Where to buy an electric heater, hotplate style +800 C
It's for a down's cell I'm building, but I'm having trouble finding a site that you can order them from without being a big company and buying 500 at
a time!!!

How about "electric furnace" or "kiln".
Probably a standard coiled element type hot plate will work if you add refractory insulation -- mineral wool might work, if not, a kaowool or similar
high-temp product.

Well I know what I need, I just don't know where to get it; like a recommendation to a site or supplier is what I'm looking for

Oh, element? Just about any will do, they're made to glow red.

But you don't find one that gets above 800 C and is at least a foot across on just any kitchen stove or hardware store

Did you search and read (or scan) the threads on furnace building?

I am not interested in building the furnace part myself, I'm going to make the entire downs cell from scratch so I would like to have at least one
part of it I know I can count on and can use to base the rest of my design on.

I am not aware of any household electric hotplates designed for 800C. The company that makes "Calrod" elements will custom make elements, IIRC.

Do you know if this company will sell and ship privately to an individual? I have found a number of them already that make the parts but only do
custom or industrial requests.

No. I don't even remember which website I was on.
Here's one: http://www.wenesco.com/hotplates.htm
I think you're on the right track. Just keep searching and asking questions to find a suitable vendor. I'll be surprised if it won't be expensive,
however.

Wow they are selling like the appex of all hotplates there! I don't even need one that advanced. I could settle for just a raw element and build the
power regualtor, but it would be cool to have one of those....I'll have to think about it.
Thanks for the site
