Can someone take a look at this thermostat?

Hey guys is this what I need and is it complete? It says it comes with a sensor wire but that does not include the thermo Coupler does it?

I didn't see where it says NO thermocouple. I seen where it says you get "Free K type thermocouple sensor/wire". Mine said the same thing and I got the thermocouple. It is on the very end. What you want to do is, place it in a pipe and stick it through the wall and put a cap on the end, so it will give you a teurer reading on your oven temp. I can take a picture of how mine is installed if you like. I was told by a guy that deals with this type of thing everyday where he works. He's around 63, so he's been doing it for awhile. I also used my Infrared Thermometer to test the end and it read exactly what the digital display said, 400.

The one in my oven is a little different then the one you get, as I got it from the guy (mentioned above), but I did get the thermocouple with the one off Ebay.

Just got mine in the mail Monday. It is pretty much like the one that i have. Not much for instructions with it. But the wiring hook up is on the control and you can see it on the Ebay page also. As far as I know that one will work. Basically it turns the power on and off. Some have settings that you can store, while others need to be set each time. The one that I currently have working holds the temp within 1 or 2 deg. Mine, that is installed now is a Berger-Coleman. The other came from Ebay. Will be framing the new oven 3x3x3 today and hope to have it done in about a week or so.

I just picked up 2 of the ones I listed at the top. I'm going to run 2 seperate controls in my 100 cubic foot oven (6 elements). It should heat up quick pulling about 80 amps!

Here is the pipe probe I was talking about and the probe as it enters the rear of the oven.

my brother can get me some controllers, so it appears my electrical costs should be close to $0! i'm saving alot of $ on this oven.

i will post what i use and if it works when i find out what he is getting me...and if it works!
