    Source for element, thermostat, etc?

    Does anyone know what the diameter of that Brinkmann electric element is?  I'm hoping I can use it in my uds but can't find any specifications on this site or the greater internet. Also, a pizza place closed by me recently, and I salvaged a long straight heating element from the garbage.  What...
