Just got the Magnum in. From various projects I have a bunch of pid's, and interested in controlling the pot this way. That said, I've never controlled for this high a temp (mostly, cheese vats, which rarely get higher than 125-130F). What do you DIY'ers use for a probe - or how do you set it up?
Alternatively, and I'm guessing like so much else "it depends," but any guesstimate on the power settings for proper alloy temp (presume 2:1 Pb: No. 2).
