I am in the final stages of planning my Brutus based on the fine work already posted. Where flat stock cross pot supports at the top are used (X) , as the flame is always heating these up along with the bottom of the pots does this cause and issue with the top frame getting very hot? I was considering leaving the center areas open to avoid this. Maybe just using 4 leftover 2x2 stubs equally spaced in each pot frame. Down side of this is if you want to use smaller diameter pots from time to time. Any thoughts on this please?

i have plans to use SS on my brutus 10 and I was looking and i beleive they will heat up but i don't think it should be a problem. i think it is the point of using SS. i could be wrong but i think it will be alright.

it would be a problem useing smaller pots if you use the stubs in different places. it is utlimently your choice.
