Old thread, but how tall and wide is your stand?
Jawilson did you ever figure out the issue with your pumps?
Thanks for the shout out earlier in the thread. The only reason I went into so much detail with my control box was because I couldn't find it anywhere else on here. I'm not an expert by any means so it was a process of trial and error. I have experience with wiring and repairing audio components but not really doing something like this.
Truthfully, it's been right at about two years since I put it together and it's been working great. I probably couldn't build another one tomorrow without directly referencing mine or figuring it out as I went again. Maybe I'd reference my pics and cheesy arrow graphics from way back when...
Old thread, but how tall and wide is your stand?
\The frame is 24x52 on top of 4" casters.

Thanks a bunch
Much narrower than I guessed. I am at 56" wide and have 13" between the burners and 4" between the keggles. Maybe I should narrow up my burner spacing to 12". I have yet to order my burners or decide on how I am doing the windscreens.
I just emailed them and got a response, they are off backorder and will ship this week. Now to find a decent deal on the burners. Shipping is killing me on these pigs.
yeah I called them and don't have the shipping $ in front of me, but it was in the $50 range for 3 burners. Seemed steep to me even with their great prices.
Just trying to find a distributor closer to me is all.You will be surprised just how heavy they are.
Is 18 gauge steel really thick enough to support those heavy burners? That's only 0.048" thick
I am racking my brain over burners, burner mounting and stand design. I have all the keggles, fittings, hose, pumps and am making the simple and tried and true part too complicated.
I am more concerned with transporting this as I plan to move this around, on a trailer, etc. I am not dismissing them, just rethinking another way to skin this cat. Not questioning your stands structure at all.
Good to know thanks, I need to order a LP regulator and orifice's so I may tack these onto the order as well.The only element that causes me concern if I ever were to transport my stand is the control panel arm.
Just ordered my burner rings and orifices from BH's. Thanks for all the answers via PM. Much appreciated.
In looking for an option that can be more contained in my MLT I see this option from Norcal (http://www.norcalbrewingsolutions.com/store/product419.html). I really like the feature that this can be installed inside my MLT and allow for me to connect to it via a cam lock for my hoses. Has anyone else used this guy?
In my initial brew I also only returned liquid to my MLT and HLT by running the hose into the top of the keg. I think I would also like to incoropate bulkhead returns at the tops of my keggles to do this. Could I get away with recirculating through my sparge assembly at full speed during my mash? Or do I need to recir faster?
I am liking this setup a lot. Price seems fair considering stainless anything is not that cheap. I priced the pieces and I am at $35+shipping so $45 from NorCal is very good.No problem! Best of luck with the build!

My MT already has an upper fitting, I will use some silicone tubing on top of the grain bed for my first batch or three, but this is seriously promising for the price.
