  My induction burner (Avantco IC3500) would not work with an external controller without
  modification. The unit needs to be powered up (i.e., you have to push the on/off button) if the
  power is disconn...

  I wired it Hot-Hot-Ground. My receptacle is wired into a sub-panel I put in myself, so I could

  I forgot to mention that I did stir before every temp reading. Yes, there is a lot of
  temperature stratification. About 10-15 deg differential throughout the kettle. I usually use a
  pump to recirculat...

  The burner was set at 3500W for the test whereas subsequently I found that I can bring 6.5 gal

  If anyone is interested, I collected data on the temp rise vs time with both the 15 gal mega
  pot and the 9 gal bayou classic. I can post it. The temperature rise is very impressive. Now,
  if anyone is ...

  The problem that I see with the mega pot is the dimensions. It's on the order of 18" wide

  Mine is the Avantco IC3500. I did a lot of research and this one was the biggest bang for the
  buck. I'm quite happy with it. One note however: the burner size is 8 1/2". So the larger
