I too had a Half Pint that I mounted on a cart, held in place with C clamps. Would roll it out of the shop, onto a plywood base when I boiled. It worked very well.

I enjoyed being outside when I boiled. Something I miss on the sunny days, now that we have the sugar house. Good luck with your new rig...it's going to be a fun hobby for you.
