Best Way to Plug Yer Hole?

[cyanmonkey]

Made some holes in a pot that I don't want hole'd anymore. What's the easiest way for me to plug it? I tried the Blichmann Brewmometer plug thingy from AIH thinking it'd work with any kettle, but alas that's not the case.

What size are the holes?

What about brazing on a triclover fitting from Bobby and using a triclover cap

have this same problem. started brewing with an old aluminum turkey fryer. I have since upgraded to ss. So now i have a spout and thermometer holes in it. Would like to plug em and use it as a turkey fryer again

I think they're 5/8"? Used a step drill to fit 1/2" fittings.

There's gotta be something cheaper if thing. I don't have equipment to braze. I have oxygen, but it's for aerating wort, unfortunately.

Eh?

I looked at that and realized I'm $15 per hole and it looks goofy sticking out like that. I wonder if I can find a bigger ss nut and bolt?
