There are heaps of posts around and so much information it is all confusing me, I have a still with a 2100w element running in NZ and want to build something to manage the heat output of the element. Everything i have read has lead me to building an SSR and Potentiometer.
What i am thinking is this:
SSR

Potentiometer

I have a old CPU heat-sink at home that i will use but will i need it? Same with a fan?
Case
Some form of plastic box
Meter:
Would i better off using something like this:

or like this:

I plan on just chopping up an extension lead and using that as wiring will that work?
Is there anything else that i need or need to be carefull of?
Thanks for your help!! :-D
