Advice on Temperature Controller for 26" Kettle?

I have no idea what any of that means, but I am curious to learn if it is something I can do at home, with about negative zero electrical skills?

The wiring is easy enough to do. You would need to get a 12VDC power supply and some wire. 18 - 22 gauge would be sufficient.

This supply would be sufficient to run the controller and fan.

Never counted wings on mine , but here's a size reference .

Maybe he'll see this and link that thread .

It finally came...My roided kettle.

Well it was my birthday a little while back and I told my wife not to get me anything again. Did she listen no. Did she do good yes!!!. For about a year now I've been seaching CraigsList for a special kettle with no luck of course. I guess the misses was tired of my complaining that I couldn't...

I see it is compatible with the 26" Kettle now. I've wanted to get a new MasterTouch and Spider Venom instead of a pellet grill. Maybe some day.
