Advantages
- Low cost - essentially the cost of a $10 kiln heating element, and balance for refractory material and steel for case and legs.
Howto
- Connect 2 heating elements by threading around a threaded rod - 3:30
- 1.5 meters long works for 250V - 3:40
- Resistance in his case - 33 Ohm when cold - 3:45
- Fire Bricks - 5:20. Note CEBs work well as fire bricks per results from Hydronic Stove, and results would probably improve if we used perlite. This would be a good product.
BOM
Industry Standards
- $150 on Alibaba - [3]
