Re: heating elements from mile hi

Thanks to everyone for the advice. Think I knew the answer before i posted. Think i will stick with the internal heater just a little nervous about running it flat out. I remember reading something about the router contoller. Is there a post with a diagram of your set up? Thanks again everyone!
