Parts:
Toolzone 12 Litre Stainless Steel Bucket
Lid for Bucket
Stainless Steel Coil
Black enclosure
Heating Element (similar)
Compression Fit Stainless Steel Fittings
First stage was to drill holes in the bottom of the bucket: Measure distance between the connections to give you the centres for the holes

Put the element in to figure out where the holes should go

Mark with a center punch

Drill through the bucket: Go really slowly or the stainless will work harden.

Then place the bucket on the lid of the box and mark the centre of the two holes. Drill as before. Make sure to remove all burrs before you put the element in!



Since the lid isn't flat it's a bit of a pain to cut so I used a q-max cutter. The closest size I had was 1.25" which is a bit too big but allows steam/vapour (if I end up using oil rather than water) to escape.

Now I just need to do the wiring... when the bits arrive!
