I have a 5500 Camco element in my converted keg HLT, and noticed that when I add my strike water once it's come to temp, the initial gallon or so is as much as 20 degrees cooler. After taking some temp readings in and around the element, I've come to learn that the water directly under the burner (the element sits about 2-3" from the bottom of the HLT) stays much cooler while the heated water rises.
I'm going to experiment with letting the HLT stay "at temp" for some periods of time to see if the water mixes, but wanted to see if anyone else has seen this happen. Maybe I should bend the element so it runs lower along the bottom of the HLT.
