Ham I see in one of your threads where you say the 941 has a very old petcock on it and with a new one it may pull a vacuum.
Do you still think this? I'd rather not have to purchase the capillary tube if it's not actually needed. I guess I could run a test and see if it is hub?

Correct, Ended up replacing the stopcock with the new stopcock. Ran it a few times, and by accident broke the new style replacement stopcock. No vacuum was pulled. Luckily the old stopcock was kept, and was used to re-replace the new stopcock, and production carried on.
Provided below are three threads started over the matter. RR chimes in a bunch.

Just out of curiosity, what is the total watt-hours that you pull during a 2 hour sterilization run. I'm assuming you aren't pulling the full 1600 or whatever it is the whole time...

I have no idea, but I do know that the 25x will use a lot less electricity than running my 23qt presto on the stove.

Yes, a Cadco. They're the best brand I could find. Expensive but well worth it.

They look badass. I've wanted to upgrade my sterilization setup for a while, and at first I was gonna go with a 930 and a cadco hotplate. That would have cost considerably more than the 25x I scored, so I did well.
The OP is asking about which hotplate will run a 941 though. Do you think the cadcos are powerful enough? I didn't think they would have any trouble with the 930, but the 941 is fucking massive.

I don't use propane period. My current apartment doesn't have natural gas, and I have a charcoal grill. I think it largely depends on utility prices in your area, and honestly I have no idea whether the money you would save on your utility bill every month would outweigh the up front cost of filling up a propane tank. I have no idea how to figure it out mathematically, but I'm inclined to say it's really not likely to make a big difference.

I will be running my 941 outdoors on a burner during the summer but for winter I'd like to bring it inside on a plate.
If I'm going to spend the money on energy it might as well go towards heating my home as well.
Hopefully by the time winter comes I will have enough spare cash to buy one of the more expensive 2000w plates. The AA75x uses an immersed 1650w element so I would think that an external 2000w element would be at least equal. No doubt its not as efficient as an internal element but its what I will have to work with.
I am inclined to believe this would do the job and hold up to the weight http://m.ebay.com/itm/371057347589?nav=SEARCH
Nvm that's a 220v model but I believe I have seen 2000w 110v models. Maybe I should just say fuck it and decide to share my dryer outlet lol

I don't think you'll find a 2000 watt 110 v model. You still won't get what I'm saying about running the pc outside? As far as weight goes, weld together some angle iron to go around the plate the same height as it

A cadco can handle a 940. They're work horses.

Weight wise they can. But a 1600 watt only got it to 3 psi after 2 1/2 hours.

The angle iron support idea is a good one, come hook that up for me on weldmaster lol.
I'm sure it's much dirtier to run it outside but if I can get it to pull a vacuum like a sterilizer I don't see how it could cause any harm long as I wipe down the outside before bringing it in a semi clean workspace.

That's just it. It's a pita wiping it down. Plus that mofo is heavy when fully loaded. TheEaglesGift, I'll go out to the lab and check in a bit. I think it's this one http://www.amazon.com/Cadco-PCR-1S-Professional-Range-Stainless/dp/B00028X2Y6 Nice hotplate. Had midnightmaraude buy it for me on here and we traded. But i only use it on the smaller pc for agar work.

I know how long it takes my stove to get stuff up to temp and that's 220v and upgrading to a larger pc its going to take at least 4 times as long with a 110v plate.
I believe the only economical way to go about this is to use a 220v plate. I really do believe the one I linked would hold up. If you look at the reviews of some of the other cadco broilkings that have been posted they mention running pressure cookers with them.
I think imma have to find one of those rollers that trash cans sit on or other type of dolly to more readily move this thing around though.

A 220v is definitely the way to go

If it weren't for all the extra heat I would just keep it inside but damn its already near 100° here

I feel you on that. If you put it by a window, with a fan in that window blowing out and could shut the door on that room it would help
