Hi,

Thanks. You should also check if the glowing mesh is durable or burns out after some time.


I have used Nichrome mesh for many years on poker burners and a few small (12 mm) or less ceramic style burners and all it seems to do is blacken, not burn through like the stainless steel and bronze mesh I have tried.

Take care.

Tony.
