I'm sure that this has been discussed, but I can't seem to find anything with a search.
Is it advisable to use temperature controls from an electric cooktop to control the heating elements? It looks like the round 8" burner elements are 2600 watts, so it seems to me that if you stayed in that range per element in the HLT & BK that it should work just fine.
I ask this because I have a nice cooktop sitting in my attic that I can rob for parts, so it would only cost me for the new elements and wiring. What am I missing here?
