Hi CoxyBoy,
What are you looking to do?
Set the Kettle dimensions (This is done in B, with shape modification done in X) or ...?
If you let me know, I'll see if I can help, and if not, others will be along later who can.
I'll look out for your answer / update

Hi Coxyboy,
As yettimann above says you measure your kettle and fill in to section B. If its a Birko 40L urn I measured it at 350mm ID x 430mm height.

Hi guys attached as promised
Where do I add deadspace for my burco as the tap is a bit higher than the bottom of the boiler?

Hi CoxyBoy,
Ignore the dead space for the 1st actual brew (later on it will be accounted for in the calculations).
Then after you finish the boil update the VIF (volume into Fermentor) the difference is the amount 'lost'
Then at your next brew you can enter this amount in X (KFL) Kettle to Fermenter loss
Looking forward to your piccies

Brew done, cool took forever.
Worked out in the end my thermometer is not reading correctly so may explain why I am below target.
Please see the attached, pics to be added later, anyone tell me what my efficiency is?

I too use a Burco, mine has a concealed element, very fast to boil, easy to clean, and makes (if I might say so) great beer 
Glad you are here with us.
Great pictures by the way
