I originally went to my local Air Conditioning & Heating supplier, he knew exactly what I was talking about.
These devices are used in things like home heaters and dryers to prevent overheating, they are meant to replaced, if needed.
He gave me an old one to test, just to see if it would work, I tried it, it worked fine.
The only problem was we did not know the tripping temperature of the item, but it proved my point.
Today, on
Amazon.com, I found what looks to match the temperature range I think I need, below you will see what I ordered, cost is $6 for 5.

Amico 5 Pcs KSD301 Temperature Control Switch Thermostat 150 Celsius N.C.[/h1]
150 Celsius converts to
302 Fahrenheit, the max. temp for the
MasterBuilt Electric is 275deg. so I figured 302 would be safe.
The item comes in Jan. 2nd.
I will let you know how it goes!!
Happy New Year,
