False bottom for igloo recommendations?

[Kylestevensmusic]

Hey everyone! I recently have decided to go all grain after a year of extract brewing, etc.

Following the path, I picked up a 10-gallon igloo cooler for my mash and now need to find a recommended false bottom. Anybody have suggestions for a quality plastic one that can be ordered online?

Thanks!

A copper manifold works for me and is a pretty cheap and quick way to go about it.

Kyle,
I find myself in the same boat. Just did my first all grain batch and used a extra large fine mesh nylon bag, but I'm looking for a false bottom. I've heard that manifolds, braids, or false bottoms work but am looking at the false bottom myself. I don't know about a plastic one but I've seen this 12" recommended by people on the forums.

BendBrewer,
That wasn't the most helpful post. Would you elaborate, post references or or links?

I suggest a CPVC manifold, its easy to build and breaks apart quick for easy cleaning after each brew. A small pipe cutter is all you need to piece it together plus a sawzall or hack saw to make your slots in the bottom of the manifold. Would take a picture of mine but it is currently covered in a Barleywine mash

Shoot for something like this:
