    is this as simple as unplugging the wires to the thermostat and hooking them back into each other?

    hot plate blues

    hot plate blues

    thanks for the info. i have the hotplates cord exposed very little to heat. i double taped them and they exit to the rear of hotplate. when i bypass the thermostat that means i have no control correct? thanks

    ge 1000 watt hot plates

    i will either do that or add a round plate with two holes the size eyes above them so only the heating element is exposed to heat.

    ge 1000 watt hot plates

    i converted my 55 gal drum smoker to electric using 2,1000 watt ge hot plates.i am going to use one for the smoke and one for heat. will the cords and units take the 180 deg heat with the units sitting on bricks or should i get some split wire shields like on car wires around engine?

    How to stuff 1.5" casings?

    make sure soaked casings are knifepoint pricked to let air out also.

    brinkman electric converter

    would a 1500 watt brinkman electric heating element be enough to get an uds to 220 degrees? i see it has chip box mounted on top but has no thermostat. i can always open a stack on top if too hot. its either that or 2, 1000 watt hot plates. smoking summer sausage only.thanks.
