New Element...not heating any at all now?!?
old sarge, wife already has me getting ready to do some ribs tomorrow for dinner. I had to at least put some soak mesquite chips in and get it smoking again.

That's a lot of help! Just ordered the high temp connectors and a package of 5 of the KSD 301 Switch exactly like the MES one for over $7. One review had a guy replace his on an MES with the new one and working perfect, plus I'll have 4 spares too.- notoriousgt350

New Element...not heating any at all now?!?
Busy weekend working. So, should I try to salvage my current disc or get a new one? Now if I understand correctly, if I get the B13701-54 L350F Flame Rollout Switch with temp limit of 350*, it will cut the power to the heating element at that temp?
