Converting Blanket Warmer to Smoker

[toxic0111]

I got a blanket warmer from a hospital and converted it with the Bradley smoke generator but the heating element that is in the warmer only produces about 150 degrees of heat, not enough to hot smoke or cook, my question is does anyone know where I can find the 500 watt heating element complete with the thermostat that is used in the BS's
Thanks

Hi Folks
More advice please
After completing my smoking project the inside of my cabinet is speckled with smoke tar et al. The aroma is absolutely fantastic but the inside of the cabinet obviously looks dirty. Do I wash and clean the insides down to pristine condition or do I leave it as is?. My thinking is the enclosed smell will help enhance future smokes, but am now worried that it could be unhealthy and unwise to leave it. As usual thanks in advance for your help ;)

I'm not sure how your post ended up here.

After each smoke I clean the door seal, "V" pan, built up grease or food matter that may be sticking to the sides, and of course the trays. If there are any flakes clinging to the sides I lightly brush them off with a wad of crumbled up newspaper or foil.

Periodically I will disassemble the vent, and open the generator cover and clean them.

What Hab said.  Keep smoke for flavor, dispose of food, clean potential problem areas.  Germs (if present) will not survive on smoke residue when you fire it up again. ;)
