Unless your planning on dooing sep funnel work at temps above 220C
Here was my first style of separatory funnel. I used these when just starting out and was delving into louching of extract out of alcohol with water. I had VERY humble beginnings in the art lol. A sep funnel sure made it easier but in a pinch it worked (mostly). 
I would just nip the corner with scissors when ready to drain.
