Screw this! (propane)

Ok. You made me look.

Besides, youre the only person I know who can be in 3 places at once, youd make a great mod.

Split personality.

Look who's talking you Chicago Icelandic wannabe.

I live in a fold in the time/space continuum. Its a special place. My mommy always told me I was special.

Here's a shot of my place...

I would assume that's off the grid.

It is from his work with the nukes. Splitting atoms/split personality/split location, all the same.

T-Pee, someone should whack YOUR pee pee. 200+ posts and you ain't 'lectric yet?

I bet you have to have 2 bicycles to run that lectric 60 amp stillin/brewery pot. I never understood how you got those bicycles petaled and then do the rest of the stillin. Now I know you have 2 fit assistants for cyclin for you. Good job!

+1 Only I aint doin the whackin, maybe we can get baked to do it, he'll do anything. Hey Mikey....

[heartcut]

Is this the liar's bench?

[Jimbo]

No this is screw propane land. BTW, I tried it, got frostbite on my peepee. I really dont understand the appeal.

[S-Cackalacky]

Is this the liar's bench?

No, just killin' time waiting for the summer heat so T-Pee will be motivated to finally drill a hole in his keg for that heating element.

[heartcut]

Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after.

T_pee has been too busy watching Beavis and Butthead, Flying Circus and trying to figure out where Jimbos lives, to go out to the shop and get some work done.

How the devil did you know what I did for a career?? Seriously.

Actually, I pulled the trigger on some e-goodies last night after my post with the pros an' cons. My whole way of doing things in general has always revolved around versatility and I realized after making that post I could have my cake and eat it too by simply adding an element setup in a boiler that is made from a badass copper water heater liner and already has a 1" threaded bung in place. A nice lady THAT LIVES NEAR ME even offered up a tap if I need to clean up the threads. It leaves it so that I could easily run it on propane again if I wanted to run a mash that hadn't cleared enough or sumpthin.

I ordered an analog 470k pot, 40 amp SSR, 5500 watt ULWD element and a digital volt/amp readout. The rest of the stuff like connectors, switches and indicator lights I can source locally if I don't already have them. A flowmeter for the RC is probably in the works too. I like the idea of being able to quantify the flow rate for the logbook.

So, thanks for the 8 pages of research you guys have done for me in this thread and all I had to do was bitch about being hot and sweaty!

Propane is great!
Heats all the liquor I make
Fuels my truck down the interstate
Ah ha Propane is great!
Bakes my wife's chocolate cake
Heats water for the shower
Even if it lasts an hour!
And it warms my home
So I don't need to roam
To warm my ass
I just take down a glass
And drink one to the gas
Cause Propane is great
Cooks all the whiskey I make.

[T-Pee]

And just where the hell have YOU been in all this?

For some odd reason I picture Flatwoods reciting his poem while dancing around outside the stillin' shack in a driving rain. Why is that?

[Jimbo]

Woods is a Poet.

But propane sucks. Long live electrons.

Electrons are great.
No fumes that make a head ache.
Theyre cheaper by far
Than that gas from afar
And heat without waste
Like flames that bake the whole place
Should you spring a leak
There's no flame to make still go bang
So electrons Ill keep
To make likker to help me sleep

[T-Pee]

There once was a stiller from Iceland
Whose run didn't go as he'd planned
He tried it with gas
And blew up his ass
Electric he now thought was just grand

tp

[Jimbo]

His name may not be Adam
But for certain he splits the atom.
His split personality
Inclines him to go by Shirley
As he bounces from Louisiana
To Texas and Santa Ana

[T-Pee]

So much for going OT. The mods are probably rolling their eyes by now but the membership is likely fair entertained.

Oh. Wait. We're all good. Jimbo and S-Cack''s as guilty as the rest of us.

tp (who at least TRIED)

[Jimbo]

Maybe the bailiff will be sicked on both of us. I hope she's pretty.

[T-Pee]

With our luck it'll be Chief Koplan from Small Town Security.

Heartcut! You didnt tell us Sister Mary Ballcrusher doubled as a cop!

Was trying to keep it quiet so she could tag team with the penguin.
Salmon balls, anyone?

[Red Rim]

Holy hell!!! I go to work for 4 hours and this thread jumps into poetry, song and dance?

T_pee, you coughed up the information about your former employment on another thread a while back. Maybe the radiation effected your memory?

[T-Pee]

Obviously, it hasn't affected yours.

[Red Rim]

All of that aluminum laced high abv alcohol I have been consuming have killed off all of the weak brain cells. The ones I have left are the strong determined ones. Battle of the fittest!

You gave up your employment in Bushman's thread on fishin and shrimpin.

[T-Pee]

I can neither confirm nor deny that I found it. How's that?

[T-Pee]

The transformation begins.

Here's the 240v 5500w element, pot, readout and 40 amp SSR.

Here's the back of the readout and the toroidal ring. I got no instructions in English so some help with input/output and toroid ring placement would be a big help:
