Need Funnel Source SS or Aluminum

1 1/2 Pounder Posts: 4226 Joined: June 27, 2007	Does anyone know where to get Funnels? Ideally Aluminum, but SS or regular Steel would be fine. Price and dimensions are very important. Thickness doesn't really matter just as long as it's not flimsy. \|----\| 6" to 8" upper diameter \|----\| -\--/ 2" to 3" lower opening CHAD Roaster: CoffeeAir II 2# DIY air roaster Grinder: Vintage Grindmaster 500 Brewers: Vintage Cory DCU DCL, Aeropress, Press, Osaka Titanium pourover

1 1/2 Pounder Posts: 4226 Joined: June 27, 2007	I was hoping to find a 6" x 2.5" aluminum pipe reducer (if there is such a thing) for cheap. I've made several with aluminum flashing, but wanted one with just a bit more structural oomph. "best" I've found so far are 6" canning funnels, but that's not exactly the shape I'd hoped for. -->6" CANNING FUNNEL<-- CHAD seedlings attached the following image: Roaster: CoffeeAir II 2# DIY air roaster Grinder: Vintage Grindmaster 500 Brewers: Vintage Cory DCU DCL, Aeropress, Press, Osaka Titanium pourover
