Since I started brewing all grain a year and a half or so ago, I've been stirring my mash with a plastic spoon that came with my kit. I would stir the hell out of it, and then stir again before I did my runoff. My efficiency was never that great, and I suspected this was the cause the whole time, but my numbers were always so accurate, I didn't want to touch it.
So right after Christmas, I decided I needed a mash paddle. I went to the restaurant supply store, and for 20 bucks, I got one of these:
Sports Authority - King Kooker 36" Stainless Steel Paddle
36" stainless paddle. No holes in it, and I doubt I'll ever need to drill it. I did try, but the bits I had would barely scratch it. My efficiency jumped, and it makes stirring a 30 second task. Totally amazing.
