This is the Ranco temp controller I will be using, along with a 16 ga. extension cord I'm going to chop in half and use as the input/output for the Ranco. You can also see I put in a 3/8" cord clamp/strain relief at the bottom of the Ranco. The hole is 1/2" but my Home Depot didn't have any 1/2" clamps in the style I wanted.
