I just talked with fastnenal today. they quoted me 22 per 10 feet and would not cut to specs. the crazy thing is I have been getting quotes all over the place. granger quoted me something like 80 per 10 foot piece. I noticed that the prices for these struts are on the upswing since a few months ago and i am not sure why. let me know what fastenal gives you for a quote.
I still haven't read all this yet, but wanted to ask this to see if it's been done. I'm leaning heavily on strut over a welded stand.
Brutus 10 style but with storage for the keggles under similar to what jlandin did? https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/my-new-brew-system-brutus-10-some-nice-modifications-172927/
Edit, the more I read I don't think it's that necessary. My goal was to store it under a workbench (that I may also build out of strut)
Keep us posted. I think it would be nice for space savings. If you are happy with it, I may hit you up for some dimensionsI built my strut stand using his measurements. I am not finished yet, but I think it would work out well.
i'd say so. sounds like you have a mild case of gearitis. it'll passRDWHAHB, right? If its not broke don't fix it?
Has anyone used self-leveling feet on their stand? I was looking at casters but when looking at my garage/driveway...some leveling is a must. I was thinking of maybe using a splice at the bottom and using a splice plate and bolting some levelers on. Just wondering what others have done.
The corner brackets (THK-233) are on backorder on StrutChannelFittings.com until the end of February. Are they available anywhere else? Does anyone sell something similar that would work? They do have a powder-coated version available for ~$1 more but would this cause problems if used close to the burners?
Strut is some good stuff. I actually have been using it to weld with...I used a wire wheel to remove the galvanized layer from the last 2" of each piece. It still fumed a bunch but i made sure the garage was well ventilated. Also had problems here and there with porosity but still ended up with adequate welds. New steel is expensive, especially the 2" square stuff brewers seem to like. A 10' section of strut is $19 @ lowe's...new steel is easily twice that.
It took about 50 feet of strut to complete a B3 1550ish type sculpture...that's $100 in strut or $200+ in steel....forget about stainless...that's closer to $300!
I am certain the 12 can boil 10 gallons. All depends on high or low pressure though.
It should do it. I ran a 10psi and a smaller torch style burner and got 7 gallons rolling in 30-40 minutes I'd bet, but it was LOUD! I have a new 30 psi reg I would sell you cheap over returning itYeah, all the info out there gets confusing. So, the BG12 will work, but not in the kit I linked with a 10psi regulator?
Curious as this is the biggest problem I am having. Build my own wind screens/mounts or pay $25/ea for stainless brewers hardware pieces. I am not sold on the thickness of the BH's pieces for hanging these heavy pieces from long term or if you move your stand from garage to backyard or on a trailer/back of a truck.Anyone have any tips on mounting 10" banjo burners?
