    Dishwasher Mailbox AMNPS Mini-Smokehouse

    Again, thanks for the insight. Water good, steam not so much.  And, 212 degrees is as hot as it would get anyway.   225-300 for temperature variance is ideal. For all you Auber recommenders, I agree.  However, I've got $30 into this unit thus far.   What I do like about the Auber is the...

    So, I checked out a Kill-A-Watt meter from the library and plugged in the salvaged dishwasher element.  I started at 800 watts and after a few minutes was down to around 400.  I then hooked it into the appropriate spot in the old dishwasher and plugged in the meter and found the same thing...

    Thanks Folks, I took the heating element out of the dishwasher and unfortunately, I disposed of it.  I like the idea shared about how to utilize the dishwasher element with a permanent dimmer switch. Yesterday, I damaged the handle and noticed that the frame holding the unneeded keypad was...
