Bascom had the price for 9 inch at $445, he had the 12 inch in his truck for the CT meeting Saturday, but we did not get a chance to see it. I was interested to see if it appeared well made, as there are upsides to a quality made unit versus a DIY from stock pots. The Canadian unit does not list a 9 inch, not sure how much shipping would be. a 12 inch would be too big for my needs at moment.
