Thanks for the head's up and will do.

The way I'm going eliminates the need to disassemble the pot for the PID controller, I'm also not using the BC thermocouple. Got the idea from this l o n g video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgixJeF0vEU

Longest wait was for the project box, apparently the company had to run a new batch, even the 800C thermocouple from China arrived sooner. Have some ideas for modifications over the one in the video, so will detail them when I do the build.
