I have limited knowledge of wiring, so I likely wouldn't do the work myself (or if I did, I'd have it inspected by an electrical engineer), but I'm looking at a very simple electric conversion from a propane burner.
My setup is pretty basic at this point: a boil kettle and picnic cooler mash tun. My BK already has a themometer/sightglass which I'm more then comfortable using to heat mash water.
My ideal electric conversion involves a 240V dryer outlet connection, and a hot water element similar to Kal's electricbrewery.com style element build.
What I would like to have is a stove style (potentiometer?) dial on the element junction box where I could turn the element from 0 to max, similar to a propane regulator, then a GFCI at the 240V outlet.
Any potential issues with such a build? I'd appriciate any input from people that have a clue about electric.
