hello everyone. first post here.
a friend of mine gave me a broken MB 30" digital smoker. he said he left it out in the rain and the control panel shorted out. i figured i could convert it to a analog smoker by bypassing the controller and somehow use a thermostat control cord. after taking the smoker apart i have found i can access the heating elements connections but not sure if i can hook up the kind of control to it as i was thinking. does anyone have any advice on what to do? it would be great if i can just use the same elements and not have to rip out everything and drill holes in the box to fit a new heating element.
