30ltr Burco Boiler, any good?

[mccrea1000]

Has anyone used the new 30 ltr Burco boiler with the concealed element? (http://www.brewuk.co.uk/store/ag-equipm ... oiler.html) If so can a good rolling boil be achieved? My Plastic Electrim boiler element cuts out and has caused me serious grief and wastage. Dont mind spending the money as long as I dont have same problem.

At a guess I'd say you'd need to remove the overheat safety cut-out to maintain a good rolling boil.

If your electrim bin is the same as mine it'll have the thermostat mounted on a metal plate above the socket, if you bend this away from the surface of the bin then it'll stop cutting out.

I just got one of these: linky
Which is the same as the one you listed but is listed on the burco website under the cygnet range.
It does a nice gentle roilling boil without cutting, not a mega vigorous but a rolling boil all the same and its 2/3rds the price with free delivery :)

To get a 22mm tank connector in it i had to dremmel the tap hole as its slotted for the tap so you carnt twist it. although im now going to replace the tank connector with a bulkhead fitting so i can fit a hop strainer properly.
