All sorted then, Glad to hear it all arrives assembled and the grain stopper has also been upgraded.. while the simplicity of the little ally cap did appeal to me its lack of mass meant it was all to easy to knock off
The Grainfather has a thermal switch with a manual reset, while using the controller as is i had no problems,and ive read of no reports of it tripping with normal use.
However when upgrading to a reflashed OVBS stc1000 i initially ran with default heating output parameters i scorched the pot base (concealed element, easily cleaned up) And tripped the thermal switch
I have since tweaked the controllers power output parameters to correct this (fingers crossed)
But with that experience in mind i intend to knock up a wee platform to sit on a couple of 2x4" runs with a central hole to provide easy access to the thermal switch reset button. It was no fun hugging a full hot grainfather as i balanced it on the edge of the stand it was sat on so i could fumble underneath to hit the button ;(
