Bayou Classic 1160 62-Quart - How much space under basket?

[Twang]

I've been searching but have had no luck finding an answer. Can someone tell me how many inches are below the basket? I plan on using the basket in my BIAB setup and want to make sure I can fit an element like Kal's Electric Brewery does it.

Kals and ebrewsupplys uses 2 gang boxes. From what I know, you have to use a single gang box with the element for these pots to place the element low enough to clear the basket. I don't have the exact measurement, but from others posting on this issue, this is how I understand it has to work for this setup if you are looking at eBIAB with this kettle.

My 1160 element sits about 2 3/4 inches off the bottom with the basket installed there is about 1/4 inch of clearance between element and basket....So I'd say 3 inches.

Update: Went downstairs to measure it sits exactly 3 1/8 inches off the bottom.

Or you could get one of these.Your only limited to the curve on the bottom of the pot.Got mine last week,stainless steel and 10 min hookup. https://www.brewhardware.com/product_p/ewl3.htm looks professional and no building
