Definitive Grounding Tutorial

Is there a tutorial out there showing the PROPER way to ground your electric setup?
I am building a dual-120V circuit single-vessel system with two elements. My brew stand is made of 80/20 with plywood surfaces, and my control panel will mount to an 80/20 extension that is connected to the rest of the stand. I will be using tri-clamp fittings for the elements, so the kettle itself will be connected to the panel ground through the TC clamps.
Anything else to do to make sure this is safe?
Thanks

Take a look here for some hints on proper wiring of grounds in a panel:

Make sure everything metal is connected together and grounded. Make sure to use a GFCI. If using two circuits you'll need two GFCIs.

Good luck and welcome to the forum!
