Keggles any good?

[jamursch]

I've an opportunity to get a keggle for doing 10 gallon batches and wondered what the general opinions were around them.
I am wondering if it's a good piece of equipment or if I should save for a more expensive larger pot?

Its a good piece of equipment, but they are starting to approach purpose made kettles.

I'm not sure what that means? In value or in price? The one is $175 and I thought its a great deal with a false bottom and everything.

in price.

My keggles cost me $225.00 ea, fitted with 2 weld-less fittings, 2 stainless ball valves (3 pc), site glass, thermometer and pickup tube. This includes the $75 cost for the keg from my local bar. I did the install myself. It is still way cheaper to build your own keggle vs buying a 15 gal stainless kettle outfitted with comparable parts. Plus it's cool and rewarding to build your own equipment.
