    Direct Plug-in PID Controler??

    Do any of our members sell a PID controller that, without any do-it-yourself stuff, that I can just plug my casting pot into.
    If no one does, is there a retailer out there that does offer one for sale.
    I actually did spend about an hour searching this forum and the net but all I could find seemed to need some sort of additional stuff to make it work.

    Shooting season is coming up fast and I need to get started casting and loading and I'm too busy with routine maintenance to mess around with the do-it-myself stuff.

    Thanks in advance.
    Respectfully,

    You can buy one right out or build one yourself.

    I used an old computer power supply box and then from a reputable ebay seller purchased the thermocoupler, PID, SSR and heat sink. I purchased a short 14 guage extension cord and and some wire connectors to finish up the project. Total cost was under $70.......closer to $60.

    I just bought one from OB111. He's a good guy to deal with and the unit is neat and compact with good workmanship.

    I just bought one from OB111 also. I searched the forum and saw a thread from an old member that got banned so that was out, then I found OB111's thread. I sent payment as soon as I saw the pictures of the unit. It Hasn't arrived yet, but looks like a solid unit that is finely crafted. The TC is wired with a k type receptacle, so you can leave your TC installed on multiple units and use the same PID for your casting pot, toaster oven, lubrisizer, kiln, whatever. I can't wait to try it out.
    I thought about building one, but with the weather warming I am back to working 6 10s, so time is short, and money isn't​.

    I have used PID that I got from OB111 works really great and well built, I could have built one my self but now I have more time to cast and shoot.
