Hey Everyone!

Newbie here currently working on constructing my first electric smoker using a combine muffler of all things haha. 

Would anyone be able to provide some guidance and what size/wattage of heating element I should be looking into? The total volume I am looking to heat is approx. 8.5 cu ft. Any help/thoughts/advice/concerns/questions is greatly appreciated. 

Thanks in advance!
 
Ya, I posted it in the wrong forum originally and was asked to relocate it. Sorry for the confusion!
