So...I just bought a Chugger Pump. I currently brew with a propane powered Keggle and a picnic cooler. I have started to recirculate the mash and to back fill my kettle (I am slowly converting to electric). I like all of this very much. On the inside of my kettle I have a Bazooka Tube on a female thread. I just read for the 1000th time that someone WHIRLPOOLED at the end of the boil, and I realized... IF I DID THAT, I WOULDNT HAVE TO STIR MY POT DURING THE CHILL!
If I change out my Bazooka tube for a stainless elbow...What am I going to lose

How are you going to feed the pump?

You wont' lose anything in my opinion. You are only filtering out hops with the bazooka anyway. If you whirlpool you will be separating out hops and the hot break as well. Besides, you aren't out much if it doesn't work out for you.
