Hi!
I have the 40 litre Buffalo, but mine is a slightly older model - the newer ones are different.
I have modified mine so that it can maintain a rolling boil. Many members who use this boiler have reported cut-outs during the boil without modifications.

thanks for the reply bigcol49 mine is the new version I've modified it by disconnecting the temperature probe just did a trial run and seems to be keeping a constant boil I did notice that when removing the base plate one of the screws was no ordinary screw it was a very small triangular shape which probably needs a special tool I think the manufacturer is trying make it hard for us I had to dig deep into the tool box to find a suitable implement anyway the big test will be Friday when I attempt to do my first ag biab fingers crossed

Hi Chris yes they are security screws used by manufacturers and come in many different shapes. You can get a small box of these screwdriver bits on ebay to open many different electrical items. Only to be used by competent people hence the security screw in the first place

does competent mean you can use a screw driver
