You might start with this. Or not. Frankly, we know it's a take-out, we just don't know what it was taken out of. It's got a big pair (7" long, U-shaped) of ceramic heating elements, mounted on a 5-1/2" L-shaped aluminum bracket with (4) heat switches wired in series before and after each element. It says it's rated 113°C at 12VDC. Each element draws approx 6A and the maximum temperature would be approx 600°-700°F. Switches are NC.
