First smoke today with the new element. Just put a tri-tip in the OBS. It is really windy today but the temp is very steady right a 225F and the recovery time is quick! It is really nice only having a 10 minute pre-heat time with the 60 degree temps outside 8) I have done over 10 hours of testing time on the element with no problems so far....

I just did a 10+ hr smoke/cook this weekend and was wondering if you plan to do any long term smoke/cook on that baby just to see how that element handles the long cooks.

Say a pork butt or brisket.  ;D

I have a 13lb butt in deep freeze that I plan on smoking in the OBS. I think it is going to be a major test for the element ;) Problem is finding the time to do it between work and kids ::)

Devo...

I'm in the same boat.  Bought  my DBS in Jan '11, original element died within 3 weeks,
replacement died today (8 hours into a pork shoulder ... I was lucky, the Maverick ET-732's
low-BBQ-temp alarm went off!)
