Killin me just killen me tex wine.
You built a controller for that lil 1500 watt stick, what the hell for, to turn it down? J/k
You had me puzzled troubleshooting your gfi issue this morning, you didn't mention you were building circuits beyond the outlet ....shame you owe me a beer but glad you helped yourself and have it straight now.
Toss that thing directly in a pot, and temper back in the morning with a few ice cubes next time....cheers!!!
It's crystal clear now...the smoke was your supplemental circuitry
Looks like a computer power supply, those things look large but are only 18ga.
Haha happy lesson learned.
Cheers
How many amps is that controller rated for? Are you running it on a relay or putting 1500w / 13 amps through it?
Not sure they are rated for that kind of load, maybe you unknowingly built in a fuse with the light power cord
