Hi, Ive just upgraded my equipment and thought I'd share what I done and get some opinions, I just moved, before that I was doing my brews in the kitchen, in this new house I got myself organised to brew outside and increase my capacity, first brew in this house and on this equipment, next weekend ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

bought a 36L round cooler, and a 10" false bottom, my father in law plumber helped me with the pipe and taps, I had some problem with it not being water tight, what done the job for me was selleys kneadit aqua, its foodsafe, will handle the temp and stuck to the plastic fine.
My new Kettle (and for now HLT as well):

My New Burner:

hopefully powerful enough to get me through for years to come, wont know the power till I try it.
My Father in law helped me set up a filter outside to draw my brewing water from and I decided to put a hose length in a plastic container with ice in it before going to the chiller to increase its cooling efficiency, then from chiller to regular hose fitting to water garden (after its cool) or whatever to not waste water.

I few little things to nut out but I think I've done ok, the proof will be on brew day next weekend.
