Thanks guys! I found a nice thick pan for chips it worked great to season for about 8 hrs today then a friend said he though aluminum was toxic if heated very high. Thanks for the comforting comments !

The aluminum will burn and put aluminum particles in the air and on the food... Not good... Usually W-mart has the SS thin pans from a Big Chief smoker that works very well.... they heat up fast and transfer heat rapidly to the chips... and they last forever... I'm using one that's about 30 years old...

I learned something. Doesn't mean I will stop baking cakes in my aluminum pan since aluminum is in the mixes...

Pulled pork....... Turned out to be chopped pork. Not quite long enough in the box I guess. Was a solid 8 hrs but I think I opened it to many times :/ meat temp was 195f though I did pull it right at 195 maybe should have left it in another hour?

Yep, when it hits 205°, wrap your butt in foil when you take it off the smoker, then wrap in towels and let rest in a clean, empty cooler for an hour or two (or more). This makes all the difference in the world.

Got the heating element installed and the gasket on the door
What heating element did you end up using? Can you provide a link?
Also, do you use a PID controller?
Great build!

Here is the element, I had to make a pocket out of steel to inset the element because the back wall was to thick.
