I have poured over hundreds if posts and am still unclear of what to buy for my controller. I have a 220V element I want to use. Can one of you experienced studs suggest a list if essentials needed. I want to get quality parts, and am an overkill kind of guy. I would really appreciate a full list and would forever be grateful.

you need an SSR that is controlled by a potentiometer (input measured in Ohms); and a pot in the right range for the input. Pretty straightforward and cheap. A suitable size box, and some 10-12 gauge braided cord.

You'll need a heatsink for the SSR, don't forget thermal paste.
