Crap, they are not dual locking. Thanks for the heads up! I will see if Granger has something similar to the bolt spacing I already used. Would hate to have to patch and re-drill.
rekoob said:I didn't use double locking casters on mine, however, if/when I change them out I will most likely get double locking. BUT, I have never had a problem with mine moving at all. It takes a little bit of man handling to get it to change direction when I move it around, once i get it in position for brewing I just make sure all the casters aren't pointed the same way. Again, not ideal but its working without any stand movement at all.

mtmetzler said:Ok, gave it another night of work. Going to take a break and brew some this weekend. Unless I feel like sweating like crazy, my next update won't be until sometime next week/weekend. As for tonight added the spacers to get me to 11" along with a heat shield. Only have one heat shield and will have to do over as the gauge I had is too flimsy. Will drill and tap so I can mount the shield with some screws. I didn't want to make it permanent in case it needs to adjusted for max burner efficiency. Always open for suggestions and critics. Thanks!
Thanks for the input. How are your casters fixed to the stand?

Funny you say that, after holding the burner in place I was thinking the same thing. I basically removed all possibility of gasses escaping in the northern direction. would hate to have the keg any higher for stability reasons. How do you accomplish this with yours, you have a pic? Also, wondering if I created a few more "vents" in the bottom of the keg or widened the ones that are already there. Once would also assume we would need to build some heat shields to protect sight glasses and valve ports if the keg was lifted. That is why I was suggesting bigger strategic vents on the bottom of the kegs.
Thoughts?
I did a similar thing and had no room for exhaust gas to go...
Nice job, I can see myself using a variation of something like that! Thanks to both of you guys letting us know about the gas escape issue. mmurray, what gauge steel did you use for the rings, looks like 18 or 20? I tried already but only had 26 gauge which was great for fitting, but not strong enough to hold burners
I bought the shie.....
I noticed in your pic the shut off/adjust valve.
I currently have 1 preset 30psi regulator feeding into a manifold that feeds all 3 burners and 2 pilot lights. See the picture below and I'll tell you what didn't work.One of the guys helping on the build just purchased a 0-30 PSI Regulator, well actually 2, once for each burner. If we do a black pipe set up to feed both burners would we just hook the reg directly to the pipe via adapter or do we only need one directly to the tank and then to the black pipe. Thanks for the help.
