Well after some time, I finally got around to building my control box. I wanted to use PVC/Plastic for ease of cutting and drilling. I decided to use a plastic ammo can. In the bottom I used a sheet of aluminum to mount the innards to. A very special thanks to PJ who some time ago drew me a drawing for my box. I wanted the rims to not be able to fire if the pump was not on, and he was able to provide the schematics. Couldn't have done it without him.
Here are some pics:
This is the front. The timer is a sestos model from eBay. I may add a switch in which I can turn off the timer, because it doesn't seem to have a way to turn of independently.
This is the back with outlets for the RIMS tube, pump, and RTD temp probe.
The top has a separate compartment. Handy for storing extra fuses, and the temp probe.
Inside wiring not nearly as neat as others.
Now I just have to wire up the element in the tube, and test it out.
but has anyone had a burned flavor. Is it best to start the element after you have recirculated for a few minutes to get the smaller particles that may have gone threw the false bottom back on top of the grain bed?
