G'day again.
had a bit of a win last night when i called into my local cricket club.
The Stokes urn that had been there for a few seasons was sitting outside so i gave the prez a call and he said it was buggered and could i chuck it in my skip.
Couldn't resist plugging it in cause it is in quite good nick.
Bingo,, felt a bit of warmth off the element so chuked some water in (15 litres)
Heating it up nice and quick.(think it was the tap that was buggered and these days they only need a kettle)
By my calcs it is 43 litre (335 diameter x 495 deep, good for a 12" false bottom due to exposed element) but i guess rated 40 litre.
Biggest problem is it is an auto model with no temp adjustment, i'm guessing it is set at boiling but i only had a dodgy meat thermometer so cant be one hundred per cent, just seems logical.
Because my elec tech knowledge is limited what piece of modification could i use so i could adjust for mash and boil?
Or is it not worth it and just have it on hand as a hlt and make another rig up for BIAB
