Thank you Herman & Ira. I had an intermatic mechanical timer and that's the one that went bad. One of the forks seems to have burned a bit so there's no saving it I think. I picked up a lower wattage (1250 i think) cheap GE mechanical timer - the only one my local store had in stock - and that's working for now. I'll likely move to a digital intermatic (dt620 or newer model if available) at some point.
It's good to know that only one of those 975 watt burners run at a time. On Friday, January 9, 2015 at 7:40:34 AM UTC-5, Alan278 wrote: > > HI > What appliance timer should I get for the Brewtus 2?
