So I have decided to take the plunge and go electric. I'm not really looking to go full automated but really just replace propane with electricity. After reading quite a bit of stuff it seems going with a 240V 5500W element is the prefered method of most.
I can't really find much on this basic of a setup. I am good with wiring although I do not have a ton of experience with residential wiring but I am friends with a licensed electrician. I've got a few questions for the experts out there.
Can I get away with only a 30amp breaker? My breaker box is literally 12" from the area where I plan to setup my kettle.
Will this kit cover all of the components I need for just the kettle (minus the element of course)?

Any tips or lessons learned you guys can share?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
