I'm thinking of going AG and have been pricing equipment. What's a fair price for a keggle? I noticed 15 gallon stainless steel pots with spigot are around $220. They are more if they have a thermometer built-in, but that 's not so important to me.

chriso said:It's true, they warp pretty badly (the Bayou Classic's, that is) -- they're also pretty hard to drill through (without plasma) because the metal is so thin that it bends as you're drilling. I did NOT get a smooth cut at all, and had to sand the inside with a Dremmel for about 3 hours just to get a watertight seal.
I want a good, thick keggle. *teardrop*

WOP31 said:Actually they do, i helped another forum member (jekster) put a fitting on the same pot, a different size, but the same one nontheless. and it is workin gout just fine for him. No warping or twisting or bends in the metal. I may be wrong but 304 stainless is 304 stainless, pretty stout stuff.

But maybe you need customer testimonials. I'll PM jekster and have him chime in on whether he is plaesed with it.
Cheers
