Agree.

I was having trouble finding a kit with everything but the transformer on EBay. I looked; but my search terms were not yielding much. Just lookin for a little help. One stop shopping for $175 minus the transformer sounded good to me.

Here is the conversion kit on ebay

You also need a pilot burner, orifice and pilot tubing. No one sells them all together.

Thx. You'd think that someone would make it easier and just assemble the parts. Oh well, it is half the fun.
Thanks again!

I couldn't find the orifice that they call for. Also you should think about getting some of the spring style tubing benders for the pilot tubing. That stuff kinks with you just looking at it.

It would cost more if someone did that I am sure

The .010" orifice is shipped with the pilot burner, and is shown in the parts included in the package. The pilot burners are usually shipped with the .018" installed, and changing is as easy as removing the brass compression nut and tapping the pilot to get the orifice to drop out.

Honeywell has a new universal pilot burner that is awesome. I put them on my rig and get a perfect light every time. The head is adjustable.

Keep in mind that you may have to adjust the pilot, when I fired mine off the first time the pilot was very high, the directions for my gas valve explained how to make the adjustment.

Is there any resource for wiring up a single Auber PID with the "lower cost approach" kladue gives in post 17? I have searched extensively - all setups seem to be for multiple controllers and valves which I think would be overkill for my needs. I simply want one PID to control the temp of my Hot Liquor tank, a main power switch, and a switch or two to power a pump or two.
