Thanks to the OP, this design is great. I put mine together this weekend, and I'm happy with how it turned out. I used 50' or 3/8" copper, and kept the connections simple with silicone tubing and hose clamps. I've never built the traditional style IC so I can't compare the difficulty to...

Cool, thanks for the update.

Thanks, I am going to attach a sealed metal gang box to the end of the element, so it will be protected from any heat from the stove.

Have you done this setup and had problems with it? I'm basing my design off several others that I've seen posted here, and I haven't heard anything about potential problems between the element and heat from the stove.

Ha, no problem, this thread certainly veered off into left field. What element are you using in your pot? Any problems with it?

Thanks for confirming guys. I had put some thought into a two element setup, but decided to go stove assisted because its simple and cheap, and there's no need for a PID.

Bumping this up in the hopes that someone who has tested can comment whether it worked for mounting an element or not.

So, I've got the OK from SWAMBO to put together an e-kettle. I've been following different threads and builds on here for a little while, so I'm basing my designs on them. For reference; https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/stove-assisted-ekettle-293644/...

Thanks for posting your setup. Have you had any problems with the pvc cap on the backside of your element getting hot? How did you connect your ground wire?

Thanks for posting your setup! I'm looking to do build a similar stove-assisted e-kettle, is there anything that you would change about your design after using it for a while now? How long does it take to heat your water? I have 20amp outlets and breakers in my kitchen so I could go with a...
