      Yeah even with our slow, low wall-voltage, having a dedicated boiler is fucking nice. Takes up some counter space, but it’s worth it.

      Cocoa, tea, coffee, whatever - it’s nice. And the vibe is nice.

      Yep. I’ve got 2. One in the house for hot chocolate, and one in my woodshop for um, woodshop things.

        I’m also a woodworker. What do you use a kettle for out there? Mixing your own shellac or wax or something?

          Shellac dissolves quite readily in alcohol at room temperature.

          I mainly use it in the winter as a source of hot water when I’m working with 2 part epoxy to warm up the bottles so it isn’t as thick and mixes easier.
