Ranco ETC-111000 Digital Temp Controller + Ranco vs Inkbird
Ranco ETC (Electronic Temperature Controller) model 111000. Single stage digital temp controller,
- Use as an overriding thermostat to control your compatible kegerator chest freezer, refrigerator or fermentation chamber. I believe this is an unwired unit. If that’s the case, you need to manually wire it yourself.
- Why would you choose this over something like the Inkbird Dual Stage Temp Controller? The Ranco is generally more expensive and offers fewer features when compared to the ITC-308. In my opinion, the advantage that the Ranco does have is ruggedness. These are built for commercial applications. This question in my mind is… do you need a rugged commercial quality unit? If yes, then this is a controller you may want to look at.
