Hi Matt,
Don't laugh. :lol: ..I use a handled Mason jar coffee mug and it works fine. A pint metal pitcher will work as well for fancy work. Fill it about half full as you will have plenty of expansion. After a while your ear will tell you the sound of 145°F. Tilting does not seem to affect the quality.
I moved my wand a bit to the outside to get at it better.
YMMV
Cheers

You can buy RB pistons from some of our suppliers or RB hisself! 49.5 seems to be a good number!
