I rigged up an Arduino PID and used it to cook sous vide chicken breast the same afternoon. It helped that I already knew how to measure temperature with a DS18B20.

L14-30 & L6-30 flanged inlets, connectors, plugs, receptacles

Do you need L14-30 hardware for your power controller? These pieces saw use in theatrical audio and lighting equipment and look clean and in good shape. I'll update with pictures later today.

Looks good to me. I might have been tempted to go with just the fan inside the PSU, but having 2 fans certainly won't hurt.

If it's any consolation, I made exactly the opposite mistake. I wanted to cut 7/8" holes and got a 1/2" chassis punch. Doh!

I would like to see one, but I'm not too bothered that I didn't go that route in the end. I was always going to build a dedicated brewery controller, and portability was important for the smoker...

Looks good!

I built a separate smoker controller for 120V but having 240V capability would have been very handy.

That's right, when the pump starts up it can draw more power than it is rated for so it's best to leave a little overhead. I know people have been running 14W pumps off a 12V@2A power supply...

Stainless is not a terribly good conductor of heat as metals go so where you put the probe matters. Plus you need to insulate. I would recommend a small, flat thermistor which will give you a better...

Haven't tried it. I would say that power supply is OK for 1 pump. For $2 more you can get a 5A supply, I would go for that for 2 pumps.
