I think this should work but I wanted to double check before I go using my body to complete any circuits.
I'm going to make a hlt out of a 10g cooler with a 2000 watt heating element. I was planning on cutting a rectangular hole in the outside wall and remove the foam insulation in that rectangular hole and place a metal electrical box in that hole. So the element would be housed in that electrical box and I could attach the ground wire to that box.
It would be very similar to the Electric Brewery did it http://www.theelectricbrewery.com/heating-elements?page=7.
Of course I'm still going to use a GFI but will this setup keep me safe?
