Burner Modification

I purchased a Cajun Cooker type pan frying system from my local Sam's club for $39 specifically to use for boiling my wort. The stand's outer ring diameter was the same as the outside of my converted keg. I could neither fit the keg inside the ring, nor sit the edges over the outside of the ring. To remedy the situation:

I cut the ring in 3 locations midway between each of the three ring supports. Next I seperated each ring support from the stand.

Each section of the ring was then straightened slightly in a vise.

I had the ring supports welded back on each 1 inch further out from the center than it was previously. Then I had short sections of rebar welded in to join the ring back together.

Small sections of rebar were then cut to fit the gaps in the enlarged ring and were welded in place. The stand now supports the weight of a full keg easily and securely.
