5500W Heating Element, how do I install it?

The Pol · Nov 26, 2008

Looking to those who HAVE installed a water heater element in thier BK. I cannot go from the bottom up, as the element will protrude from the liquid since I only brew 5 gal. batches.
How are some of you installing these things from the sides?

The Pol · Nov 26, 2008

Nevermind, found an answer after all!

now you have my interest, what did you find?

Gonefishing · Nov 26, 2008

yeah...please do tell

NikolausXX · Nov 26, 2008

Also interested, any links?

You tease.

I'm interested

dead thread, Pol is no longer on the forum. You can see his rig though in the "Show us your rig/sculpture" thread. Towards the very end. It's the shiny one that looks like it belongs indoors. He went with a weldless option from bargainfittings.com using this kit

I wonder why Pol's not around anymore.....maybe he got burned out on brewing?

IrregularPulse · Jun 17, 2010

It was mentioned that he didn't like the criticism and essentially "took his ball and went home".

I don't know what the real story was.

Who would criticize that rig?

THAT is about as close to the truth as we can get and stay nice. Good.

Damn. I always liked the guy.

IrregularPulse · Jun 17, 2010

I liked him too and started my current build based on his original cooler setup. I missed the whole thing when he left, but just heard others talking.

I think this thread could be closed since the info need from it is now posted and to prevent any possible opening of old "wounds".

I can't get over how "furniture-like" that brew system is. The glass doors make it.

It's an awesome sight to behold. Pol, we miss ya man!
