BIAB Decoction advice

I want to do a decoction using my electric biab system and wanted to see how other people would do it.

Right now I’m thinking heat the water with my Anvil Foundry and mash in a separate pot. After that scoop some out and put it back in the Foundry to boil.

Any reason this wouldn’t work or better ways to do it?

Why not mash in the Foundry, then pull thick mash to boil in a separate pot? That’s how I’d go about it.

This is exactly what I would do (I also use a Foundry…haven’t decocted yet, but was thinking about it recently and this was the procedure I settled on).

Which one? The OP or mine?

That way definitely sounds like the better way to do it Denny, but I don’t currently have a way to heat to heat the pot. Maybe I should borrow a burner to do it though.

Could you do it on stovetop or a hot plate?

You can find relatively inexpensive induction plates these days (~$40) and those are easy to store and use whereever.
