I've decided to add a second element because...well, I want it.

Question: The second element will be a couple inches above the first; but, where is the desired position as an offset?

I was thinking maybe 20 - 30 degrees to facilitate a nice rolling boil. But really, the second element is just for rapidly getting to target temp/boil. So, dunno.

Do you have any experience with this?

Thanks!
 
I don't think it matters much. As long as you're getting the energy into the wort, the placement of the elements relative to each other shouldn't make a difference.

Engineers, please feel free to correct me.
