Just curious. I recently completed my ekettle build and have been testing it with water. I noticed the heat sink gets pretty hot. I have a 120v 2000w element in a turkey fryer kettle. Got one of the cheap eBay SSR and heat sink combos.
The heat sink is mounted outside the enclosure. Very similar to jkarp's counter top brutus control panel. I put the tip of my thermopen on it and it read 132 degrees and climbing. Just wasn't sure if this was normal.
