Based on this https://www.morebeer.com/products/chocolate-hazelnut-porter-jamil-zainasheff-grain-kit.html but scaled down to 3 gallons. Came closer to 2 tho. Lost more than expected to boil, I guess.

Yeah, I think I had the power too high. It's a new-to-me system and is stronger than my previous (heat stick and a big pot). Lesson learned.
One of the first few brews on the system I was helping to get started (and teach about brewing new guy) ended with boil off of about 1/4 of the volume. We then discovered that it had lower settings - 2000 wats was too much.
