    Heating element cord question

    So, it sounds like if I keep the temp under the 90c/220f range (which I would never want to get that high) then I should be ok.   Do you think that this 1 1500w element would be enough to get a 48" Lang (1/4 inch steel) up to 180?

    Adding electric smoking to Lang 48" Patio smoker

    Moving a post over here from the the Wood Smoker section as I have questions on how to add an electric heating element to my Lang 48" Patio The main reason to do this is so I can smoke sausage in the 120-170 range.  I think building a fire with wood/charcoal would be too hard to keep these low...
