Here's an FYI. There's a vendor on ebay selling temperature process contollers for under $50. They've gone up in price a little bit since I bought one a few weeks ago but still far less than what you would normally pay for an EGT guage. A process controller displays the temperature but it also has relay outputs designed to control things like heating and cooling processes. I have an output going to a buzzer. The maximum is set to 1600°F, so if the temp. goes over, the alarm sounds. It could also be used to cut spark or fuel relays.
