<p>Great, thanks guys.</p>
<p>So I'd be looking at <a href="http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/100V-240V-PID-Digital-Temperature-Control-Controller-Thermocouple-0-400-K-/320928870284?pt=AU_B_I_Electrical_Test_Equipment&hash=item4ab8d9ef8c" target="_blank">one of these PID controllers</a>, and for the 10A load of the preserver, a 25A…</p>

<p>Can you calibrate the PID so that the temperature measured by it is adjusted to match a reference thermometer reading?</p>

<p>Hey mate Ive only ever used full programmable PID controllers for flow control, havent used the auto ones for temperature control so I cant really tell you. Maybe they have a better hysteresis than standard temperature controllers? SSR are a movement free version of the standard Electro-Mech relay. When you find out your current draw you will be able to find a suitable relay of any variety doesn't have to be SSR. Once you have your controller it will work with a certain probe like a K type…</p>

<p>Can't help, but I'm interested, being a fellow Agee Preserver user (with the totally inaccurate thermostat!!!).</p>
