Heating element

[K-stater]

Seasoning my 3 now and noticed my heating element is not straight, should I be concerned about this?

Please define 'not straight'.  If it is securely fastened to the back wall, you are OK.  If you are referring to it not being perfectly centered relative to the wood box support, you are still OK.

 

[K-stater]

Yes it is secured, just off center. Thank you for answering my question.

 

[old sarge]

Good to go.

If the box fits over it, don't worry.  Same here on skew slant,

I think that a little slant if typical for these smokers. My also came that way.
