I am trying to figure out my dip tube situation. I have a 1/2 weldless bulkhead going through kettle. I was thinking of just adding a stainless elbow onto that inside and pointing down toward the bottom of the kettle. Then I'll probably add a very short nipple to the elbow to get me right down to the bottom of the kettle. It will be near the wall as well, since I'm elbowing right from my bulkhead.
Is there any reason this is inferior to doing a copper dip tube and bending it near the kettle wall? Seems my way is a lot simpler and probably a few bucks cheaper. I don't solder so the simplicity is a fairly large advantage. Who can talk me out of doing it this way?
