Surprisingly stable but will brace it up to the rafters in the shed for extra support till I get a decent boiler made.
Once you get some liquid in the boiler, it should make it a little more stable but I found even with a full boiler my 2" pot still had a tendency to be top heavy (note this was not the standard 2" pot the FSD sell but on I knocked together out of 2" parts I had handy).
Definitely worth tethering the top to something!

Exactly right mate got some solid beams to brace back to. Just ordered a first tee from Mac as well can't wait to get it going.
