My single-tier HERMs uses a controller for monitoring MLT temperatures through a thermowell in the lid. When the mash temperature drops, a pump is turned on for HLT recirculation. This setup works pretty well for maintaining MLT temperatures. However, I'm using propane in my current setup and find that the HLT loses temperature quicker than I'd like.
I'm debating on modifying my configuration to use a small heating element in addition to my burner. The burner would be used for reaching strike temperature, whereas the heating element would maintain temperature.
Does anyone have experience with using a heating element in combination with a burner? If so, how well does it work and how do you prevent the element cord from getting to hot?
Here's a link to the heating element I've been considering.
1500 WATT or 1800 WATT
Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated, thanks.
