3" = 7" sq. in. hydraulic volume...
was requested to fix a water heater today, the problem... a thermal cutout. This would be another option in preventing flare ups. Which, btw I had my first one yesterday. I was outside shoveling the deck and started smelling plastic burning. Ran to the smoker and the heat element was basically on fire, I think some wiring underneath must be burnt (plastic smell) I had already pulled the turkey, so just the potatoes were affected. The cause was my fault, I put the chips on the heater element instead of the smoker element. ( smoker is on a rheostat)Darned if I know.... I do know I wish I had it on my smokers....
