Like many home brewers, I started using extract kits and a turkey cooker. As I moved to BIAB it presents the inherent new problems of bag removal, squeezing, and such. At the same time I started doing BIAB I found a Camp Chef Exploere two-burner stove on clearance for $60 at my local farm and ranch store.

To use this stove For BIAB I wanted to be able to manipulate the grain bag without setting up under a ladder or tree to hoist it out. In between the burners is a piece of stamped metal with 3/8" threads welded in it. So, I took a piece of flat stock and drilled a hold in it and mounted it to the stove.

A piece of tubing was welded underneath the top framework of the stove to stiffen it up. Then I took a piece of tubing and welded it from the flat stock to the top of the frame.

I found a piece of rod that was almost exactly the same size as the tubing and a similar sized flat washer and welded it into the tubing arm so that the arm would pivot on top of the upright tubing.

The arm is built "hell for stout"

I like it! Second kettle is for a dunk sparge ?

Could double batch with two simultaneous brews as well.

Nicely done! How big of pots (diameter) can you got on there at the same time?

I dunk sparge regularly and have boiled and mashed at the same time. I could have two of the eight gallon kettles going on the burners at the same time. The whole system works out wonderfully for me.
