Mes 40 gen1 rewire

[hooked on smoke]

I searched for a old post on rewiring an Masterbuilt digital smoker and can not find what I'm looking for.
It was a detailed instruction with pictures of the new wires made up with stainless connectors.
I am in need of a rewire and that post would be very helpful for a electronically challenged person like myself.
I see the " No back removal" thread which is awsome, thanks you for sharing, but the one I'm looking for had more detail.
Online know which one I'm talking about?

Maybe tallbm will chime in. He knows alot about them and rewiring them. He will put you on the right track. There are others too, but their names won't come to mind at the present.

When I opened it up, the wiring looked nothing like the OPs and I though I was in trouble - I an good with my hands, but technically ignorant. When I saw martcrn's pics I...

Thanks for the replies.
The thread I'm looking for had photos of the old vs new wires laid out with the new connector ends. And another of detail.
Ah, this is bugging me.
My apologies. I should have copied the thread.

It's Alive! The Auber Masterbuilt hybrid. The Frankenbuilt

First and foremost I need to give a big shout out to TallBM and Dr. K for their posts regarding wiring a Auber controller to the Masterbuilt smoker. Since I got my 40" 2nd gen Masterbuilt I have always been disappointed with the +-20 deg.temp swings that I always got when smoking sausage at low...
