Currently I do BIAB with my partial mashes in 6 gal stockpot and attempt to maintain temperature with direct heat from a stove burner. What I've found with this method is that I get very uneven temperature distributions, the temp near the bottom being dangerously high for enzyme activity and the temp near the top being much lower than optimal, even with lots of stirring. I looked into converting an igloo cooler but I don't have the equipment to do so. My question is if I got a bag big enough to occupy the entire volume of the cooler, could I still BIAB and drain the cooler through the unmodified spigot?
This is the cooler I'm looking at

I was thinking cylindrical because square/rectangular are prone to hot spots in the corners...right?
