I personally do all my brewing outside. The first time I used the boiler, I noticed that there was an almost perfect circle of cleanliness on the wooden decking right where I did my boil. With that in mind, I decided that it was probably unwise to try doing my boil on a cushioned chair.
I had considered putting the boiler on a table however, the current table isn't that stable. I have considered getting the plastic table out of the shed, but have never been bothered as this wold require 'construction' each time.
I feel fairly safe lifting the quantities I do and never lift boiling (or near boiling) wort, just hot wort (under 70 oC).
Luckily the wife has absolutely no interest in my brewing which means she never sees what I do. As an Environmental and Safety Officer, I thikn she would certainly have something to say!!
