Hello all!!!! New to the forum. Lots of great stuff here. Sorry if this is a repeat.
Im looking to build a simple kettle controller. Just want to be able to bring it up to a boil or roll it back, etc. Id like an on/off switch, a 240 cord coming out of the enclosure, and and 240 outlet on the other side of the enclosure. Basically, I want this one from high gravity, but wanna do it myself for a lot less.

Alien posted this 220V 10,000W SCR regulator from ebay in another thread.

Im wondering if that SCR is as simple as it looks? Just throw it in a box and go?
What enclosure should I use and do I need anything else special in there, etc?
If anyone has ANY suggestions, diagrams, links to better parts, it would be MUCH appreciated.
I will have a real electrician look over the final product once built.
Thanks for any help!!!
