Hey guys, so I moved to all grain earlier this year. I built a wooden gravity system on the cheap utilizing turkey fryers to heat the HLT and the kettle. Today was my first time brewing on this system in 90+ weather and noticed that the wood under my HLT was getting discolored some (this didn't happen on my previous brew days). I figure I need some sort of heat barrier to protect the wood and was wondering if anyone knew if just a square piece of metal would work or is there something better out there?
I'm not worried about a fire because you can see my safety officer laying in the grass in the background! Thanks for the help guys.
