New Presto Pots

I use mine mostly for hand pour molds.

Bryan - where are you locating the hole/valve?  I tapped one of my two prestos near bottom corner (on side) and find the brass valve just never gets hot enough to pour easily unless I totally open the valve.  Should I have tapped it closer to the heating element?

I drill the hole between the element and the outside edge of the pot.   I also take the element out of a hot glue gun and adapt it to the outlet of the spout.  It keeps the nozzle clear all the time.

Thx.... figured the location I put it was too far away from element.

The glue gun part... are you wiring that element as well?  Or just using the tip threaded into the valve?
