You will need to reinforce for strengthI question if you can get 3 vessels on there as big as KegglesNot sure of the BTU rating of the burners if they can handle 10g batches efficiently

I wouldn't chance it. I've knocked over a kettle of boiling wort myself. Not fun.For $189 I think you could get something better.

The only review provided, suggests the same as BlKtRe notes above...

I tried one of these with Polarware 10 gal kettles. This frame is not wide enough to get all three pots centered over the burners. The frame is sturdy enough until you put the leg extensions on. I wouldn't trust it even with a 5 gallon batch on the supplied legs. The plumbed together burners are the best part and they are adequate power for a 5 gallon batch but the burner mounting is kinda flimsy. A piece of angle iron bolted on would do wonders compared to the flat steel Bayou used. Maybe this will work with some smaller diameter kettles (Polarware 10 is 14.5" diameter) or if you are willing to let the kettles hang off on the side shelves. (Posted on 1/15/10)

Yeah, I saw that. Curious to what the residents of the Brews Bros thought. Does anyone know of any similar products they can be recommended? Short of my building one myself since I have no carpentry skills.

Sure, but they come with a big price tag...what's the budget?

know anybody that welds? Design something that will work for you, buy the materials, pay them for their time and you'll probably come out ahead of that one you linked.

I want very much badly want to learn how to weld. I don't really have the time or money to do so though. I can think of a hundred things I could do if I could weld, a brew stand would be numero uno.Cheers,Rich
