Our heating elements now have a stainless base!

Effective immediately:

All of our Heating Element Kits now ship with name brand Camco brand heating elements with a stainless base (will not rust). These are still ULWD (Ultra-Low-Watt-Density) ripple heating elements. ULWD means that they produce only 50W per square inch (7.8W per square centimeter) or less so as to not scorch or caramelize the wort. Equally important is that the Camco heating elements are UL listed for use in US/Canada. The best part: The price remains the same!

Remember these 3 things when looking for heating elements:

1. ULWD (50W sq in / 7.8W sq cm or less)
2. UL listed for use in US/Canada
3. Stainless base (no rust)

These heating elements will also be available for order separately very soon for those looking to upgrade. EDIT - See: http://www.theelectricbrewery.com/stainless-steel-heating-elements

This is great news! Your kit is now the cheapest AND most robust option IMHO.

Thanks!

When the individual heating elements go on sale in a few days we also promise that they will be the cheapest price available on brand name Camco 2955 (4500W) and 2965 (5500W) stainless steel models.

I just got a Brewer's Hardware element enclosure and find that where it comes back to the base on the wavy (Brewmation) element it enters the tri-clamp thermowell slightly and touches the side of the kettle. I think these elements above are the same size and evidently the only ULWD 5500 watt heating elements are the wavy ones like the camco. I guess I'm going to continue on and see if something bad happens. I've heated water to 200+ F and the TC fitting isn't glowing or anything. If ok and I blow out another element I'll give these a try.
