I have a Morebeer heavy duty kettle with valve and I love it a billion times more than trying to pour 5 gallons into a funnel.
When my wort chiller is done doing it's work I just put the hose on the barb fitting and put the end in the fermenter and open the valve.
So much faster and less likely to get screwed by my sweat dripping into the kettle as I try to handle a heavy 5 gallons of wort.
I had one batch of Heather Ale get some nasties... the funnel got clogged and me trying to squeeze it out, empty the hop bags that was a strainer... the heat etc... i must have dripped sweat into the mix because it was hella sour and nasty when it was done fermenting.
I'll get them on every kettle i get from now on.
