h a l f b a k e r yIncidentally, why isn't "spacecraft" another word for "interior design"?

Solid disk elements are common. |
|
|
Not as stock replacements for standard coils as far I as I know. |
|
|
Maybe it's just the way I read it. It wasn't clear to me what the invention was. I guess I have the expectation that when adapting existing technology, one would reference the existing technology as being just that. |
|
|
So, the idea is to retrofit existing solid elements in to stoves originally equipped with coils. |
|
|
Yeah, I don't know if the existing solid elements work as a drop in replacement either. Never tried it. Seems possible with a minimum of adaptation. Probably would need some sort of seal (high temp silicone?) between the burner and the stovetop. |

I recieved the following email from somone looking for just such a thing, perhaps this idea isnt that bad after all. |
|

"Jason, I've been looking for retrofit solid disk burners to replace my coils. I can't find any but I found you're thresad, so I thought I'd ask to see if you knew where I can find some replacement burners.
Can you help.
Thanks, ---" |

Maybe I need to give this one a shot for real. |
|
|
I had those coils in an appartment once. Thank god I didn't cook enough to need them cleaned! |
|
|
Surprised this didn't have more votes. It's a good idea, and not at all impossible to create this so that the coils are enclosed and cover the gap that the drip pans would otherwise fill in. |

Thanks Shapu, I don't think people understood the concept. If they were for sale i can say that I would have bought more than 30 of them over the years. |
