stuck sparge

Batch sparging is not necessarily a panacea here. 8 of us used the same mill on Learn to Brew Day, and I think everyone using a Bazooka/kettle screen ended up with a stuck mash and we were all batch sparging.
It's primarily the crush, as even with a very slow run off speed, if you've got a ton of flour in there it's going to clog up that screen. When I use my own mill, which I have adjusted by trial and stuck sparge, I never have a problem...thankfully.

Anybody using a SS hose braid?  I find those work much better than a Bazooka. 

I don't use it much (direct fired false bottom mash tun normally), but when I batch sparge with my cooler it is with a SS braid from a toilet/sink hose.  It's never stuck on me.

I have the same sort of set up as Tom. When I was using a rectangular cooler, I used a braided washing machine hose with SS wire spiraling inside it. I never, not even once, got a stuck sparge with it. Really the way to go on a rectangular cooler mash tun, IMO.
