Will this heating element work?

Post by phish_311_live »

Im looking at a 1000w Proctor-Silex 34101 Fifth Burner its a cheap like $20 burner ive found at several stores around here. Would this work ok for a 1 gallon still I am building. I was trying to get a lab hot burner off ebay but they were more than I wanted to spend. is the cycling going to be a problem?

Im thinking of 750w rather and current must flow continuously, Good luck and I hope you succeed!
