Heres mine:

Its not the end of the world to replace it, elements are $12 at HD...

Looking good! I bought my volt and amp meter's separately and they looked similar to that. I ended up blowing them up, havent replaced them and dont intend to. I like your use of sticky pads and zipties ... makes everything much cleaner.

Or, for less than half the price auber sells something that accomplishes the same thing: http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=44

Assuming it is a standard thermostat, it is built for 24v AC, not DC ... but still wont power a freezer by itself.

And that is even coming from North Texas... Hill Country is where its at.

Honestly at our volume, efficiency doesn't matter. Whats an extra 2# of grain? $4 tops? (with my bulk price its $1.42) I get about 80% with a 90minute sparge on my "traditional" system. I almost wish I went with a brutus 20 system because its quicker, and honestly it seems more...
