grain filtration vs electric element burnout

[Danny]

I have an electric 30 gallon water heater with a single 2000 w element. Can anyone tell me if after passing a grain mash through a coffee filter paper filtration that the result would be sufficiently clear for distillation without electric element burnout?
That's the key question....what level of filtration is necessary for electric element boiling/ distillation without element burnout....

I filter through rough wire filter and then a finer filter,Wait a day or two then drain the top mash off, leaving the past like bottom to clear more, add it then . distill with no problem, no burns. coffee filter is probably too fine it will clog up too soon

if leave it set awhile all the grain etc will fall to the bottom,stirring/degassing will help.then just rack/siphon off.
