Irishman said:With that I'll be showing myself the door, wish you all the best in your brewing ventures.
homebrewer_99 said:I would worry about the heat of the flames coming up the side of the pot and setting the towel on fire...much like when fire crosses the road and set the trees ablaze even though the flames are 75 ft away...
I'm only concerned that you'll end up burning your place down...
Fingers said:You don't have to leave, Irishman, I think there is some merit to your idea. Others are discounting it, perhaps rightly so, because of the safety aspect. However, if someone were to wrap the pot in a non combustible material I think this might be a reasonable suggestion. I'm sure there must be materials that don't contain asbestos or MMMF that would do the trick.
Brush this one off, or better still, defend the position.
Fingers said:You need the pot uncovered to get rid of DME.
homebrewer_99 said:True, but a towel coming out of the dryer doesn't have a flame less than 2 feet away
Some idiot may not have read electric...and assumed it was safe for all stoves...Spyk'd said:Uhm, flames on an electric stove?
I'd be worried too if my electric stove gave off flames!

Good, I love happy endings. :cross:Dycokac said:I greatly appreciate this thread. I hadn't yet thought about insulating my brewpot and didn't think about the fire resistant insulation
