Smoking Fanatic
~~~I received my new Auber PID controller. I went with the WS 1200 since I have several temp. gauges with probes and did not want to invest 180.00. I may be sorry later but right now I am very happy. We had a break in the weather last week and I cut my old cord(16/3) and removed my data plate for Masterbuilt. I found some high temp push on connectors at a local hardware store that sells a lot of heating elements. I happened to have a 1/2 " strain relief That is a conduit fitting that supports SO cord. I had a piece of 14/3 SO cord. I screwed the inspection plate to a scrap piece of wood to support it while I used a hole saw to cut the hole for the strain relief I used a existing interior screw to attach the ground and hooked up the hot and neutral wires(Black and white) I had run out of time and had to finish up quickly. Then the cold and snow returned so that cost me another week but yesterday It was 40+ so I hooked it up and it ran great. I think we will have another break in several days after the next cold spell in the 20's and lows in the low teens. That is about as cold as it gets in central VA. I will be smoking soon. I got to thinking that a little more information might be good to have. A good place to find amperage values of your wire and wire adaptors can be found at this link http://www.stayonline.com/nema-straight-15-amp-adapters.aspx Their prices look good but I don"t know about there shipping rates. The connectors and fittings can also be found at a electrical supply house. You will find a counter man that is willing to work with you. Jted
