No PID. Didn't want to put that much automation in at this time. Goal was to ditch propane and go to electric cheaply and effectively as possible. This a voltage regulator, and changing the resistance to the triac inside uses a method called phase angle modulation to vary the power output. Electrically its more noisy than a PID, but being this is on a dedicated circuit with nothing else im not worried about interference of other devices.
Yeah will likely get a bigger box down the road, for now it will work okay. This box I have now was $12 bucks so not a big loss. Will give it a try later today or this weekend and see how everything goes.
