Awesome, well I'll go ahead and order one from them too then. Sounds like a solid investment. I figure if the Cuisunyo brand that was "like new" already had issues like that then it's probably not worth fooling with further and either way if I monkey with it I'm sure I would have much more...
Well it looks like the used unit I got isn't any good. Even with the open grate underneath it kept overheating about 5 min into the boil with my 16 gallon Gas One kettle and I had to do a very slow boil on my stove which took forever to finish.. The end product seemed to come out well at least...
So I found this nice table to use an induction plate on. It's from Walmart listed as "Lifetime 4-Foot Fold-In-Half Cooking Table". One side is made for camping cook/grill tops and is made of a large grate, metal crossed bars. My unit seems to be keeping cool really easily on it and it works...
Sound advice once again. The unit I received seems to be doing the job after getting to test it today. I'll give it the real test in about a week or two for my next brew day. Have you tried putting yours on a table with no top, maybe just two boards for the legs to keep a higher degree of...
Thanks again for the tips. Condenser sounds like a good idea. I just got to test out my adapter and all seems to be working great so far :) I just did a small 3 gallon boil with it to test the induction plate and the ball valve seals. Boiled in a little less than 15 min.
I actually haven't done any all grain batches more than a 3 gallon at a time. I've done that twice now alongside a 5 gallon extract at the same time. So far we've just been doing it on our stove. If it feels too humid in there we can just run a fan through the sliding door screen but honestly it...
We live in a condo with polished concrete floors and our washer/dryer area is basically in a pantry partition next to the kitchen so it's the perfect area really. Thanks again for the help :)
Thank you for the ideas. I ended up looking around, a lot, for a decently priced adapter. Most are $50+ dollars! I finally found one at Walmart though for $27 and some change. Those search engines just have a hell of a time finding what you type in though for these things. This is the title of...
I'm sorry if this is already answered. I want to do this the simplest way possible. I have a Cuisanyo (super off-brand) 3500w 240v induction plate I got used like new for very cheap on Amazon that uses a nema 6-20 plug and I only have one dryer outlet that's a 3 prong nema 10-30. I see where...
Yeah I only picked it up because it was used like new through Amazon with fulfillment so I can get an easy return if it's no good. I kept seeing bad reviews about Mais and Avantcos breaking down quickly too.. Maybe they're all just selling us junk, lol.
Amazon has this 3500w/240v induction plate from a brand called Cuisunyo for $151.98. I just ordered a slightly smaller unit used but with the same wattage/voltage for almost half the price. Check it out and let us know if it's worth it or not. I just couldn't pass up the good deal on the used...
I'm looking at getting an induction plate but looking to go cheap since even the $300 Mai's have reviews stating failures after a fairly short time. I found this one made by Cuisunyo on Amazon for like half the price at $151.98. Has anyone tried it or does anyone have any input for why or why...
