Propane Set-Up

[Jake]

So when I was at Ian's house on Saturday, I was jealous of the fact that his propane was so much faster than my stove, so I decided I was going to try propane brewing. Also, propane is so cheap now since costco's come to town, that influenced the decision even more.

I went to both walmart and Crappy Tire to buy one of the propane stands with the alumium pots included and neither had them. I saw them at canadian tire just a couple months ago and almost bought one, but apparently they were red tagged recently and discontinued, and they no longer carry them. Same thing with Wal-Mart?!?! WTF is going on??

Anyone know where I can get a solid propane stand?

This is what I planned on buying ... I dont need the pot, just the stand.

Summer vs winter stock. Try buying a hose-pipe in the winter and you have a similar problem.

I'm gunning for a stand too, so if I find one I'll post in this thread; if you do - vice-versa.

uh, I think its because "normal" people don't buy propane appliances in winter. I have the same problem when I'm in a hardware shop trying to adapt everything to brewing purposes...

I think the oromocto Canadian Tire still has them, I'll try to remember to look tomorrow

[Richard]

Thanks Dean. If it's less than 80 bucks could you grab me one and I'll chuck you the cash when I see you tomorrow?

I've been running the burner above since I started all grain and have no complaints.  However with my soon to be live 1/2 barrel setup I'm thinking of upgrading as those little legs don't look too stable with a 15Gal sanke sitting on top.

They propane stand I got from Home Hardware can eaily hold 10 gallon batches, super sturdy. You can tell just by looking at it that it's a though piece of equipment. Pretty easily brought the 50L up to boil in about 15-20 mins

[DandyMason]

Yeah I picked that one up from Kent, definitely happy with it... Ended up heating up my water too fast, Had to let is sit to cool down a couple times... Really happy with the propane set up, shaved quite a bit of time off my brew day.

[Kyle]

Nice to see so many people going 10 gallons. I am reaching the limit of my patience for 5 gallon. Are you guys building brew stands?

[DandyMason]

I would love a brew stand someday... Afraid im not overly handy with that type of thing
