Thanks for all the ideas so far. I searched on ebay and found a line of KSD301/302 temp switches. 301's are normally closed whereas 302's are normally open. They are available in 5 deg C increments from 40C to 160C.
So I plan to order a couple of 302's each, at 40C and 50C. They are simple inline hookup, 10 Amp rated, surface mount, with spade lug connectors, and only about a buck each. Perfect for what I need. Simple on-off switching, but that should be fine as grj suggested.
Thanks all, Rod
