Once upon a time I dreamt up what I thought would be an excellent propane/electric herms hybrid system. 2 burners and a 110v water heater element. Plan was to maintain HLT temp with the water heater element, use one burner to quickly heat up HLT water initially, and use the 2nd burner for the boil kettle.
After a lengthy drawn out build, my system is now close to what I initially envisioned. Unfortunately my engineering calculations weren't perfect and my puny little 1500W element is not adequate with large volumes of water. I knew it wouldn't make large temperature changes, but it also doesn't maintain temperature as I expected.
I now am hoping I can draw on the knowledge of this group to help add an automated electronic ignition system to my HLT burner. I've done a lot of research and just keep getting more and more confused.
Does anyone have a parts list/picture of an installation that uses a 110v ignition system tied into a PID? I already have an ASCO solenoid installed for the gas to the HLT burner. I just need help in specing out the equipment necessary to light the burner automatically.
Thanks in advance.
