UPDATE: So after two sausage smokes, 2 pastrami loaf smokes, 1 pork butt, and a whole chicken smoke I feel like I have discovered and confirmed my HeaterMeter PID tunings!
My new 100 Amp On/Off breaker switch I used to replace the cheapo Chinese melting On/Off rocker switches has showed no issues and worked like a champ, so that issue has been ironed out!
The convection fan mod is still working strong and the flipping of the heating element has shown no issues, so those mods are still good to go.
I now feel good posting about any of the mods I have made individually so others can understand and apply the mods for themselves if they like.
This is been a fun adventure and was really a challenge to get the HeaterMeter PID tunings figured out as well as figure out some of the other uncommon mods and their quirks.
I hope I can get some posting about these mods this week :)
