I went to a lot of trouble converting a cheap convection oven for kilning grain, never realizing that my STC 1000 is limited to 100C
While this perfect for base malts, I would like to be able to take the temps higher........ any suggestions for comparable temp controller that will run up to about 200C??
I love these STC 1000's........ I use them on lots of things, but never realized that there was a 100C limit.
It looks like PID controllers are the next option, but I have no desire to use a PID. They offer complex settings I don't need, and cannot be used with as simple contactor, but require an SSR. The simple rugged reliability of the STC 1000 with a mechanical contactor appeals to me.
