For the life of me I cannot find the thread on how to wire a cord to a 1500 watt heating element.

For a three prong cord what do I do with the ground wire? I know the other two go on either of the posts but how do I deal with the ground?
 
It depends on what you're wiring. If you're making a heat stick it'll be grounded to the metal tail piece.
 
Good deal and thanks! I will ground it to the kettle then as that is where the element is sticking through...you guys have been a great help and I am endebted to you!

Going to go do that right now and test out my HLT with a full on test!
