Heating elements
Hi all! I’m looking into different heating elements for my natural dyes, specifically to maintain consistent temperatures.
I find that on electric or gas (outdoor burners) I have a hard time maintaining lowers temperatures.
For example, keeping madder and flower dyes at a low enough temp consistently, keeping at 180F for pretreating silks for an hour without boiling (I always end up boiling my silks by accident), and to start up organic vats (henna) which I’d like to keep at around 120 degrees for 12 hours or so.
I have an immersive bucket heater, an exterior bucket heater I use for indigo and have been considering buying an ink bird temperature controller to maintain those.
For dye pots I’m considering a precision cooker.
Any experience with these types of temperature controls or any advice/devices you’ve found useful?
