The heat sticks will help get you to strike temp, but not really to boil. If you do decide on one, I would recommend changing the male plug end to one of these:

Or just make sure you plug it into a GFCI circuit.
Alternatively, you can punch a hole near the bottom of the grainfather, below the basket line and add one of these:

That will give you far better results than the bucket heater...but you're then drilling a hole in your brand new toy.
I used this one from Amazon. It didn't fit through the hole either, but I just smacked it with a hammer a few times until the bend in it made it small enough to fit through the bushing.

awesome.
so something like this would do the trick?

This guy? If so, no, you're fine.
Not specific 120v ones, but the best ones will have the most surface area for their rating. Look for "ultra low watt density" ones, they are longer and wavey. They will last longer because they have less wattage being output per square inch of surface area.
I would get ones meant for hot water heaters rather than beer brewers, as those are just marked up a lot and aren't really any different. Something like this would do just fine.
