  I would love to give it a shot, Cleveland isn't far from me at all....my only problem is I am
  not setup for electric at all. I am thinking about building a nice rig and electric is the
  way'd I go.We c...

  +1 on aquarium sealant. A lot of caulks are mildew resistant and that stuff is probably
  poisonous. I looked at a GE Silicone II MSDS a few years back and decided it wasn't good for
  contact with food.

  Actually, look around for some better 555 circuits. That one doesn't seem well suited for this
  purpose. I would expect you want to drive the ssr with pin 3.

  Most SSRs will only turn on at the start of a half-cycle, so pulsing it with such a high
  frequency will not be useful. Keep the frequency around 1 Hz instead. Dan

  guessing you didn't see my post above yours.Well how long does it need to be to reach through
  the tee? Not everyone uses a sight glass. Having too long of a probe means it either interferes
  with the I...

  Why do you need 6" probes? Just curious. I hate my 6" probe in the boil kettle cuz it gets in
  the way of the IC.Exactly. Why would it need to stick in more than an inch or two? (Um...I'd
  rephrase that...

  Keep the water temperature below 180 in those plastic coolers and you should be fine. The end
  of the element by the fitting is not very much hotter than the water itself.

  Hey, I am going to be unable to demo this in January... I am going to school.No problem, keep
  in touch.Dan

• Posted in thread: using a hole saw to drill a pot on 12-06-2009 at 09:31 PM
  cool. that being said, if i'm drilling a hole for a 1" water heater element, should i drill a
  1" hole? or a 15/16 hole and dremel it out until the element just fits to make it more
  water-tight?Unless ...

  Assuming you shield the wires from the flame are you sure you have 240 available? That's not
  terribly common with 3-phase. If you have 208 that works but your 5500 watts becomes 4100
  watts. If you hav...
