I'm not sure how heating elements work as it pertains to safety and accidental ignition. If they become exposed for a split second, is that all it takes?
If so, I imagine you need to leave x amount of liquid in past having them submerged while it boils since there could be some violent activity in the boiler that could cause them to become exposed?
What kind of buffer is a good idea to leave so your elements stay covered? Say my elements are completely submerged with 5 gallons. If I ran 10 gallons charged at 40%, I should end up with about 6 gallons in the pot at the end. Is that cutting it too close?
