I don't know what happened here....I might have been the 1st person to purchase a stand from Marcus. He even painted it Red like I requested. I think he maybe got overwhelmed....To bad, the stand is very good quality..I have no complaints.

I'm certainly interested. Pictures didn't come through for me though. Let me know if still available. Thanks
Lots of old thread revival lately...this vendor isn't even on the site anymore.

I'm going with Marcus. Basic single tier mild steel, 3" casters, 3 banjo burners, 2 pump mounts with shields, 1 therminator mount, 1 water filter mount. I ordered it last Friday and I'm expecting to see it at my door sometime next week. I will respond to pm questions if you have any.
It was a good time for me to upgrade my AG system from 10 gallon Rubbermaid Coolers for my HLT and MLT and single burner. I guess I'd better take some pics of them and put them in the classifieds so that someone else can use them.
I plan to post an update with pics of the new stand when it comes....as well as offer my review of the quality and service I receive from Marcus. If it goes well, I'll let you know...if it goes wrong, I'll let you know....

Pm me with picks and info please
I will...Marcus said that he hopes to ship my stand on 3/12....so if all goes well, I should see it by next weekend. That would be a 2 week turn around time.
I would suggest that anyone considering this vendor, read this thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f173/my-brewers-equipment-brewstand-272967/.
Marcus defrauded and attempted to defraud several people on this site (including myself).

Looks like Marcus has shipped my brewstand on 3/15 instead of 3/12. There was a problem with my internet service and phone service on 3/13 when he wanted to confirm my address before shipping. My isp and phone service was available on 3/14 and I confirmed my shipping info. UPS picked it up from him yesterday. So instead of a Saturday delivery, I'll expect to see it on Monday.
One note to mention...during this process is that Marcus's mother in law had a stroke. He and his wife went to Indiana for a few days to visit her...she is ok....Marcus said it was a mini-stroke. He called me to let me know that his schedule would be off by a couple of days. I let him know that I appreciated his willingness to keep me informed of the project, but that he had more important things to worry about at that time than my brewstand.
My next post should include pics of how the shipped package looks before unpacking as well as the brewstand once it's been unpacked and set up.

Love my marcus stand, but it was months of plausible excuses, then it arrived without the burners. Few more weeks, finally got it worked out but this was last summer before he imploded. Good luck.
sorry to here how bad the turn around time was....I have a tracking number and can see that it's on its way....pics will be taken and my review will be non-biased
March 20th...my stand has arrived. Here is my personal review as promised.
The packaging looked OK. As I unpacked it, I noted that the legs are not welded on. They are on square steel posts that will fit inside the square tubing. All four legs have 3" locking casters. Three legs went in OK, but the fourth leg would not because of the stand tubing had gotten bent during shipping. It took about 2 minutes to straighten the steel with a pry bar. The fourth leg was easliy installed.
The pump mounts will work fine as long as I hang the pumps from underneath the mounts instead of mounting the pumps on top of the mounts. The pump shields installed just fine and look like they'll do just fine.
The chiller mount was not pre-drilled...so I drilled 4 holes and mounted it.
The gas lines had to be tightened....common sense said to check them before turning on the gas. Initial fire test went fine.
All in all it was 18 days from the order date to the receive date. Had my internet service not been as flakey as it was, I'm sure I would have received the stand 3 days ago on Saturday.
I'm extremely pleased with the price, the quality, and the service. The closest estimate for another stand with the same features was twice what I paid for my new stand. You can bet I'll enjoy brewing on this stand !
Tomorrow I will add a SS Tee and 2 valves for my new pump assembly. It will match my existing pump assembly. My new pots are also here and I've added their new fixtures. Tomorrow, there will also will be a leak test, a boil test, and a pump test. First batch should be on the day after tommorow.
Pics will also come tomorrow. I have some now, but I need to read how to download them....and I read much better with a beer in my hand

how do you regulate those burners ?

Valves mounted to the gas beam.
There's a 10 PSI regulator that's included....it's a lot more sensitive than my previous high pressure regulator. So far it's a combination of the high pressure regulator and the burner valves. Without any experience on a single tier / 3 burner set up.....my thought is that I will probably have one burner going at a time....possibly 2 so I can heat my sparge water during the mash. I'll have to see how much of a temperature drop I get while recirculating during the mash.
Yes....the gas valves are mounted on the gas beam....similar to the Brutus 10....
