Awesome!!

we’ve had tell of it in the bucket with the pipe bomb…

@cyclopath

Unless that bucket heater, and more importantly it’s thermostat are appropriately sealed, they are an ignition source and shouldn’t be anywhere near your collection pots.

If you’re running 4 or 5 pots a day, you ought be playing safety like a professional.

You can build a circulating hot water heater for under $200 using parts sourced at home despot. 1500W element & thermostat. $50 in Black pipe fittings for the boiler (just big enough for the element). Hot water recirc pump. 50-100ft of pex or heater hose so your source of ignition can be stored at a safe distance.

agreed!!

@cyclopath

my first “sous vide” was a water heater element in black pipe with a standard water heater thermostat. 50ft of 3/4" heater hose let me put it at a safe distance. used an old keggle as the “hot pot”.

I’ve got pictures of it after I put a real thermostat on it around here somewhere…the OEM one had way too much hysteresis.
