Depends on when I get up. :)

Bobby -- Can I use this on my brew kettle with a Banjo Cooker or will I melt it? I plan on making a shroud like one shown on this site to keep the flame from blowing out and also to hold heat in. Will your sight glass melt and, if so, what can I do to prevent that from happening?

I was thinking the same thing -- that I would use the 5 gallon one for the sparge water -- and the 52 quart one as the MT. But I see your point, the 10 gallon Rubbermaid would probably do the trick. It's about $40 at Home Depot - twice what the 52 qt. Igloo rectangular cooler costs, but on...

Does Great Stuff come with a nozzle to spray or do you need a separate sprayer to work with it? I assume you just drilled a hole in the lid, sprayed the insulation in and then plugged it. What did you use to plug it?
