finished my build!! Almost.... PICS

[kmart]

Hey guys! I just finished my first electric smoker build... Well the shell anyway. Took me awhile!! I'm trying to source an element for this thing. It is fairly large and would like to get some temps up to 350 or so. Outside dimensions are 40"X40"X72". Aluminum on the outside, steel on the inside with 1" Rock wool insulation. This thing is a TANK!! I've found a PID controller that I like.

So where can I find a good element for this thing?

That looks great. You are probably going to want to go with a 240 not a 120 element. I'd source one from an appliance repair shop, or online.

Ya I figured I would have too. What kind of wattage would you guys recommend I try to go for?

2600-2800
