Here are the last two pic's I took last night,  One is the final wiring of the lid and the second one is how I protected the wire bundle from getting harmed with the box opening and closing.

Sweet looking finger joints on the enclosure.

I hope the wood enclosure is not a thermal problem.

Never actually calculated theta for wood in any of my designs.

 

 

BTW Theta is thermal resistance.

So I'm a dumb ass.

 

The PID I have for my rig shows on the side how to wire up the temp probe. It shows both a Thermocouple or RTD probe. The model number is rubbed off the label so I could not tell what type mine used so I took a gamble and got a new RTD probe. Wont work, mine only uses K type thermocouples.

I received my new K type thermocouple and it works great. Ill be doing another test run tonight with just water again and this weekend Ill be brewing with it.
