Reading around the rest of the thread I think there is some preference for the lower power version because the 2.5kw element caused some risk of boiling over. The 1.6kw heater is enough for a nice rolling boil without creating a volcano at the same time.I have been looking at these boilers on eBay and notice that some of them have a 1600w element rather than the 2400w that has been mentioned. Are these new ones less power for a reason? I would of thought the higher power ones would be better and quicker to bring to the boil?

Just finishing a Speckled Hen clone in mine today. 72% mash efficiency, OG came in spot on at 1050. Smashing piece of kit!

I remember driving through the Mont Blanc tunnel on my motorbike with my then 10 year old son on the back. Its a while ago - he is thirty-five now... :) We had been in Italy and were on our way back to meet my brother who was in Provence at the time. Happy days. What an adventure that was. The lad still talks about it -especially driving through the night on the way back from Paris with the wind and the roar of the single cylinder engine. It was a bloody 250cc bike as well - unbelieveable. We did 1750 miles with not a splutter. I changed the oil at the roadside though - did it every thousand miles religiously. Put it in a big bottle and dumped it in the trash. The only thing we did was adjust the chain.
5AM on the verge of the Autroute de Solie. We just stopped at night and lay down on the verge until first light.
Me and the Mrs went through the Mont Blanc tunnel many years ago on my Guzzi - it was blazing hot outside (120F in the shade) so we were just wearing t shirts and shorts and in the tunnel we were absolutely freezing.
Good times.:lol:

Jas I've got the 1600w, it seems perfectly fine. Produces a decent rolling boil and heats up pretty quickly (can't remember the time off the top of my head).
Has anyone posted this before. Looks like an amazing modification to me. Really like the look of this.

I'm finding it VERY hard to get anything out of the dialogue. The audio quality is a problem. Maybe it is my machine or something.
The idea looks great. Where does that recirculating pump come from? I got the bit about the Wickes fittings.
They look like nice mods.
