It goes down easily too. It gets a little hung up without any weight on it and I have to wiggle it back and forth, but with a full keg on it it went down nice and easy, and that winch will not free spin so no worries about falling beer.
Thanks Josh.

Not including the kegs I think I have about $150-$200 in it. I spent close to $100 just for the crap to finish plumbing the propane to the burners which includes a 0-30 psi regulator, a couple needle valves to control each burner, some gas flex tubing and various fittings. Other than that about all I had to buy was the winch and the wheels. I got all the metal for free and hacked up my old turkey fryers for the burners.
I got the 2 kegs for $35 each.
Still itching to really test it out, but I need to buy a few more things to be able handle making 10 gallon batches and money's a little tight right now. Plus it's so damn hot right now I don't want to be outside that long.

I did a test boil yesterday. It took about 30 minutes to get 14 gallons of water from 80 deg to boiling and man this thing really puts off a lot of heat with that 30 psi regulator..
Waiting on a couple of things I ordered to show up before I brew. I already have ingredients bought so I should be able to brew my first 10 gallon batch this weekend or next, depending on when all the various little things show up.
