Thanks for the reply Dave. I checked my connections on my heating element, everything looks good there. I don't not anything about relays. I'm still in the process of learning how my PID works, but "as I understand it, when I plug my PID in, and set temp 1, it should light up the "out" light on my PID which means it's powering the heating element. This is what I did when I seasoned it, and it worked great. Now when I set temp one, I can't get the "out" light to light up which makes me think the element is burnt out.
I built this smoker at my office where I have more access to the tools i needed for the build. I also seasoned it at my office. I moved it to my house yesterday, I have it hooked up in my garage, I don't think there is any electrical issues from powering it in my garage that would be causing my problems? But I don't much about electrical either.
