I am trying to upgrade the boil kettle for more efficient/faster boil times. What kind of process is involved in putting a heating element or "heat stick" into my SS boil kettle? I am not necessarily looking for something for stand alone boils, but maybe something to supplement the elements on my electric stove top. Any ideas/advice? Is it possible to do this without drilling a hole in my pot? On the surface, this appears to be way more efficient than propane.
Also, if you have an electric kettle, I would appreciate any photos/details to help me understand what some of you guys are doing with electricity.
Cheers.

Re: Converting my boil kettle to an "e-kettle"
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.
