Not sure how this will fly on here, but there are quite a few simple circuit solutions and discussion in this thread here: http://homedistiller.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3342Many of them use a dimmer driving an alternistor. Just adjust the dimmer to the level of boil you would like.
could it be as easy as setting the element to turn off when the boiling water hits 213F or 214F and then turns on again when it drop below 212?
I do have one thought. I run my current system with a BCS-460, so could it be as easy as setting the element to turn off when the boiling water hits 213F or 214F and then turns on again when it drop below 212?

I believe it is due to the gases of the boil interfering with the reading of the probe. It would either simmer or boil too hard, that is why I have it running on duty cycle rather than temp. YMMV
