BIAB Sculpture

Post by Dutch » Fri Oct 12, 2012 9:14 pm

Next project to make the ideal and yet portable BIAB sculpture.
Virtually all aluminum
I am thinking of maybe 26 or so inches square with a solid plate with round hole on top to minimize heat coming up the outside.
Removable legs of about 18" or so to get it up of the ground a bit.
A removable top frame [and small winch] to allow one to winch up the bag and drain/squeeze the bag above the pot.
Any thoughts?

What about a way of lowering the pot, instead of lifting the bag?

I had thought about that but then you wind up with a couple of problems with your initial heating about three feet off the ground and then have to find a way to lower each of four legs together. You also wind up with a bad tipover ratio having a large mass higher up and this forces you to make the base into a larger square [at least 30 and maybe 36"] ?
