    Need advice on installing vents on Masterbuilt 30" analog electric

    I actually had the same set up you do. I upgraded the heating element to 1500w and got an Auber Instruments smoker controller. I had a Masterbuilt Cold Smoker Attachment, so I used a 3" hole saw to cut a hole on the right side to connect it. Cold smoker quit so I converted to the mailbox mod...

    Question about heat element placement.

    It is showing, its where it says RelayAction: Off. I am attaching pictures of yours and mine that I have set to be on. It is a bit complicated, but I would be glad to try to help you set it up when you get to that part if you want.

    My wife asked for reverse seared rib-eyes for Valentines Day dinner. The weather station a mile away reads 0° with a -13° windchill and the probes in my MES 40 cabinet read 13°. The Auber controller has the cabinet up to 151° after only 5 minutes.

    Bypassing the Factory Controller

    So you are saying to splice the red wire marked with and R in the picture below and the black wire marked with B in the picture? I am not real electrically savvy and want to make sure I am getting it right. I am also attaching a picture of my element connections if that helps.
