Hi Joe. I know this is a few months old, but I was wondering if those insulated boiler wraps worked for you. Also, wondering how your project went overall. I am currently in the middle of working through a partial tear down and rebuild of my ~12.5 year old Brewtus II.
Thanks and hope all is going smoothly.
