Hello. I started brewing 25 gallon batches, and my mash tun is to small to handle 40+ pounds of grain. I'm currently using a keg conversion from Breetree. I was wondering what others are using. Any thoughts? I was considering buying a large aluminum stock pot with a few modifications. Thanks...Russ
 
I use one of these:

I make 15 gallon batches and I converted a 30 gal HDPE plastic barrel into a mashtun. This is heavy duty stuff - much thicker than a cooler. It holds heat better than my SS mash tun. I used a weld-less fitting with a SS hose mesh.
A 55 gallon barrel should work great for a 25 gallon batch.
Have fun!
