Welcome to the Gang Ewan (at a guess) Also known as other names 😉 What model Hottop do you have again? I still need to find some time to pull my modded 'D version' apart again for photos and a write up but mine has manual element and rear fan control with some fairly simple mods. Basically 555 timer and an SSR for the element. I need to make some time to write it up to make it more clear for others to follow.
Yep, you guessed right, thought you would. It's the same as yours - model 8828D. You were going to send me details of cap/resistor values you used quite some time ago, but probably forgot due to post St Pats day hangover 😉 I am still undecided whether to do the 555 thing for the heater, or use one of the many triac circuits I got lying around and control it directly. Will probably not happen until July anyway due to a trip back to the UK coming up.
