I scrapped together some parts from Aliexpress and attached it to my weber kettle. I did chip some of the porcelain while drilling a hole but oh well. It's been going for about 2 hours now. Seems to keep my kettle at a steady 130°C as long as i keep the water tray filled up.
If there is a demand, i might put some plans/build instructions online

Sir, that’s cheating!
Love it!
That’s so cool! I teach 7th and 8th graders Mechatronics and Engineering and I’d love to see the plans and any pics of the build along the way!
Nice, now all you need to do is add WiFi and your golden!
😁
What is it controlling. All I see is a temperature probe connecting to microcontroller. What’s the actuator. PID?
I’m going down the same hole! But I’m definitely over-engineering it. Good luck! Let me know if you get better mileage from those cheap k-type max6675 probes than I did, they kept jumping 10-20F if I jiggled the wires.
