Thanks for the offered help, I am at the moment trying to make a 75 litre
processor.The stainless kettle element you bought for your first processor
how did you rig up a therostat to it was it quite easy?
P-S I am in Lancs are you any where near?
Regards
Mark

Hi Mark,
How big is your processor?
I made my first 15 litre processor using a stainless kettle element, bought
from a local electical store for just £4.50. It is still working fine after
a year.
I am now using a 150 litre processor that is heated by hot water from a
home
made gas boiler. The long term plan is to convert the boiler to run on a
mixture of glycerol and bio heating oil, but I am not there yet.
If you need help sourcing stuff locally, I will help wherever I can
Regards
Bob
