Still playing with my new toys and everything looks promising. But I do have a few questions (observations) from my test runs.

- I have yet to run an auto-tune on my 2352 PID, but I did do a boil/ice water test. I'm not sure if these are appropriate for an RTD but I figured what the hell. I set the Sv to 225F and let it go. The Pv maxed at 211F and dipped to 210F on an ocassion during a full boil. I then submerged the RTD in crushed ice and water for 15 mins. It held steady at 32F. Acceptable?
- I am seeing a LOT more steam than I ever did with a propane boil. Is this normal with an element? It could be just because I have the BK in the back of the garage now where it would normally be closer to the garage door. It could also be because I had a much mnore agressive boil than I would normally have. Just curious if anyone else has had teh same experience.
- I'm getting a slight odor from the water at mash temps and during the boil with the element that I can say I never had with propane. It's hard to describe...kinda metallic. Maybe due to the anode? Or is this just a by-product of the element. Any concerns?
