That makes sense. I guess I was assuming that most people who included a manual option with the BCS were doing it to allow full manual control (including element regulation) in case they felt like it.

I guess I was just trying to figure out why one would have a manual mode for the elements if you were going to use the BCS all the time. However, I suppose you could always have the elements in manual to start and then flip to auto once you get close to the right temps. Is this what you do?

I'm thinking of following a very similar plan, but I was wondering about the manual mode in this system. Am I correct in thinking that if the switches are set to manual, there's no way to regulate how often the elements fire (short of constantly flipping the switch), like you would have if...
