This got rid of my drips. Filled a stainless nipple with lead. Threaded it to fit the handle. Old weight propped on the handle just for comparison.

Good idea. I may try that myself. Do you get any type of heat transfer to the new handle at all?

BoBo ,It is like the old one just a little heavier. Not hot or even warm. Takes a little getting use to the extra weight. I posted on another thread about getting rid of drips and I also drained the pot and lapped in the pouring rod tip to the pot orifice with a cordless drill very slowly. Works great now after 2 months.
I modded my pot also
I have the 20 lb pot
I replaced the wooden Handel with a metal weight and removed the flow screw and added a weight to the top of the rod to adjust the flow now I raise and lower the weight and this stopped a lot of my drips and if it does drip I can turn the rod by hand to take care of it it works great I get burned a lot less now
Also my pot sets on a little wooden stand (2" high) I made for it I drilled a hole in the bottom plate and in the top of the stand were a drip would hit and under the stand is a aluminum plate if it does drip it don't splatter anymore

Great idea making a riser so drips go below and spatter is contained.Quote:
