I've done a bit of searching and have seen several photos of guys using a sanke keg as their MLT. However, some of these show the kegs being insulated and some do not. I've been using a converted cooler as my MLT, but the heat has finally started to deteriorate the inner plastic and it is cracking...So its time for a new MLT. I've got a spare sanke keg that I could use (and it would match my sanke HLT and BK) but with the design of my brew stand, I don't think I could insulate the outside without melting the insulation while heating my HLT. I use a RIMS system, so I think that the temperature would be maintained without the insulation, but I'd like to know if anyone else is doing it this way, or if I'm gonna need to come up with something else. While a cooler would be the best for insulation, I'd rather not have to keep replacing them.
