I will be doing my first outdoor brew session this weekend after a couple of years of kitchen brewing. Where as before I had the benefits of gravity to aid in transfers, I know will be switching to a turkey burner that sits 6" off the ground at best. I just bought equipment for a pump setup but it arrives friday and that doesnt leave me much time to get it configured and running for saturday. Anyone have any ideas for raising the burner up? My main concern is stability being that I am brewing with a 60qt pot so cant risk it falling over. The only solution i can think of is some CMU/cinder blocks on end. That would give me any extra 12" or so that would work to gravity into my 50qt chest-type cooler that I mash in.
On a side note, how much heat gets reflected back by the bottom of the pot? I have an epoxy-coated garage floor and zero drive-way (condo in a planned community) so I will be brewing on the threshold of the garage but might being cooking above the coated portion.
