Product review (5 stars): Using In Electric Smoker
I use this as the heating element in my electric smoker. This very popular and common smoker manufacturer can't seem to make heating elements that last more than a year or two, and discontinue the element after about 3 years and want you to buy a new smoker. Soooo .... I modified my smoker to use an 8" stove top element with a drip bowl. Been using like this for 6 years. Just replace the element and drip bowl every few years for $12. It's Great!

Please know what you're doing if you are going to modify your smoker!!!! You can be electrocuted!!!
