What does everyone think about this model of Variac: PHC Enterprise SC-3M 300 VAC Max, 0-130v output. 3amp? Is there a newer version or better version to get? Trying to get it right the first time.

My personal opinion is that any Variac is overkill. I used mine for 2+ years. Now it's a doorstop.
Save your money for beans. GregR has recommended it from the get-go, and ....he was right. Now I have one too. It's so much cheaper and does what needs to be done. Sorry I don't have a link handy.
I know, I know, I know. We all said Variacs were important, but remember we were all beginners at the same time, and now some of us know better....

Thank You! I just found the thread with GregR about Variac vs dimmer.

I still use a variac but is only because that is what I started out with. I don't pay much attention to the power applied to the exhaust fan as much as I do the sound it generates. Long story short, I don't think having fine grained control over the fan is that imperative to my roasts.
