Here are some other pics to give you an idea of the size of this thing. These are a little different, but it should help you get an idea of the dimensions. Basically if it is made to fit a keg on each stand, one above the next, then it will be about right.

There is only one wench on the first one I posted. It is just to move the lower burner/pot stand. If you look close I think you can see that the lower platform is mounted on a sleeve instead of the main trunk that allows it to slide.

I sent a message to the guy who made it to try and get more info on it. Of course any modifications to make it better are welcome. I'm thinking maybe putting all of the platforms on sleeves so they can be adjusted and locked in place with set pins. There only needs to be a winch on the lower one though cause that is the only one that will need to be moved with weight on it.

I probably won't be able to buy the bigger pots or empty kegs for a while due to cost, but I could meet to over there and give you one of the pots I am currently using. I might be able to borrow a keg-pot, I will have to check with some of my fellow homebrewers in the area. I have a couple of burners that can be used, at least until I decide to upgrade to some bigger ones.

It would need to be able to raise the lower stand up to about a minimum of 25" above the ground or the base of the stand.

I just got a reply back from the guy who built it saying ask away on the questions! I'm going to see if he can send me some more detailed pictures, measurements on total height and distance between platforms.

The hoses just need to be rated to carry propane. I actually have a couple like in the pictures with the regulators on them. Steel braided would look nice!
