It is certainly worth trying. But while you have the element loose, I would put it in your house oven and bake it for 30-40 min. There are posts in some forums that say some elements need to dry out after they haven't been used for awhile when they start tripping the GFCI breakers. Heating...

welcome to the forum. Tell us which smoker you bought.

Looks good. One of my favorite smokes is pulled pork.

Pleases tell us what type of breaker. IE standard house breaker or ground fault.

You will like the #3. I love mine. Just go easy on the wood for the first couple of smokes. Smokin-it smokers are more efficient than the masterbuilts for producing smoke flavor.

The #2 will be heavier than the bradley but it is moveable. I have the #1 that I take camping and it is easy to move and weighs about the same as a masterbuilt I use to have. My #3 is on a dedicated moveable stand so I don't have to pick it up. Get the #2, you will be smoking so much you won't...

First guess is the thermostat. They aren't that hard to replace.

Windex may work since it is done recently. Otherwise like Old Sarge said, use oven cleaner. After using oven cleaner, spray and wipe with vinegar to neutralize the cleaner.

Along with a cold smoker, I start with cold meat as well.
