Have you tested this on a sanke? Just curious on how difficult it is? I’m going electric and would like to test the waters of this process for when I upgrade kettles.

I use the 1/2inch npt pull through fittings on my gas fired hlt. I've had no problems.Is anyone using this type of connection for gas-fired systems? Or just electric? I know the surface heat on the pot is a heck of a lot higher with gas, but with a full kettle, not sure if it would be enough to mess with the solder joint.

Never thought I'd say this about another mans dimples, but that looks nice.My first go at it, took a little fussing with to get the solder just right.

FYI it takes four wraps of 1/16" solder to fill the dimple full. Probably not necessary but that's how I did this one.

Looks like you dimpled from the inside, and then re-inserted the ferrule from the outside. Good job!!
Friday if I'm lucky or early next week.These are out of stock right now..you got an eta when you will have more in?

Any update on the 2". I recently installed 1/2" in my mashtun and could not be happier. Looking forward to updating my bk and would prefer a 2"tc for my element for wiggle room.I do have a 2" prototype but I haven't tried it on enough pot configurations to be production ready

Thanks for the update!I have the tool parts in 2" TC now. The only thing I'm still tracking down is a large enough fender washer to nicely cover the 2" flange. After that, figure out how to make sense of all the different combinations. People that have the old 1/2" tool that want to upgrade to the 2" TC; people that have the 1.5TC tool and want to upgrade to 2"; etc, etc, etc. Give me maybe a week.
Is the spud not sitting flush due to curvature.?anyone have advice on how to fix a mistake I made... I have all 1/2" fittings and made the hole in my kettle too large.. it's 1.0625 (1/16")
I tried using a welding spud but wasn't able to achieve enough surface area or something and I couldn't get it to seal properly. I've done it twice. Now I'm wondering if I should use a triclamp and step down to 1/2".. Might be a better idea to just buy a new kettle at this point
Right. Haven't been able get enough of a mechanical connection to take the abuse of tightening a fitting. Cracks every time.Is the spud not sitting flush due to curvature.?
