I am planning to dump my heatstick due to lack of food safety (mine has chrome and PVC) and plan to install elements directly in my BK and HLT instead.
I do not have enough power to run both at the same time, so I'd like to find a switch that allows me to have either "left side on," "right side on," or "off." Something like this:
Does such a thing exist? One alternative I've considered is to use two 3-way pole switches, one which controls master power and another which controls left and right power. The only problem with that is it would be pretty easy to flip power to the wrong element and run one dry.
Also, on an unrelated note, are most water heater elements chrome-plated stainless or is it easy to find one that is 100% SS? Looks like most of the Camcos on Amazon, such as this one, are chrome plated.
