I can't show you what I'm making as it's a prototype design for an ethanol fuel distillation unit.
(yes the guy has his federal permits)

Anyway, about halfway through the test run the wires start to burn at the element due to excessive trapped heat.
Increased the vent holes and still they start to smoke. So, I unwrapped a tig finger and slid it over a new set of
wires! NO MO Smoke! You saved the day Jody! ;)
