Electric brewing novice here, please forgive my lack of knowledge. I'm looking to brew larger batches than the 35L Robobrew will allow, so I'm exploring budget friendly alternatives. I'd like to install this element in a 15 gallon kettle, is it absolutely necessary to have a controller?

My plan is to simply plug it in to heat strike water and/or bring wort to boil. No need for temp sensors, step mashing, maintaining mash temps, etc.
Aside from the tools needed to drill/punch a hole in my kettle, what other parts are needed?
I'm thinking a gfci adapter for a 240v outlet, a 240v extension cable, and this enclosure:

Surely there's something I'm overlooking, could it really be this simple?
Thanks!!
