Got the broken induction burner in and started taking it apart. I think it's gonna work just fine...

Broken ceramic/glass top...

Top removed...

Induction coil and temp sensor removed...

Bottom of induction coil and temp sensor...

Thickness of the induction coil...

I should be able to hook up some extra wire to the induction coil. It looks like 12 or 10 gauge wire and a simple 2 wire connector should work. This will allow me to only place the induction coil under the item I want to heat up (oil pan or coolant pan) and keep the electronics portion out from under the hood.

I'm thinking of using two glass cutting boards to sandwich the induction coil with so the coil won't git banged up as I'm moving it in/out of the area. I guess I could use some Luan pieces instead since the coil won't need to "cook" anything...
