After doing some searching and reading. I decided that I would build my own mash tun instead of buying.
Pretty easy build. Knocked it out in about 10-15 mins.
Started with a 60L HDPE barrel

Cut the top off and put a 1/2" SS nipple through the bottom.

Then I made up a drain tube out of a 3/4" socket, some SS wire screen, a 1" plug and two hose clamps.

Connected it to the nipple.

And put a 1/2" ball valve on the out side with a hose barb.

One day I may get round to insulating it better. But for now it holds heat pretty well. And I can wrap a spare duvet around it.
