I use some kludged together hose set I made up to connect to the stand. Imagine a really long disclaimer about doing that.......
If you have two locations you want to connect into, it's best to have rigid pipe running to both locations so you can use the shortest piece of flex hose you can.
While I've gotten my multi-jet burners to work for me, in most cases, I really have a hard time recommending them. I want to try the Hurricane burner with the nat gas orifice. My biggest problem right now is getting my mashtun burner to run low enough.
I was thinking of a 20 to 25ft flex NG line. My patio and the garage location for two brewing options are located within that range of the NG source. I would also only use one three burner brew stand at a time on it. I would not leave the flex line under pressure and would disconnect it from the source and store it when not used for brewing.
I was in Northern Brewery last week and was told they will soon have a NG option. I am not certain what it will be nor when.
I may then, due to cost of a Hurricane set up, eliminate the burner that would be used for the mash tun. I am planning on batch sparging anyway and I could always design the system framework for expansion in the future should I want to try direct heat.
