They may not last forever, but are inexpensive to replace. Sounds like you got good service out of yours.

Odd you should mention that. My 10lb pot gave up the ghost daybefore yesterday. It was the one I use for casting for my B/P stuff (have a 20lb also) It developed a leak around the base of the pour spout. As with yours, mine was around the same vintage. Guess they just dont make things like they use to.  :D
Oh well, gonna get another 20 pounder as am doing a lot more B/p shooting and casting for the kids and a couple friends.
