I recently welded together my two tier stand and am in the process of aquiring all the finishing touches for the system to take off. Once I suck it up and pay the 100 bucks for the subscription, I will post pictures (I also need to clean up the sorry welds and paint it.)
What I need are suggestions/part numbers for the last few things I need.
#1: 3-piece ball valves: I would REALLY prefer stainless, although the QDs I got from MMC are brass so I guess it doesn't matter. The cheapest I have found SS ones is morebeer for 25 each (once I buy the 3, the shipping is free.)
#2: Hoses: As mentioned above, I bought QDs for the system and I think when all is said and done, I will have a need for 4 lengths of high temp hose. I don't know what to use and what is food safe. I see pictures all over the place but I went to HD last weekend and 3 different people told me they didn't know what they were talking about.
#3: Sight Glass: I have 2 Sankes (purchased LEGALLY) and a cooler. I dont plan on using a sight glass for the cooler, but would like to have one on each of the kegs (at LEAST the HLT.) What is everyone's preference for this?
#4: Burner mounting: I have welded everything into place except for the mounts for my two banjo burners (burners only.) What I would like to do is build a round shield and cut grooves down the sides instead of holes so that the burner can be raised, lowered at will. My current plan is to weld two pieces of steel 1" stock 9" apart across the opening in the stand and use that as the basis for the mount (i know, I know, pictures would help)
#5: Last but not least, does anyone have any tips for building the regulator for the propane. Like I mentioned, I have 2 banjo burners and no burner body. My plan was to buy the 0-30 psi Bayou classic regulator from Amazon and solder/bolt some sort of tubing together to be able to feed both burners from one tank (they will be run individually, never simultaneously,) and not have the propane supply suffer to either one.
Its really amazing the amount of ideas I have been able to place into practice just from lurking on this forum for the last year. I really can't imagine how much more money and free time I would have if it weren't for the addictive content and DIY genius that resides on this forum.
