I am planning on moving the heating element of the oven from the top to the bottom and then cutting a hole in between the two ovens for the smoke to pass through and then I will see how it vents to then determine if I need to add a stack for the venting. The questions I have are.

-the pass through hole for the smoke to pass into the upper oven should it place in the center of the oven or offset it for the "reverse flow" if a stack is needed.

-What size should the pass through hole be?

-If I run the oven on 110V instead of 220V should it still be operational or will the draw on amps make it inoperable?

Thanks.

I converted the oven to a smoker. I used a PID and tested the heating element and it heated over 280 degrees. I cut the bottom of the oven to expose the heating element and now I can barely get it to heat over 140 degrees. Do I need to cover the heating element?
 
Were you running the same voltage before and after cutting? Did you decide to go with 120 or 220v? A 220v rated element only runs at I think it's 1/4 the wattage when you are running it from a 120v source.
