Looking at the design Bruce the 1M pot (P1) resitor varies the duty cycle so you can try different duty cycles.
Yes, but the pulse frequency is always one pulse per second (with variable duty cycle), this means on low setting it will get a tiny blip of power once per second.. I'm probably way off beam but I thought maybe that was too slow and would allow the element to cool too much before the next pulse.. eg rather than a nice low even heat you would a more pronounced heating & cooling cycle which might not be as good?
