Welcome to the Forum BrianW. Sorry to hear about your heating element. If you used (and tested) your "Fluke" Meter and your resistance is "0" then your element is toast.

Got the heating element and tested it, it read 29.4 ohms of resistance. I'm stalling it tomorrow . Then gonna try to smoke my first item
