Nyle L200M control wiring

Finally able to get back on my kiln chamber build. I have built a Controller cabinet attached to the outside of the kiln chamber. I was originally going to just drill holes thru the back of it for wiring. Now after reading several posts about leakage thru these holes I'm wondering if it would be better to come out of the cabinet and then thru the chamber wall? This has some negatives I can think of mainly wires exposed to the elements. I guess you could use wire loom where exposed or conduit with the cover left off an LB. Am I over thinkin this? Either way I was going to run conduit thru the wall with a CGB fitting on each side for the power cord. On the fan wires and sensor wires I was going to spray foam to seal. Is there something better, I can see that being a pain when replacing?

Most do the conduit and foam for going through the wall. Remember to do 2 of them, one for power and the other for sensors

Will it seal good enough that you won't be leaking into the control cabinet?

I used a reefer container but I think it applies to what you're doing here, here's a few photos of mine.

On the back side of the junction box is 5 holes drilled for rubber grommets too. I thought I might get away with the grommets and left as is but about half way into the first cycle I added auto vents and I noticed when I pulled the cap off it had condensation inside it.

So after adding the vents I siliconed around the grommets (inside junction box), didn't see it in there next time I checked. My thinking initially was after completing the wiring, stuff it full of expanding foam and secure the cap quickly. I may put another ethernet cable through the last 5th hole (currently has earplugs in it xD) and then do that. But the silicone has stopped any leaks.
