Purchase only dry, straight 2 x 4’s.
Cut all 2 x 4 pieces to exact lengths using a table saw or chop
saw. A hand-held saw won’t produce 90-degree cuts. Assemble
the Front and Back sides with a 2.5” wood screw
at the center of each joint. Check for square angles.
Cut the two burner platforms, notch each corner for proper fit,
and place into final position. Attach cross supports, as shown
on the Top View, with a 2.5” wood
screw. Pre-drill holes to avoid wood splits. Check for square
angles. Drill all holes for Carriage Bolts and Lag Screws, Insert
bolts & screws and tighten. Screw-down the two burner platforms
with 1.25” wood screws. Insert
2.5” screws on corners where appropriate. Be certain that
the Mash Tun supports are level and that the mash tun will sit
evenly without rocking. Attach a 1” x
1/8” x 23.5” Steel
Strip on top of each Mash Tun Support & drill strips for
recessed screw heads.
