I'd love to go to electric to better control mash temps but 240v isn't a strong option right now, and I don't particularly like the idea of having 2 elements, for what ever reason (probably just don't want to run too many extensions cords to where I brew).
I'm curious if others have used electric for mash and propane for boiling, and what type of experience they've had with this set-up. One worry that I have is the cord getting too hot with heat coming up and around the pot from the propane burner. I would have to use a heat shield for this, but any other pratfalls to be concerned with?
I usually boil between 7 and 9 gallons of water and do BIAB with a false bottom.
