Has anyone used a 8x14 or 10x14 in a keggle? The price isn't much more. Any opinions?

I'm ready to make a run of the bigger 1-1/2" Dry Hoppers and I'm wondering what length is going to be a "good for all"?
I've done 16, 16-1/2, 17" & some others.
Thanks.

No longer than a pin lock keg height...that will cover just about all keg sizes except 2.5gal ones.

With my experience for removing hop trub if you are using a plate chiller a 300 is the way to go.

Does anybody have any experience with a larger basket in a keggle?
So I'm considering either an 8 or 6 inch diameter model for my boilermaker. How many oz of leaf hops can be crammed into something like that? I usually use 6 to 8 oz in an ipa.

Keg dry hopper looks great.
Can you please take a picture of cap.
Is it screwed on the mash frame?

I used it this morning as a filter when transfering from carboy to keg and it worked wonders. I transfered my raspberry Amber that had 2.5 lbs of raspberries and the yeast cake. I cold crashed for 3 days prior to transfering and just stuck my auto siphon in the filter with the stopper on one side. Made life so much easier not having to hold the siphon off the bottom and it kept all the raspberry parts out and the yeast. Simply amazing
I'm hoping you guys might have some ideas. I used my 1.5" x 16.5" dry hopper yesterday as a filter for the finished wort going directly from the BK into a Better Bottle. I was excited to have this as I had some crazy break in the kettle that I wanted to keep out. However, the initial flow clogged the filter immediately. I mean nothing really got through. Chad said the filter used 300 micron mesh and I'm assuming 400 wouldn't have made much of a difference.
So, is this usage doomed to fail especially with it being so narrow? Is there another option from keeping the break material out, but not clog everything up? False bottom? Remove the immersion chiller and do a crazy strong whirlpool? Up the micron size on the filter?
Thanks for your help.

I ended up tossing mine in the trash. Put 2oz of hops in it to dry hop a batch. When it was done I pulled it out and the hops were packed in there tight. The outside layer of hops touched the beer, but the inside mass was dry as a bone. Spent a good half hour trying to break the stuff up to get it clean with out much success. I like alot of the stuff Chad has but in the end this was more of a headache and I tossed it.
