I did think about that, but was concerned it might affect it's ability to hold a mash temp. With the new thermostat I can select a temp between 39C and 93C using the dial. Let me know how you get on, though!

For anyone who catches this in google later: the 55.13022.010 thermostat fit perfectly and the boiler now holds an energetic rolling boil on "High". Am trying to sell the original thermostat on eBay as a spare to defray the cost.

The thermostat is labelled "55.13022.670 105C 1723 56". I can see a load of 55.13022.010 (and also 55.18022.010) thermostats online that look very similar and are rated to 110C instead of 105... they look like one might be the trick for me. The thermal fuse I can't even see (if there is one)...

Mastic inside and out, or just outside? Hmm, I'll have to look into that. Any recommended solutions that don't involve me wiring up an entire solution in a plastic box like in this thread?

Hi folks, I've got two issues with my new Buffalo boiler. 1) Weldless sight glass kit is leaking at any tightness. I ended up drilling the hole at 9/16" as it wasn't going through comfortably at 1/2", though in retrospect if I had deburred the other side of the hole first I might not have had...
