Anyway to safely heat a keggle inside?

I have a 15.5 gallon keggle which I usually use outside on a propane burner. Obviously, I can't do that indoors. I have a 4' x 4' footprint I can put a heat source in (would prefer electric) in my basement.

My brewing life would become ten times easier if I can get this set up, but I would like to use the keggle for all grain batches.

Anyway to safely and efficiently (or quickly) heat it indoors?

look into building a couple of heatsticks and go electric. Friend of mine sent me this link last week. http://www.3d0g.net/brewing/heatstick seems fairly easy of a build. I would not use a flame of any sort indoors, just to many risks.

Check out the electrical brewning sub forum.

If you can get some 30amp lines ran to where you need them and install some heating elements into the pots you're half way there. Only thing left to do is deal with venting the water vapor so you don't turn your basement into mold central.

Yeah, I'm not seeing it feasible any time soon.

I too have keggles and I'm running my system off of NG. I just hung my exhaust hood waiting for my wall cap to show up so I can connect this monster to the outside and test my gas line for any leaks. Then it will be time to test the burners. Can't wait!!!
