New all grain setup

[venerablejordan]

So I have really enjoyed extract brewing up to this point, but I really want to move into all grain. I have been looking on the net for awhile and it seems something like this http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/...xe-ags/deluxe-all-grain-system-10-gallon.html may be my best option. I know the coolers do not hold temperature as well as a high priced setup, does anyone have experience using these?

Thanks!

The coolers are fine. You just need 1 to do your batch/sparge. The other is designed to hold your hot water for fly sparging.

In reality I'd look for 1 10-gallon cooler and a nice 10-gallon pot to heat your sparge/mash water and to boil. Add some weldless valves to your pot and a new thermometer and you have a nice setup. 2 coolers are not really necessary if you're batch sparging.
