Thinking about building a 2 tier sculpture....

...So I have been reading every possible thing I can get my hands on regarding the bazillion different sculptures and methods (RIMS/HERMS). I am going to throw this out there as I just found this online last night.
Any thoughts if this could work as the beginning of a 2 tier system? Price is right and the burners are included. Seems to be a good start versus building one from slotted angle iron (i dont weld!) or paying someone to weld one for me. Also I am using keggles and not SS pots so there is a bit more weight....

I would love to know everyone's thoughts....

:lol: Look at that thing. There's more than one homebrewer working at bayou, clearly. Look at the "customers who bought related items also bought" section below. Copies of "Joy of Homebrewing," "How to Brew," "Brewing Classic Styles" and big pots. Nobody is buying this thing to boil crawfish.

good call... the only concern i guess is how sturdy it is. I suppose if its meant to hold two pots of scalding grease it should be fairly stable!
Someone out there reading this must have one of these!! Curious to know more about it...

I agree. It needs something in the middle. If only for my peace of mind.

Assuming that it's stable, where would you put the third vessel?

You might want to try something simple like this! Kinda goes 3 tiers :P

I did my first 15 all-grain batches by putting my sparge water in cornies and pushing it out with CO2. Two vessels.
