Me and my Brewing mates are thinking of switching to BIAB over winter, and we're in the process of looking at pots to convert. I'm thinking electric element in a cool box will be best - am I right in thinking this is possible? I think I read it on here somewhere.
Anyway, assuming it is (I may be looking like a bit of an **** right now if it isn't...) would this be suitable?

It has a side drain built in, it's large enough and with the lid on should preserve a lot of heat, saving on the electric bills (which have just gone up of course! :x ).
Next question, will 2 kettle elements be enough? I've been looking for cheapo kettles, and they are cheap, but they are all cordless these days. Isn't that a pain in the bum to wire? What about the problems with cutting through the side of the box? Is there some way you can just drop the element in?
Sorry to ask such a random bunch of questions - we started brewing to make cheap beer, and buying this load of kit to (potentially) cut it to bits and ruin it isn't a cheap way of doing things!!
Thanks!
