Hi Guys
My current boiler is giving me all sorts of grief - the element keeps on cutting out (I blame Ian for cleaning it so well, the shock did the poor thing in).
Any ways - myself & Ian have decided that a boiler would be a good DIY project. We are thinking of trying to get a nordic 50 or 70 ltr stock pot (If they ever post one again), drill and fit a couple of elements (the current one element is just too slow), and maybe we'll clad the thing in camping mat.
It would be nice to have something shiney, but the double element, extra capacity and the sturdy handles will make a real difference (moving one of those plastic boilers is not for the faint hearted).
Just wondered if any of you guys had any thoughts, advice, experience, project web diaries etc you could share...
I had started thinking a thermo box might be good, but that double skin thing worries me, I'll be luck not to stuff up with just a single skin pot!
Cheers & ttfn benm
