I found this on the Ascotts website. Has anybody come across this before, are they a good investment and is there somewhere else that sells them cheaper.

link to spec & price
no not found anything cheaper for the size (27L/6G'ish)
yes very good investment if you make a lot of cheese and if the temperature controls on this can be controlled (ie it's not just set to pasteurise)

Using a simple plug adaptor will only supply the device with 110V, we had a similar problem when travelling in Vancouver earlier this year, the hair dryer my wife had was a little bit weedy running on 110V. The thing might work with 110V, just probably won't get as hot.

You really need a step up transformer, they are not too expensive, just googling found quite a few results.

Just watch out for the wattage.

Thanks for thinking.
I bought a new seat for one of the motorcycles after the order was cancelled. Soo no more spending for a week or two.

Now i realize that i need a 6 us gallon heater like another hole in my head.
Ill try the sink method first.

I have been making sausage but havent done any cheese yet.

I was being compulsive but boy tht is some nice gizmo.


Thanks very much for your input. :D
