I highly recommend you buy a heat sink to disipate the heat that will be caused from that SSR. I've seen to many fires/equipment failure from people not providing the proper cooling.

Made it 110cm x 100cm x 60cm and 2.5kw element, heats up pretty fast. Hardest part to find some rockwool with Alu foil on a top here in Spain. Hopefully its ready in next few days. Im glad it helped you.. Mine works really well and holds the heat a lot better than i thought it would. The hardest part was working out how to use the pid controller

I paid about £50 for it and was brand new in box. Whichever model/make you get ensure it's SSR compatable, look for Eurotherm too, another good make Hanaldo (13/07/2015) For a good one: http://www.omega.co.uk/pptst/CN7800.html For a cheap one, eBay. Just be aware that the ones on ebay can take some modification to make work, eg. not compatible with an SSR.
