Please correct me if you know I'm wrong.
Water needs to boil at 212 to rise up the center pipe in a small coffee urn to perk your coffee.
We need to maintain at least 180 to use this type of urn to bottle syrup.
I read a thread where one man found numerous new urns failed to maintain over 145 degree in spite of company literature touting a higher temp.
Has anyone modified their urn to meet the 180 requirement?
Did you replace a thermostat to do this?
Did you jumper out the existing thermostat to make the urn provide heat without ever shutting off?
I found a 185 thermostat on-line and it's supposed to be a replacement for coffee urns, but it seems to be a NO (normally open) switch.

I would assume we're looking for NC, so it would open at 185 to protect the urn's contents from overheating.
I have no idea when this thermostat would turn back on after a drop in temperature.
You'll see this company is located in Hong Kong, and you can find this product on Amazon as well.
Any thoughts?
