Alright, my Toastmaster griddle has finally gone to the great griddle resting place in the sky. But I kept the temperature control back in hopes of possibly adding this to my Brinkman for better temperature control than I get by just plugging the unit in.
I can provide pictures of the temp control if necessary. It is basically a 110 volt unit that has a dial on it, a temperature probe and two electrical "slots" where the element on the griddle slipped into.
Now I don't know jack about resistance, voltage, amps and such. In fact, electrical work in general is very intimidating to me. But I do know the basic concepts that are going on inside of the temperature control. If I modify my Brinkman to route power through this control do I need to be worried about ohms, amps and other scary electrical stuff? Of course, I would mount the temp probe somewhere inside the tank, preferrably near the upper rack since I use that one most often.
I know that this isn't the type of thread you might be comfortable replying to, but I would value any advice you have. I would like to gain the upper hand with this unit for those hot Kansas days that add an extra 30 degrees to the smoker.
Thanks all!
