I’m building another PID for another casting pot BUT also want to use it for a toaster oven.
I got a 14ga extension cord to wire the entire PID. Should I be using 12ga instead? I don’t know the amp draw of my toaster oven. I’m checking my dad’s retired cord section, he said he thinks he’s got a lot of 12ga.
It does have a convection function I don’t think I can turn off when using. Read that I might have to wire the fan cuz it won’t work plugged into a pid. No clue bout that.
I also don’t know where to put the thermocouple in the oven. Can I just lay it in there and close the door?
