But the nut juuuuuuust barely is smaller than the hole.Just thought if I could slide on a bigger washer with...

    Using wood

    Thanks for the info. I look forward to using it.. And as far as my chip box, it has like a 1/2" rim that runs all around the top and the box actually sits down in a frame with that rim sitting flush at the top and has a lid.. therefore it sits down like the depth of the box maybe 3 inches right...

    Using wood

    Thank you, thats what I thought as well. Trial and error I guess.. Ill try the tray and the tube and see how it goes.. Then Ill try I guess.....to open the lower drawer a tad.... Even using the factory chip box that has a lid on it gives pretty good smoke, it just doesnt last , I try to use a...

    Using wood

    Well lets see.. below the door are 2 drawers the top drawer is deeper than the lower one. The lower one is where the drip pan sits, which rarely gets dripped on.. The upper drawer which is directly under the door houses the chip tray which is directly over the element and to the left is the...

    Location of thermometer

    Yes I have kinda checked the location out and it will fit on the side fine I think between a couple shelves. It is a 3 inch probe, and yes I have a nut. I bought a step drill bit, I was needing to get one anyway. I thought about the door too but it is thicker than the side..They sent me a Bung...

    Using wood

    Yeah I wasnt gonna put pellet tray right over the element. The tray would help with not having to add chips to the chip tray so would past longer. How much MORE heat is generated by using the chip box than not using it at all ?

    Using wood

    Thanks.. and yeah I wasnt gonna put the tray directly over the element.. just sit it on a shelf, but wondered since I have the tray, do I even need the chip box? Sounds like maybe use them both.. it is gonna(Id think) generate heat itself since it is a metal box.

    Using wood

Currently the wood chip with a lid container sits lower right corner with water pan to the left of it. The chip box is removeable but sits directly above the heating element... I...

    Location of thermometer

    I also was thinking maybe a hole saw. Ill need to do a 7/8 hole..Not sure exactly where to do this, Maybe half way up on the side? Guess I could to on the top but not sure that temp is accurate at the top.. I have 4 racks and the door latches, is pretty tight..

    Location of thermometer

    So would one use it INSTEAD of the small chip box over the element or use them both ? And would u just sit it on a shelf in the smoker ? does it produce heat as well or just smoke?

    Location of thermometer

    Yeah I can try that... Was wondering....I assume heating the wood chop box up which sits rover the heating element helps in the heating of the smoker itself.. Have you or anyone used this if more smoke is wanted? https://www.homedepot.com/p/A-MAZE-N-5x8-in-Smoker-Maze-AZACC005840064/301426353

    Location of thermometer

    I have a Landsmann Elec. smoker, not sure the thermometer is working.. So I purchased a LavaLock 3 inch thermometer. The smoker has several shelves inside.. Where is the best place to install the new thermometer and do I need any type of gasket as it didnt come with one, just a large nut? It is...
