OK a light bulb just went off in my head:
You could do the same thing on a larger scale in a Nesco!!!!!
DING! DING! DING! DING!
Brilliant, indeed!
Sparging would be interesting, though........

bring on the revolution !!!!
just kidding
my thought was to offer up an idea for those that cannot do large AG brews
I have had really good results with this stuff
it is only good for about 3 or 4 # of grain
which works out great for PM brews
BTW it finished OG after the water was 1.064

Besides, Walmart lists that at $16 when you can get this thermometer for $7 at Amazon:

If it works for you, great! It just takes SO LONG to get up to temp in a crockpot, I can't see myself being that patient. How do you get the wort out of the crockpot and into the boil kettle without aerating the hell out of it? If you've got any concern about HSA at all (debatable whether you should), you don't want to be pouring that.
