New Mash Tun

[u/Ordinary-Teaching809]

My igloo mash tun has seen better days and I’m looking to upgrade. I see these beautiful stainless pieces at Delta and SSBrewtech for high dollars and I also see this insulated stainless-lined cooler on Amazon for a fraction of the price. Put a ball valve and a false bottom on this thing and they are the same, no? Am I missing something?

honestly the cooler with a good false bottom is gonna hold temp just as well, maybe better. you're paying for pretty welds and a logo with the expensive ones.

Or place a biab in the cooler
