Hey all.
I just (re)built my ebiab pot, and this time around when tightening the lock nut for the heating element, I noticed gouging in the kettle wall.
This happened the first time as well, but I went with a smaller pot this time, so I assume the curve of the pot is more aggressive. I'm just a little surprised at how deep of a gouge this lock nut dug out of the wall.
Anyone else have a similar issue? Any idea how to prevent this next time around? I'm just not really happy with making already thin walls even thinner. When I saw it, I honestly thought I ruined the kettle.
I really really had to crank it down...everyone else did too, right?
