I expect that the electric brewery website instructions for converting the blichmann would work, might not even need to get the welders involved. Element control would become the issue, the thing with the commercially built unit has the thermostat switching all taken care of with the digital display. The downside is that the temp is not in super accurate steps from what I've read. (I've found it for $97 at Wally's in the US vs $126 here)
