Auber SSVR v Stilldragon kit

[Bensiff]

I was looking at this:

http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_30&products_id=332

Looks good to make something that could adjust boil intensity with the greatest of ease. However, looking at another thread, someone said Stilldragon has a kit, and looking at it, it is a 40 amp SSR with a pot. The cheaper price and higher amp rating are appealing; but, does anyone know if that SSR is designed to be run with a pot or is the Auber SSVR the correct tool for the job?

If it was not, then it wouldn't work. You can't just throw a pot on any ole SSR and it do anything. I believe they are both phase angle control SSRs.

The still dragon unit works. You need an extension cord to complete the kit, otherwise everything is there. The auber one would require you to spend a good bit more to get the pot, heatsink, thermal paste, knob, strain reliefs, etc.

Shipping will run you $12 on the stilldragon kit.

The Stilldragon kit is surely the cheapest and least hassle DIY solution out there.
