Thanks,
 
wegz15, I left you a PM over the weekend. Hopefully you got it and we can arrange pickup for the 4L. Thanks!
 
Why do people choose to use these, as opposed to a growler? Any benefits?

They can be direct heated which results in less chances of contamination of starter wort. They're mostly immune to temp shock so you can cool quickly in an ice bath. Most have measurements so you know exact liquid amounts. Just to name a few.
 
I paid for 2 of the 4L flasks.

You can use direct heat to heat them but I wouldn't use an electric stove to do it. I did that before and with the element it gets hot spots. That stresses the glass in just one place and bang right on the stove the bottom falls off. Now i use a heated stirplate and all is good.

I have heard of people getting around that with an old pan with some sand in it...
