    So, I just finished my Kettle conversion from a keg and got all my stuff for my first 10g batch and I went to just put the kettle onto my burner (turkey frier) and realized that it doesn't quite fit on it. The round part is just a slight bit too small so the round inner dome on the bottom of the kettle just sits in but isn't sturdy.
    Is there any quick easy fixes I can do myself to help make it fit? Like add some type of metel pieces on 4 corners and weld them on so it can sit on there. Or any easier fixes?
    Thanks so much! I have attached a picture of my burner I have.
    THANKS!! I wanted to brew on Wednesday!!

    I have the same exact burner and I use keggles. I had three little wings (2" long x 1" wide, 1/8" thick sheet metal) that are even with the top, welded onto the three legs. They stick out about 2" from the main burner. In reality you only need about an inch, but I went with 2" to be safe. Quick easy fix.

    I have the same situation, I use 2 pieces of square steel tubing layed across the top of the burner for the keg to sit on.

    I can get some pictures of mine tonight if I remember. Unless you've fixed it already.

    I have the same burner and use a keggle, just put a spare grill or oven rack over the burner and put the keggle on top. Make sure you don't need the rack for anything else, it will warp from the heat!

    Same exact issue here and I stopped at Menards and bought a grill rack for $7 which worked great. I plan to weld some extra tabs around the edge, but this works for now.

    I have the same burner, I like the grill rack idea, but I ended up buying a Bayou Classic SP14 and it works great!
    Cheers!!
