Is there a plug for the spout? After I'm done using it, i'd like to keep any leftover oil from dripping.

No there is no drain plug, but you would have to fill it almost to the top to have any oil leak out. The normal oil change is about 5 quarts, and that won't get that high.

No there is no cap or cover. This pan is not intended to store used oil. It's intended to catch the oil when drained and then transfer the oil to an appropriate seal-able container. I recommend wiping it out following each use to avoid drips and spills due to residual oil. Note that this is a large pan and is suitable for diesel trucks which drain about four gallons of oil at a time.

No, What i do is stuff a rag or disposable shop towel in the spout so it absorbs the excess and keeps it from dripping. I have had no problems.

What I would do is take the drain plug to the hardware store and ask them. I have had trouble with leakage on some of my rain barrels at the spigot sight. I will never put in another spigot again, because of the leakage. I dip into the top or use a water pump.

It cones with a separate container of pump oil.Note: To pour the oil in the pump unscrew the large vent plug.

You can buy an oil with a lower viscosity, or you can do what I did and return the spout. I now have a wine cork as a stopper.

No separate well. Just add water and then add the oil to it. A separate well would be nice but is probably only offered in higher end models.

Hello,The screw is a "fat control". You can leave it in if you want the juices to simmer around what is being cooked, or take it out and it acts like a drain. Make sure you have a drip pan in place if you remove the plug.

there is a shut off on the end of the main spout. I would not buy this product, however, as its quality control in the assembly is not good.

The plug keeps the grease in the cup and out of the spout,when you're ready to pour pull out the plug and only the juices will go into the spout and the grease stays in the cup.

No. You first insert the red plug in the spout then pour your broth into the cup part. Then, wait for the fat to separate and rise to the top (it takes a few minutes and sticking the entire thing into the fridge speeds up the process). After the fat has risen to the top of the liquid, take the plug out of the spout. This will draw the liquid into the spout but not the fat. As you pour, the fat stays floating on the top of the liquid. It does seem a little strange to visualize, but once you buy the product and see it in person it makes sense.

No grill to catch drain plug or oil filter. There is a raised ledge toward the backside (handle-side) of the basin that I use to put the drain plug.

It does not come with a container or filter in the drain tube. Its a pretty slick design. I set the unit on the side of the sink and my container in the sink and drain the oil through a strainer. After cleaning the unit, I pour the oil back into the unit and store until the next time. I'll dump the oil after the second or third use.

Not really. It works surprisingly well. No dripping. You can control the rate at which oil comes out by changing the angle you hold the bottle. Since the spout is small, even the fastest rate is manageable.

If I remember correctly the spout came wrapped in plastic. Did you remove that. It does not pour. You have to suck like you would on a straw.

There is no convenient spout to drain the oil. In fact you first have to remove the immersion heating assembly by lifting it up and out, then lift out the removable pot containing the oil from the outer housing to be able to pour the oil out.

No. Even so, it has a tight fit. If you fill the vessel with oil and then push the lid down into its seat, you will get a squirt of oil out the spout. Just saying that it works that well with no plastic or rubber seal. Fill only about 2/3, and then put your finger over the spout as you carefully seat the lid. I like this product for its simplicity and good construction.

You pull up the plastic curlicue until the spigot pops out. But be very careful not to stretch the curlicue too much because it will break off. That's happened to me, but it's not a disaster because you can still pour the oil without the spigot. Good luck!

There is no cover over the lid spout. The lid goes on tightly though so as long as you aren't holding it upside down you aren't going to spill anything.
