Well, I tried to find a cheaper alternative but the metal option was over $40 to extend each leg by 24". I did not feel like spending more on leg extensions than I did on the entire burner so I looked for another way to do it.
I found pvc while walking through various aisles at HD for less than $10 total and decided to give it a shot. I know that PVC melts, duh but I was not sure if my legs on my burner would get hot enough to cause significant damage to the pvc.
What do you think? Does PVC degrade over time and should I not even bother? I did a 20 minute trial run and it seems to hold up pretty well but I wonder how this will work after 10, 20, etc boils.
Any pvc experts out there that can help me out? Anyone who has some better alternatives? Maybe a way to insulate the hot legs from the pvc?
