I have my wiring figured out with the help of P-J's wiring digrams and many other comments/ideas from the forum. A simple gravity system (i.e. no pumps) with 5500w elements in the HLT and BK. The PID will control the SSR for the HLT, but I would like to also use the same PID/SSR for the BK. I only need to reach 220F (100C) to boil in the BK, but don't want to just turn on the element and boil crazy. Would like to control it to a simple rolling boil and not have the element at full all the time.
Can I put a temp probe in the BK and switch it between the HLT and BK? Woudl a probe be of any help if it is set for 220 deg? Or is there a better way?
(Also thinking of a PWM circuit, but looking for the cheapest/easiest solution. aka, short on $)
