I have decided to make the step to all grain, I have ~10 extract batches under my belt. I am doing a 2.5 gallon batch of Cream of Three Crops. Since i have a 5 gallon pot I will be doing it BIAB, on the stove with my existing kettle. If someone sees an error in my procedure let me know, I am planning on brewing tomorrow morning. I have the most questions about steps 1 and 2 below.

Ingredients
2lbs 12oz 2 Row
1lb Flaked corn
.22lbs minute rice
.25oz Crystal at 60 minutes
.25oz Willamette at 60 minutes
Boil Volume 3.1 gallons. Do I add all of the water to the kettle right away?
1. Heat the 3.1 gallons to 158-160F, stir in my ingredients (hopefully the temp will have dropped to 152. Hold at 152 for 90 minutes. (turning on the burner if necessary)
2. Raise the temp to 170, hold for 10 minutes
3 Pull out my grain bag, let the wort drip into the kettle
4. Boil just like one of my extract batches adding hops when appropriate.
5. Ferment and be happy!
