Element went out. Called customer service...apparently the element is permanent part of the smoker box. :( After some conversations, they agreed to send me a brand new smoker (although in black and not stainless) for like $50 off retail. It arrived today.

My question is, what do I do with the old one? I've thought about just piping smoke into it and using as a cold smoker as it is insulated. Any other suggestions???
