Thanks. It's looking like the rain is going to keep me from doing to much work today (I don't like to weld when it's rainy and moist) but I'm heading out to my garage to clean up some welds and whatnot. I'll post my progress later tonight.The idea looks awesome! I can't wait to seethe final product!

Yea, when the brewstand is bigger than the transport it requires a serious application of Quantum Physics to make it work.Here's the last poor SOB that tried it.... it will break down into two sections and fit in my Honda Accord ...

LOL. The way I'm doing it is pretty simple. The top of the base (pic above) has 4 vertical 1.5" sq tube pieces. The rest of the stand is made out of 1.25" sq tube. The 1.25 fits snuggly into the 1.5, so the legs of the top will slide right down into the base anchoing it together. The base (including the wheels) is 39 x 20 x 13 which fits nicely in my trunk. The top section will fit in the back seat and everything else gets stacked throughout the rest of the car. It took some pseudo engineering skill, but if I pull it off it will be pretty slick.Yea, when the brewstand is bigger than the transport it requires a serious application of Quantum Physics to make it work.

President of my club and we do a number of brew outs/ins each year.I stopped by an asian resturant supply shop after work today and picked up my burners. The guy was curious as to why a young lanky white guy would want 3 of these, and after I explained why he have me a deep discount. Apparently he sells them on eBay and he liked my suggestion to list beer/homebrew as a key word i guess. Anyway, they're 8" with 20 jets and are quoted at around 120 btu. The first pic is with out the flame sheild and the second is with it. It should be simple to run a pilot to these. I can't decide if I'll use the the flame thing yet or not, any thoughts?Just curious why it needs to fit in your trunk, you drive around with it often?
