Hey I am building up an easy smoker control for my buddy. He has a plug in on/off only type smoker and it has no temp control. He has expressed that he would like something analog and simple (which is a bummer because I have a pid on mine and it is great). So I am looking to build a rotary knob type controller. This will be for 110V US power.
I am used to the pid control which goes pid to ssr to smoker element.
I have been looking at these.

It seems like this could really be the ticket to an easy control here. I do have a question though
1.) Could I use this to directly power a 1500W element? You know, without it bursting into flames.
