Seems like I recall there was an ECB mod forum, but I couldn't find it, so here I am.
A couple of years ago, I modded (mod-ded???) a bullet smoker a couple of years ago...
...but I got frustrated with it, walked away for a couple of years, and recently purchased a propane smoker (with which I'm VERY happy so far even though I'm still "getting to know" it, so to speak).
NOW, since I already HAVE the mod and wish to be able to smoke sausages at temps lower than my propane can go without MORE mods, I'm thinking I'll convert the bullet mod from charcoal to electric.
I've been scouring the forum looking for info and "think" I have a handle (albeit a LOOSE handle) on how I can do this without breaking the bank, so I ordered a 1200W adjustable hot plate that says it doesn't cycle.
Considering the design of my mod (see pic above), I'll place it in the bucket base, but in order to AVOID having to lift everything ABOVE the bucket off to adjust the temp, I'll need some way to either mount it so the control is accessible from the outside or some sort of temperature controller wiring ran through to the INSIDE.
So, I'm wondering if this is a way to go...

Thoughts? I'm quite handy as far as mad scientist/crazy inventor stuff goes, but I'm NOT very knowledgeable about electricity, volts, wattage, etc.
