    You’re the man! I hate electrical stuff, but I almost feel like I have the answer but the last thing I wanna do is hook it up and fail…. I’m pretty sure I’m going to just split it to a 4 prong splitter instead of the 3 prong I have now….. I’d want to hook it up NC Here is the actual button if...

Now I’m wondering if I need to get a 4 prong switch thing instead of the 3 prong…. Positive prong one to...

    Trying to figure out the next addition

    So my concern with it is not having a big enough offset that I can’t have a log fire and not having to burn small sticks I had to load up every 20 minutes…. Is 36” that minimum for that

    Trying to figure out the next addition

    So I’m in the process of buying a used smoker, used because new is so expensive and used is nice because most these people just trying to find someone to remove it for them, so tons of savings…. I really want an offset and the only reason the Komodo Joe series 3 is in there is because it’s only...

    Tons of good info here, I’m actually going to go the male extension cord route female route…. The thing that has me scratching my head is that the male hot is going to both to the SSR and the PID, which is confusing me how that works…. The only thing I can figure is that I’ll get a wire nut...
