Very, very dangerous, because I still haven't made a case for it. The switch, the PID and the SSR are in a plastic bucket now, with the temperature sensor and two ends of the extension cord sticking out. But I have some nice birch boards drying. I don't really have a woodworking shop. I usually work outside on the lawn, and its too cold now. When spring arrives I'll make the case...
That's cool, maybe when it is all done you could post some photos? What have you cooked in it?

I also work outside, this weekend I took advantage off the beautiful sunshine to advance on one off my projects, I've been meaning to do a solar oven, so I started it and made a few tests, even though the outside temp was not to high (17ºC) the oven still reached the 90 ºC but when the clouds covered the sun the temp dropped, so I have to insulate it and make it water proof, I will not be working on it the next few days since finally the rain has arrived and its supposed to last until next Monday, let’s hope the weather people have it right.
