Hi
I've been reading posts on here for a while but haven't posted anything yet. I was just wondering if anyone has any advice on adding elements to a stainless pot? So far I've been brewing on top of my cooker at home but I think I must be wasting a lot of gas because I can only get the 70L pot onto the cooker in such a way that means I have to lite all the hobs and half the flame from each hob is missing the pot (I've tried to upload a pic, not sure if it's worked though)
Any how, I've come across a coupe of elements that seem like they'd do the trick, they're available on homebrew shop websites but are quite expensive, but I've found what appear to be the same models a good bit cheaper on other non-brewing sites.

Does anyone have any experience of using either of these elements? I understand that sometimes you have to remove the "thermal cut out", I've found instructions on how to do this with different elements and it seems quite straight forward but would it be possible with either of these?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Rick
