Finally making the jump to all grain! About time too.
Anyway, I've spent a bunch of time searching around for a couple good coolers to make my set up. I found this one:

Academy - Coleman® 48 qt. Chest Cooler

It looks pretty good to me, and maybe I've just been obsessing over this too much, but does anyone know if this is a good one. Mostly, I'm worried about the insulation being on the thin side and not holding temps very well. thoughts?

Hey, Brewjack! You're gonna love AG brewing!

I went with a round 10 gal cooler with a SS false bottom. There's a great thread here on the DIY steps to make one.

Also, just search on 'mash tun' in HBT and you will find tons of info.

Here's the one I made - it works great: http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/cheap-easy-10-gallon-rubbermaid-mlt-conversion-23008/

Have fun!
