Thanks man. I got the valves here. They work pretty good but you don't need to open them fully to get a good flame going. I find that the flame maxes out a couple of turns in.

Love the front controller! I did the same on mine. :mug:

Possibly. Maybe at FH Steinbart?

I used 2" mild steel tubing.

Thanks man, I think I'll try that. I recall seeing some aluminum or thin steel sheets at Home Depot so maybe I'll pick a couple up and give it a whirl. :mug:

I am so in!

I think I began planning around Sep/Oct 2010 and built the mockup in December. My buddy then built the stand in February and I had a fully functioning system in March. I used it like that all year tweaking the pump plumbing here and there (I originally didn't have the three-way valves) then...

I originally had a pretty detailed spreadsheet with all the components but I grew a little lax as the project evolved over the year. I'm guessing it is around 3-3500 for the stand and control panel. The pots are another 1100ish.

Other shots. I know I've spammed this thread with a ton of pics but seeing other people's rigs has really helped me with this build so hopefully I can help others out. If you want any pics of anything else or have a question, let me know. Cheers, Brandon

Wires for gas valves entering the console and gas lines to valves. Pump wires entering console. I also added a washer because the gap between the stand and console was a bit too tight to fit the hose end with a quick disconnect through. Magnetic hooks work perfectly for keeping the...

Gas manifold with pilot lines to the burners. The far left valve is the BK and I don’t need a pilot for that. Pumps mounting. I still need to add drip shields in case of spills. Anyone have an idea of how to make them without a break? Gas pilot line. The extra screw is covering...

Unfortunately, the pics of the 1/10th scale model made of balsa wood and the high speed camera footage were lost due to hard drive failure :)

I had the powder coater put a high temperature coating around the burners and normal powder coating everywhere else. He also welded on some tabs on the top to help direct the hot exhaust gases out the back of the stand. The round kettles sitting on the square burner mounts create four small...

Console all done!
