I use a 10gal Gott Cooler. About an hour prior to strike I place the cooler on the edge of the bathtub and fill it with tap water from the shower on its hottest setting. (It helps to have a hand held shower nozzle.) After that I just dolly that bad boy (if I have no help) out to brewing area. Right before strike I drain the hot water (which is still steaming) and mash in. I have hit my temps every time.
