So I've searched for a spec sheet on the cinder/besser concrete blocks sold at the big green shed, but have been unsuccessful in finding what temperature they are "rated" to, if any?
Until I can organise a friend and his welder to build a better stand for my keggle and burner, I am planning on brewing with one of the two setups in the attached photos. The first one is my preferred because the keggle is far more stable, but I am worried about the heat on the cinder blocks and if this will damage them or even cause them to explode like what people have seen happen to garage floors. The second method the keggle is not quite stable on my burner, although with the weight when full with water/wort/grain I believe it may be stable enough, the bonus being it removes the heat on cinder block potential risk?
Basically does anyone know if the first arrangement will be fine with these blocks, can they tolerate flame/heat so close to them for extended periods like a full brew day?
