Sigh, it went higher in the oven, but even with a rolling boil in the potatoes it wouldn't go above 200, I'm so confused. But either way, I guess I never got it rolling enough anyway.

In the process of double checking by putting the thermometer in the oven, then if needed I'll go get a new one tomorrow and try again.

Ok, so I'm making dinner now, and boiling a small pot of potatoes, so I tried my thermometer in there, wondering if it's accurate, and it still won't get over 200 even though it's clearly boiling away even with potatoes in it. So the issue might be my thermometer actually. It came with the...

After starting it around 3.5, it definitely boiled down to 3 eventually and still wouldn't get there. I have a gas stove and really couldn't see it not boiling that, which is why I asked if maybe it's the pot itself and stainless could somehow keep the heat inside better or something. I...

New test: I took the grate over the burner off, and put it directly down onto the stove base, see if that will distribute it a little better. I doubt it, but worth a shot. Edit: Seems like that made it a little worse. I guess it's time to google how to make a heatstick or buy a new stove, lol.

I tried 3.5, and it's still not working, and it might be down to 3 at this point.

How big were those 2 pots? You think even though this won't do 3.5 it might do 2.5? Then add one more, or have to get 2 smaller ones?

I just got all my equipment today, super excited initally. I decided to test out the pot and see if my stove can get a rolling boil on 5gal. I have no way to do this outside with propane or anything, I live in a condo. I got a 30qt aluminum turkey fryer to use. Measured out 5.5g to give it...

Good call on that link. I guess after looking at so many I forgot it had an autosiphon with it too. Which just seems like it'll make things a bit easier. Plus a lil cheaper. Looks like a good choice. Any thoughts on having two 5gal pots? Also found this one, and I have a $20 credit on...

I know, search, and I have, but a lot of results are older, and I've browsed a ton of sites. I was just hoping for some specific opinions. I'm looking for the best bang for my buck as far as a starter set that is big enough to grow into. This seems to be one of the better deals I've found...
