Who's built a homemade electric scalder?

I bought the upgraded ranco controller with 14 gauge wire (15 amps/1800 watts). Does this mean I can only use one 1800 watt maximum heater to heat the water?

I'd like to build a homemade electric scalder. I want one like the Dux Industries 14 gallon fiberglass tub. My plan is to build it from a utility sink, a thermostat, and (2) water heater elements. It has to be 110V. I don't have 220 at the chicken coop. I like this one that I found on ebay but it seems that it can be built for less $$.

Now I know some of you will say just use a turkey fryer setup and propane burner. I did that last time and had trouble maintaining the right temperature so I want to try an electric one this time. I process 50-60 at a time. I need efficiency.

Anyone out there built one as I described and can you offer photos and advice?

Thanks

I am just curious... does the electric fry work the same job? Can you use the water instead of oil?
