Hello
I installed the second heating element last summer some time. I use the ws-1200 also. I can say it one of the best mods I have done. It heats up very quick, And it recovers in less then half the time when meat is inserted. Also with the controller it is nice for setting up finish times and temps. because if you go by what most people recommend for the time it takes to get the internal temp to what you want. you have over cooked it by hours most of the time. I just smoked two racks of chicken legs. 220 deg. Only took a little over two hours to reach 165 internal temp. I thought my temp gauge on the Aubrey was wrong so I checked it with two different thermometers. Yep it was done that fast. So I had to foil and wrap the meat tell the rest of dinner was done.
I got every thing I needed from.

Keep in mind this was in the middle of winter in Iowa about 10deg outside.
Let me know if you have any questions.
I also got my controller from Auberins. and they have great customer service.
