My (formerly trusty) used 220v induction burner crapped the bed mid-brew this morning so I’m in the process of shopping for a replacement. I see this one:

has a probe that might be handy
Anybody have any experience with this particular Brand and/or model?
Thank you!
Yes, I’ve brewed over a 100 batches on mine, easily. It is a work horse! Highly recommend
Thanks for the reply. Can you tell the make & model of your induction burner?
In the immortal words of Emily Litella, “Nevermind.” After peeking at some you-tube trouble-shooting vids for induction cookers, I decided that I would be remiss if I didn’t take my old induction cooktop apart and search for fuses. Smart move on my part- I found two and one was blown. A trip to the hardware store, $4.50 for a fuse, and some more time to put it back together and I’ve got a working induction cooker again. I’m also glad that I choose to buy a used higher-end unit some 6 years ago as I imagine it was built to have it’s fuses semi-easily replaceable. Now if my local HBS wasn’t closing I’d be sitting perfectly!
Well done! I like the feeling of troubleshooting, finding an issue, and fixing what I have.
Awesome!! Way to go. (FWIW- I have Avantco IT-3500)
Thanks! I suppose fixing and trouble-shooting stuff is part of the typical homebrewer’s psyche. At least it is for me. I can use what I would have spent on a new cooker to stock up from my LHBS as I won’t have one after a month or so as they discontinue their business.
