To those making a brewstand...

[Jublin]

I was browsing Costco's website for smokers (Beer and BBQ were made for each other), and cam across this: http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11486034

It looks like it would easily work for a brewstand (forgive my terminology if it's wrong). If I had more equipment/room in my garage, I'd consider trying it out as such.

They appear to have a number of styles. Great find!

Even better. Hopefully next year I'll have the space/money/equipment that requires something like this.

Wow this is awesome. Thank you for sharing!

Do you think it would be sturdy enough to handle a HLT and MLT?

 

[bniesen]

The angle iron is pretty sturdy, it has to be otherwise there would be a lot of lawsuits of burn victims. The bolt together aspect would worry me a little. If I bought one of these and it looked a little unstable during a test run, I would just add a couple of cross braces or take it to a welder. If I didn't already have a system (half ass'd but it works for me) I would buy it.

I own this burner and I like it. It is plenty sturdy enough. I use it to heat up my water for strike/mash out/sparge and to boil the wort. I have 10g Igloo cooler as my MLT so I do not use it for that.

Looks like there's a portable single tier rig as well

I was thinking of using the top burner for HLT, put up some Hardi Backer and putting the 10 Gal on the larger bottom burner (obviously without flame), and then gravity feed my turkey fryer on the ground. As you own the unit would you think this would be feasible?

Wait, so avoid the using the more powerful burner at all? The bottom burner is really low to the ground. I have a ball valve on my pot and there is no way I could drain anything from the bottom burner to something else.

Here is what I do with it. I use the top burner to heat strike water and put my 10 igloo on the bottom one with no flame. Then I drain into the cooler. I move the cooler to my back steps deck which happens to be the perfect height. Then heat water with the top one for mash out and batch sparge. Finally I drain from the cooler to the pot which is on the bottom burner. This could be accomplished with a stand, but my deck is the right height and I put the burner right next to it.

If you want the traditional 3 tier setup with 3 burners I would build a stand that is higher then the top burner and attach a propane burner. Then you could fly sparge and so on.

Get a pump for that and you are good to go.

 

[cliffhanger1821]

Exactly what I am getting, MLT/RIMS toolbox on ground, HLT on top burner, gravity drain dough-in and sparge water to MLT, then pump to BK on bottom burner.

Sams Club has it cheaper...

This one too...

[jmkratt]

Wow that price is ridiculous.

I love the posibilities of this 3 burner model but does anyone know if it is sturdy enough and big enough for 3 keggles? I don't mind doing some reinforcing and adding casters but I'm wondering about the size.

 

[rekoob]

well, I would consider this if I didn't just buy 300 lbs of steel for a stand.

Great find, and awesome posibilities here.

 

[G_Brew]

i like this... for 150$, that would barely buy the steel and the burner...

unfortunately for me costco in canada doesn't have it!
