Ok, Ive been working like a mad mad. Building aVERY VERY nice direct fired RIMS system. Fully welded steel frame, 2 banjo burners and a smaller one for the mash tun. ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES right? Well Its been way more money than I thought it was going to be. And now Im just frustrated. Today Im finishing it up and I fire it up and those bajo burners are freggin' insane. Even toned down EVERYTHING is getting so hot. I even cracked the glass on a brand new Brewmometer. UGH! So depressing. Sorry for the crappy picture, it was taken with my phone and I forgot to take a realpicture befor I started dismateling everything tryin to get it to run cooler. The gads manifold was istantly hot so I moved it down from where you can see it there, but it just seems like the banjos are way too much heat to try and control. I mean, some of the guys I have seen use the actual frame for the gas manifold. If I did that it seems as though it would explode! Can any one pick apart my design here and help me out. Ive been a lurker on the site forever, as I couldnt have gotten this far, but Ive never read any one having this much heat? THANKS.
