OK, I have searched the forums but have been coming up blank. I have an old used Southbend gas convection oven that I am converting to an electric smoker. The convection holes will be insulated and closed off. There will be a chimney on top. It is 4" and has a damper. I will be using my Smoke Daddy for smoke generation.
This is the type of oven I am converting:

I am intersted in utilizing the following PID:

I am also looking at using this element with the PID:
http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/VULCAN-Stainless-Steel-Finned-Strip-Heater-4E267?Pid=search
So, before I plunge into a purchase, I need some help from those with experience. One of my main concerns is weather the element will get the oven hot enough or not? I want to be able to occasionaly get up to 350F for poultry.
Any input? Any other advice?
Thanks,
Dave
