Wanted: A heat stick in Halifax

Heyas, was wondering if there were any folks in the community that had a heatstick for sale; I've seen plenty of DIY guides for them, but I have basically no electrical experience myself, and high voltage and liquids didn't really seem like the safest place to start. :) My stove can get a rolling boil going if I have the lid on my pot, but obviously this isn't a good situation, and as soon as I take it off it drops back down to a simmer. A heat stick would be ideal to get the extra little boost I need to really get a roll going and keep it going. Anyways, if anyone has one they're selling or knows of a place to get em it'd be much appreciated. Thanks!

If your stove just can't cut it, consider this:

I have an aluminum kettle with a 1500w element built into it that I'd be willing to sell. I used it for stove top30l batches without a problem. Let me know.

Depending on how wide your pot is, you can sometimes overlap two burners with the base (at least partially). I have found that extra bit of umpf can push a rolling boil into effect in a pinch.

Pretty sure I saw a bunch at Quinpool Canadian tire, near the plumbing fittings section. That's all I got, I didn't take a close look at them.
