Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method of controlling the temperature of the contents of a container with a heat source, the method comprising the steps of: providing a temperature system; providing a processor on the temperature system; providing a temperature sensor connected to the processor on the temperature system; with the temperature sensor, detecting a first current temperature of the contents of the container; providing the first current temperature as input to the temperature system processor; computing temperature data for the container with the temperature system processor; with the temperature system, transmitting the temperature data as a temperature signal; providing a controller system; providing a processor on the controller system; preprogramming a high temperature value and a low temperature value and storing the high and low temperature values as input to the controller system processor; receiving temperature signals with the controller system; computing valve control data based on the high and low temperature values and temperature data with the controller system processor; with the controller system, transmitting the valve control data as a valve control signal; providing a valve control system; providing a processor on the valve control system; receiving the valve control signal with the valve control system; providing the heat source with an inlet valve for controlling the heat added to the contents of the container; and controlling the inlet valve using the valve control signal.
