Description

River Country, one of your most respected manufacturers of Grill and Smoker Thermometers is proud to introduce the River Country Universal Electric Smoker / Grill Adjustable Heating Controller and Element. The matching heating controller and element are designed for the Barbecue Enthusiast who is designing and building their own electric smoker or grill and looking for an easy to use and install electric heating system. The controller and element can be added to many existing large smokers and grills if you're to incorporate in a separate food warmer area. The heating element and matching adjustable controller allows you to adjust the temperature from approximately 50 F up to 450 F, depending on size, construction and materials used in the smoker or grill. The heating element features an easy mount flange which requires a rectangular opening in the side of your grill or smoker of 2 5/8" by 1" for the removable controller attachment flange. The element mounting bracket allows for adjustable bolt mounting from 2 ¾" to 3 ½" on center and can be attached with user supplied bolts and nuts. The heavy duty 1500 watt element uses standard US 110 volts and come with 2" tall stabilizing supports for the ends of the element. The controller easily can be unplugged from the heating element for cleaning and storage and features an easy to adjust dial thermostat with a heating on indicator light. The controller is UL listed and has a heavy duty yet flexible 52" power cord for safe use of your grill or smoker year round. The River Country element and controller may be used as a general replacement for other brands of electric smokers and grills, however, please be sure to check your manufacturer's warranty and mounting requirements and sizing specifications as shown in the secondary product pictures.

    • 'Works in my Smoke Hollow 30168E (is that what some refer to as the 30" model - the cabinel it 30" high)I

I purchased this as a replacement for the original heat and control unit in my Smoke Hollow 30168E. This smoker actually has had very little use and very early on (while still under warranty) Smoke Hollow provided a replacement controller when it failed. 'Last time I used the smoker (maybe as much as two years ago) it worked just fine. In the meantime, it was stored inside and unplugged, and when I went to use it Sunday, it just kept popping the circuit breaker. I researched the internet and found a couple of sites willing to sell what was supposed to be original replacement units for nearly the full cost of replacing the entire smoker. It was a Sunday and Smoke Hollow doesn't list parts, prices, availability nor offer online orders on their site and, I figured they would likely want well over a hundred bucks for theirs, too. I have a multi-meter but my skills with understanding ohms/resistance are limited and I really was not able to determine whether he heating unit or the controller had failed. I found this combination unit at what seemed like a reasonable price, read the reviews and measured carefully. When it got here, I had to re-drill the two mounting holes. Everything else fit just fine. I thought I would have to bend or cut the "foot" tabs that suspend the heating element away from the smoker floor but, they easily articulate against the heating element to whatever position you need in order to set the heating element level. I wish the heating element had been just a little shorter (for a bit easier insertion into the smoker) and just a little bit narrower ( so that it would be just a bit farther from the smoker rear wall and the door - - but, it does fit and it doesn't touch the back or the door. As I indicated, I ordered this on Sunday, it arrived while I was out of town Tuesday. Today is Wednesday and it's installed and out there on the deck working like a champ. Another thing that swayed me to this unit and away from original equipment replacement was the much greater range of heat control. I never could get that original set-up below 250 degrees F - - - I smoke at a much lower temperature and longer time (while still achieving safe internal temperatures for the meat/fish/etc). I am maintaining it right at about 170 degrees F right now. 'Pretty happy all the way around! Don ... show more

    • Homemade smoker! woot!
I built my own smoker with a 55 gallon steel barrel and this thing works great. I smoked up a storm for the first couple years I had it then gave it to a friend. I would Definitely buy it again.

    • I wanted to use this to replace the heating element for an electric little red smoker.
This heating element has a temperature control which is fantastic! I wanted it to be a replacement for my little red smoker that had an electric heating element which didn't have a temperature control. It also was needing a longer time to cook. The new element needed some modification to use. I had hoped this element worked like an electric skillet in that the temperature control and the heating element would be in two pieces, and plug in together. To use this replacement some cutting of the smoker was required. I'm not sure if it was a good idea. For this reason I probably should have returned it. The heating element is well worth the money but wasn't a fit for my smoker. ... show more

    • Fits my 30" Masterbuilt smoker and works as expected

I picked up a used Masterbuilt 30" analog smoker for free because the old element was broken. I was a bit hesitant to buy this element because some reviews said they had to bend it to make it fit their smoker. I took the risk and bought it and was pleasantly surprised to find it fits perfectly and works as promised. As you can see in the pictures it is larger than the previous element, but still fits within my smoker without needing to bend. I mistakenly thought I needed to bend the legs at first but it turns out I didn't need to do that so I straightened them back out. The screw holes on this element didn't match what the previous element used so I drilled new holes and attached with new bolts. There is a slight gap above the area where the element goes through the smoker wall which causes moisture to leak through to the outside plug area when smoking. It hasn't been too much of a problem but it does cause me a little concern seeing moisture drip around the electrical thermostat control. I may need to find a way to fill that gap to prevent more leakage. I've been able to get the smoker up to 325 degrees with this element. I've smoked pork ribs and chicken legs and both smoked up as expected. Overall I'm very pleased with this purchase. The company even provided a bonus gift - a pair of "Gator Claws" - heavy-duty meat holders/grabbers/slicers/shredders that go over your knuckles. I haven't been able to use them yet, but expect to use them to shred smoked meat someday. ... show more

    • Perfect Replacement for Masterbuilt 30" Analog Smoker
What a great product! Bought this to replace element on my Masterbuilt Pro 30" Model No. 20070612 analog electric smoker. Fit perfectly. Did require temp removal of right rack support and drilling of 2 holes and purchase of 2 stainless steel bolts with washer and locking nut for about $4 at local Ace Hardware. You will need to remove old element and the element supports in this unit. Took about 5 minutes to install including drill time. Medium setting heated smoker to 250 degrees easily. High setting went well about 325 degrees. Smoked salmon, Portobello mushrooms and 4 ears corn last night. Started smoking chips at 200 degees. Held 250 perfectly. Family loved having smoked food again. Highly recommended if you have basic DIY skills. PS: River Country included a free gift of their Gator Claws which I plan to use next week on an 8# pork butt! Thanks River Country for bringing my Masterbuilt back at less than half the cost of the manufacturer. ... show more

    • Works great!
Purchased a used Kenmore smoker. After about a month, temp control knob had a short and literally melted. Temp control knob plugged directly into heater element. Since kenmore discontinued the item, we thought we'd have to throw away smoker. Happened to find this universal element. Hubby had to enlarge opening in side of smoker to accomodate new element. Other than that quick and simple modification, installed and works beautifully. ... show more
