Does anybody have a good source for custom/inexpensive retail display stands?

I ended up getting a couple of quotes but most of them were for 32k-40k not including installation or shipping. I spoke with a local contractor that I've used in the past and he hooked me up with a local heating company who has installed boilers for breweries. The heating company is quoting me 25-30k including installation. They do have one question. The quote was for a boiler with a pump but they think that they may be able to use gravity/steam pressure to circulate the steam and lower the price of the boiler. I need to find a good resource on the topic.

I have a 300 gallon still and a 217 gallon mash tun to heat up. I was told I'll need a boiler that generates 900,000-1,000,000 BTUs by the local boiler rep that I spoke to.

Does anybody have a good resource to purchase a boiler (relatively inexpensive)? I need a boiler that creates low pressure steam and can generate 1,000,000 BTU. Thanks!

Does anybody know the optimal plate spacing for a 6" reflux column? Thanks!

I am trying to find information on the helmets of whiskey stills. What are people's opinions of putting a helmet above the boiler on a reflux still when making whiskey? What kind of helmet dimensions do people like and what is the difference in diameter between the equator of the helmet and the entrance/exit of the helmet. Thanks!
