Not just yet Jeff. I think I'll keep it around for a while. We only have one other TK. It's a Wagner. Weighs a ton. This ERIE is light in comparison.

I'm not sure what kind of plating is on this thing. The book lists 3 different coatings. Any info would be great. Thanks

I just used the set-up I mentioned above. It was still a little crusty inside, and took some scrubbing. Doesn't look the best. I may dunk it again. There is still some scale in the corners. I want to use a bigger anode next time. Electro has worked in the past on scale like this. I guess I got a little impatient, and pulled it out of the tank early. I was a little concerned that the plating was coming off though. The anode inside the kettle is the way to go. Of course, just be sure it doesn't touch.
