Just wanted to share the 2-tier setup I built. Its flexibility allows you to be able to use a cooler as the mash tun or HLT, and a keggle as the other. Or keggles for both. I know, I could have just built one stand 3' tall and the other 6' tall, but I didn't want to have to climb up and down a ladder.
So, here are the 3 pieces I built. From left to right is a 4' stand, a 2' stand, and a 1' "booster".
Using the cooler as the mash tun you'd use the booster with the 2' stand, making your two stands 4' and 3' tall.
Using the cooler as the HLT you'd use the booster with the 4' stand, making your two stands 5' and 2' tall.
If you wanted to use converted kegs for both the mash tun and the HLT you'd just skip the booster. I only have 2 burners now, but you get the idea.
The whole setup cost $30 between 2x4's and screws. I already had the tops laying around. Let me know if there are any questions.
