a new boiler?

[mb]

morning all. i've had no problems with my H+G plastic boiler, but i'm thinking of upgrading to something more solid mainly because i want to brew more often in smaller quantities and at higher gravities. i'm not confident that the kettle elements are up to the job of boiling 1070+ worts and if they were i suspect that boiling 15L of wort in a 50L boiler is going to give a lively boil. so, with that in mind, any thoughts on the below options,

the brupaks enamelled steel- the drawback would be the weaker element, but then if the plan is to brew 12-15L brewlengths in a 23L boiler maybe that's less of an issue.



a new burco - drawback being having to manufacture a hop filter (i'm not very handy, which is why i've ruled out the make your own option). these look very handsome,



they're expensive, but then i've a significant birthday coming up and a family nagging me to tell them what i want


am i correct in assuming that the concealed elements in these boilers are likely to do a better job of boiling high gravity worts without cutting out. come to think of it, am i right in assuming that the gravity of the wort is a factor in cut outs? if that isn't the case, might i be better off with some sort of electric gizmo to vary the power to the element in my existing H+G boiler?

any thoughts from owners of brupaks and burco boilers much appreciated.

Not sure what H&G boiler you're using but suspect that the "cutting out" is a result of the thermostat switching the element off, so suggest you try bypassing the thermostat before doing anything else. I suspect you may have to do this if using a Burco as a boiler; I can't get my Burco (HLT) to continuously boil during liquor treatment so am fitting a bypass switch to overide the thermostat.
