OP did say a "pot" in the thread title, not keggle. (not trying to sound like an a$$ here, so don't take this the wrong way or anything other than a simple observation)Brew Dude said:Many use a keg to boil their wort. Good luck pouring that thing into a fermenter

kaptain_karma said:Having a ball valve at the bottom of your kettle is great if you use a counter-flow wort chiller. I use a bazooka screen in my kettle to catch hops and hot break, then run boiling hot wort through my CFC. As long as I keep my flow rates right, 68*F wort comes out the end, along with the cold break.
