Mes rewiring

[hooked on smoke]

I've read a lot of shares on rewiring Mes 30s. I am not able to locate any suppliers that sell 12 gauge hi temp wire by the foot. Anyone have any ideas?

I've read a lot of shares on rewiring Mes 30s. I am not able to locate any suppliers that sell 12 gauge hi temp wire by the foot. Anyone have any ideas?

I found a few options from Amazon with this search phrase:

"12 AWG wire high temp"

Even more options with this search phrase:

"12 AWG wire"

Are you replacing all wiring or just adding/splicing new wiring in with existing wiring?

Plan on a complete rewire. My old smoker died and want to rewire it for my dad. I have a new heating element and and thinking of doing a PID setup for him.
Bottom line, I can't find wire sold by the foot.
I did Google and call several places but they dont sell other than minimum 25' spools.???
I'll try again.
Thanks for the help!

Well if you have no luck and you decide to go with the existing wiring (provided it is not burned up) let me know and I can give you some tips on how to rewire without needing to pull the back off the smoker. 

You just need a multimeter with a continuity setting (most have it) in addition to wire cutting, crimping, splicing tools and hi temp steel connectors :)

TallBM,
very cool. I may take you up on that.
Thanks

If you leave the cover plate off the back wires will not overheat.
I got a PID controller off of tomtop dot com its a heating only PID for $10.05 sorry dont have the part#
Go to amazon and order2 type k thermocouples for 6 bucks and a solid state relay 25amp with 3-32 v dc control, and o ly other thing you will need is a small power supply that has a dc output, i have less than $20 bucks in it and it works awesome!
