I can't speak to the preformance, but the craftsmanship that went into it was stellar to say the least

thank you

Good post preacher man

I totally forgot that also. Thought it was better in both.

The linked thread did say it was for oxidation reasons though.

Lets see a 5 pound block of silver that probably weighed 10+ before cutting... yes you can recycle that silver but that is a process that costs money too

$352 US a pound of silver right now..

I would rather have a copper pot for not much more than a alum one

(copper currently is trading at 3.6 USD A pound...)

REALLY?! the difference it's HUGE!

but yeah...

BTW is the F1EE 100% copper?

The grade is high, but afaik there is no such thing as 100% anything. There's always impurities.

You could always get the F1 plated if you wanted some bling.

I'm still waiting for my F1 to come in. USPS, hurry the frack up.
