I'm getting ready to put in a second element in my BES original (newer model with the large dial) and was curious if I need to worry about excess current draw through the thermostat knob. I found the instructions to install it with a switch but I've also seen reports that the new knob style BES' can handle the draw, unlike the old slider units. Can anybody confirm or deny either of these?
