When I plug it in the element comes on the controller is off. Ideas
 
Time to get an Auber PID and bypass all the electronics on the controller panel. Will make a much better smoker for you with more controllable temps.

Many of us run this unit

Relay on the board in the bottom has welded it's contacts in the on position. Replace the board, if it is still available, or better, rewire per instructions above and buy a PID controller for a significant improvement in your smoker.
