Any reason NOT to use HD in the HLT? It is half the price for a 5500w HD. All I can think of is I heard you could dry fire an ELD. That worth $15 to most? I am getting ELD for the BK, was just thinking about saving $ for the HLT.
HD for HLT, ELD for BK

i have an LD for my hlt with no issues
That would be worth it to me, and that's what I'm buying for both my BK and HLT. What's $15 when it comes to not having to replace the element every time you forget to turn it off while draining the tun? Cheap insurance in my book.

I have ULWD (ultra low watt density) elements. They are the 5500W Camco ripple elements. Has anyone verified they can be dry fired? How long?

I had two ULD 1,500 watt that alternated off 120 volt buried in sand with a piazza stone on top in the Iguana cage. This worked for over 7 years without any elements burning out.
