I'm trying to think of a simple build for an electric 220v boil kettle. I'd want 5500W or more to get the pot boiling, but less than that to keep the boil going. My thought is to put in two elements, 3000W or so each. Then have a switch inline on one of the elements to turn it off during the boil.
I can find 3000W elements but I didn't see them in the limelife sections, those can withstand dry firing. Maybe do a 2500W and 3500W element, using the 3500W to keep the boil going.
Any feedback on this idea is appreciated.
