Digital temp controller mk11


Trashcan smoker in background. 
Temp controller in foreground. 
My mk1 temp controller has an internal mechanical relay, it's only capable of switching 3  amp max.
Perfect for sous vide machine, or the black garlic project but Not enough for the electric skillet powering the smoker. 
So I assembled this. 
This one features an external solid state relay. So using transistors or magic or something to switch the high voltage instead of a tiny mechanical  switch. Should last far longer. I'll also use this on the sous vide machine if I'm not smoking at the same time, as it's a far better controller.
