Help Converting a gas upright to electric.

[smoknpi]

I am going to try to convert my burned out gas burner in my smokey mountain upright smoker to electric. I was wondering if anyone has done this successfully. Ive seen elements made for other electric smokers that I will probably go with but was just curious if there were any problems that you may have run into along the way. I assume as long as it fits in the smoker I would be good. Thanks for any advise or info!

if you google sous vide controlers. you can make fully digital contrller for about $50 in parts from amazom. mine works both for controling my inlaws crappy electric smoker which has no controles. and for my extra fridge when drying meats. quite a usefull device.
