The PID comes with a TC so unless you need the extra length of the one you posted, you can skip it too.

The timer? Well, unless you're going to use it to make coffee I see no need for this type in an oven. It turns on at a specified time of day so I'm confused about why you included it.

Add a heat sink to your list!
sorry carwiz but when you order from auberins. the probe is not included with the PID ,

but i agree about the timer , its useless for this application

the thermocouple on that list has a 1/2 inch threaded probe at the end
i think it would be better to use a 3 or 6 inch probe , i bought the 6ft cable with 6 inch probe
