wilserbrewer, my concern with the bolts is that there would be a lot of lateral force, and when they get hot, they'll soften. Maybe they won't get hot enough, and maybe the lateral force won't be enough to break them. Skooby is apparently a big guy, and it held his weight when cold, so I'm sure they would hold five gallons of wort in a kettle when they're hot. I just wanted to make sure that he thought of that before something catastrophic happens.
Scooby, just keep an eye on the wood around the burners when you're brewing. The flashing you have might be enough, but keep an eye on it anyway. It took mine a while to start charing, and then I added the heat shielding. You've already got it, so it may take longer.
