Nice one, it was starting to look like they'd finished up doing them, probably just waiting for a shipment :party:

 

[Aleman]

Yeah, We had probably cleared them out the last time they had some in :) I got 4 (2 24.5L and 2 38.5L) from the last lot . . . Soon to be converted :clap:

 

[Vossy1]

Their supplier was probably tied up with that birds nest thingy stadium...

looks like the stadium has as many holes as the pots :lol: :lol: :lol:

EDIT....they're pretty good pots really

Not as many holes as when you're finished with them Vos :lol: :lol:

A very good point :lol:

All I can see are the Thermo boxes. How easy are they to convert to a mash tun?
Is it the usual larger hole cut on the outside, and a smaller one to fit your connector on the inside?

 

[Vossy1]

The smaller thermoboxes come with a tap fitted and if you don't like it you can just replace it.
The larger TB's have no tap and require drilling.

My TB is 70L and came with a tap, is 70 L small The tap is a piece of **** and there's no way you could trust it to do any job.

Tiny ...hardly worth bothering with :lol:

 

[Frisp]

So how hard is it to replace the **** tap

Very, very easy by all accounts...over to you AT

 

[Frisp]

do these things keep a Mash nice and steady, heatwise. Ir are they just shiney picnic boxes?

 

[Vossy1]

Pre heated, they lose less than a degree per hour by all accounts, which is pretty good.

Has the **** just dropped out of the market http ://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=200246966814&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=010

 

[Vossy1]

You bugger...I was hoping the 80 ltr jobbies would be reduced :lol:

 

[jonnybeer]

Just wondering, who else but us would buy these? What other use is there for them, I could understand it if they were rectangular, would make it easier for packing things in but round, must only be for liquid eh.

j.b.

edit, just thinking of the thermo's without a tap

 

[Vossy1]

Just think of them as giant soup bowls that stay warm
Used by third party hospitality services to transport warm liquids, soups, stews etc, to events or dinners.

 

[Dunfie]

I got one of the 50l bain maries and it is fantastic. As Vossy says it only loses around a degree per hour.

 

[Kingfisher]

Did that come with a valve fitted Dunfie? It looks like you replaced the original. V1's mod comes from the bottom and outlets under the lockformed section.
