Yesterday, while snooping ebay for anything good to use in my stove controllers, I stumbled onto 2 SSAC phase controllers (Triacs)

These were on my list for the big stove, but at $50 each, not really high on the list.

The units I found are 6 amp rated (plenty for the conv fan) and were priced at $7.50 each and $6 shipping.

I got both for $21 (one shipping cost)

A great score for the $$$$$

I don't think the seller has a clue what these are for, but maybe ???????

It takes a buyer who has a need to even look at these anyway.

SSAC has/does make stove controls for pellet stoves and their stuff is good.

All I need to compliment these is a 100k ohm pot rated for line voltage and good to go.

Amazing what shakes out on ebay

Got a Whitfield Profile last summer for $75 off ebay. Guy thought it could be used as a fish feeder:)
 
Put the fish in the fire pot ???

Takes all kinds eh ??

Good stove ???
 
Guy just lost patience with trying to fix it and/or got a new one?

Bio, gonna start worrying about the seeming growing collection of stoves at your house unless they get fixed and moved on;hm

Good camp stove to help heat a 20x30 shelter. We had 26 people in the shelter, the temps were in the 40's and windy,rainy. All had to do to use was clean the auger of wet pellets and replace the POF eye with snap switch. Forget about using it's igniter.
