I finally took the plunge and got an Inkbird PID kit from Amazon. I want to use it between both of my pots and the toaster oven for the PC. I'm putting a panel mount socket in the box so I can plug in each piece of equipment as needed. My question is, can I use regular copper wire to connect the socket to the PID or does it take something special?
I did screw up and pick up spare TC's that were only good to 400c. I'm thinking 600 would be better. No big loss however. I'm going to buy another PID kit and install it on my home built smoker at camp so I don't have to move my $220.00 Auber controller back and forth.
