/diy/ - Do It Yourself

the mechanical timer / switch failed on the 'ol faithful pizza oven. being too cheap to spend money on a replacement I used a microwave oven timer board.
the oven consists of stainless steel box, two 500W electric elements (top & bottom) and a bi-metalic high-limit.
the MOV timer board has a 15a 250vac rated DPDT relay as the output.
one bonus is the MOV timer board times reliably to the second as well as having "power level" setting that run a 30 second duty cycle ie. 90% power runs 26 seconds on with 4 seconds off, 70% is 20 / 10 etc... this has resulted in much better control of pizza cooking than the old twist dial ever could.
