I am going to build and test, I guess I will start this weekend, I have some parts but others I will need to order.
I guess It will take about 10 days to complete. (I hope)
I will include pictures and a progress report.

O.K. I got the parts in earlier this week and started assembling the controller.
I have done about 80%, the low voltage timer logic for the auger works great.
I have to wait for one other part to test the fan logic.
I will post photos as later today. I added a couple of diodes to the circuit for relay flyback protection.
Other than that its just as designed.

Hi,
Still only tested the low voltage part, I have to wait for another part to come in I have added all the high voltage connections now so when I get the part
I will be able to test the whole thing.

will be waiting to hear how it works.
Using the little project board from the Shack was a great idea.
MY setup uses all hard wire.
The timers are self contained with standard 1/4" spades to plug the wires into.
Was very easy to set up. Just made a new control panel and installed the switches and the Triac control.
Keep us posted

Here is the picture with high voltage connections made, I will dress them with RTV for safety after I have tested everything.
I would have liked to laid the board out but it would be to expensive for a one off

For sure on a one off board.
Thats pretty much why I did the hard wire thing.
Looking good

Well its been a while, the auger circuit work real sweet, the fan adjust seems to be an issue.
I also found that pellets I am using are jamming in the auger causing the flame to go out.
I wondered why my buddy gave me a couple of free bags. Anyhow the unit works but as I said the fan does not seem to
adjust.
When I have a minute to throw a scope on the circuit I will try and debug the problem, I think the opto driver for the fan triac
should not be a zero crossing type as the whole thing has a zero crossing trigger.
Anyhow this is the status so far
