Anyone made one? I acquired a drum and am leaning towards building an electric one. I am trying to figure out what type of element to use. Trying to figure out the difference between a dryer heating element and an oven one.

The one in the oven is definitely designed for around 450-500F+. My buddy has a horizontal oil drum smoker with an offset firebox that he added an oven element to in order to maintain temp while the wood burns down overnight before we start feeding it again the next morning.
Interesting concept... I am interested in coverting my Brick Horizontal smoker to electric using a oven element. For what it is worth, I made a electric kettle several years ago and it has worked great for me.

I would like to convert my smoker to electric but I have been unable to find any definate plans.
Any help would be appreciated.
