Another piece of equipment to convert my cooler into an efficientmash tun is a ball valve spigot. I need to replace the spigot that the cooler came with, which isnt made for long pours. My thumb knows too well.

There are many spigots that are made specifically for cooler conversions on NorthernBrewer.com. They are all under the heading of weldless so I should be able just to remove the factory-installed spigot and install the ball valve spigot.

The one I have my eye on has a half inch barb at the end of it so that I can attach tubing to the end of it. When transferring wort to my kettle, I would like to avoid as much hot side aeration as possible.

I think with the screen and the spigot (the screen attaches nicely to the spigot), I think my mash tun would be ready to go.
