Can any of you recommend an economical thermostat for a hot box?

The one I use came from Binghams. Very reasonably priced, simple inline installation and is set for about 168deg(F). I got it when I built my hot box(also a Bingham design) when I tried to build a glass lam bow.

Thanks guys. I had looked at grainger, but what I was finding was around $100. $8 is much better.
