I just upgraded my 5 gallon turkey fryer to a 10 gallon spike kettle and blichmann hellfire. The burner and kettle are both awesome, but I'm looking to fine tune a bit. I noticed on my first brew day that on the 3 sides of the burner without the burner heatahield, I'm getting a ton of heat coming up the side of the pot. Seems like a pretty decent amount of wasted energy.
I'm wondering if I can add 3 more heatshields to the burner to better direct the heat to the kettle instead of the heat sneaking around the side. Since blichmann wants $10 a piece for shields, I figured it diy the shields myself, I just want to make sure there is no concern with using them all the way around.
