SOLD. Thank you

The boil kettle burner is only burner that is strictly regulator controlled. Love controllers / Asco valves / pilot lights control the HLT and MT burners.

I have decided to sell my Brutus 10 (stainless steel) system. I purchased this system from a well-known HBT member who ultimately went pro. This single tier was constructed above and beyond the standard Brutus 10. It started with 0.083" wall thickness 304 SS (great balance of mass/durability)...
