Reply to "using my SM008 on European 240v"

I'd be interested in your advice from CS.

BTW, a transformer will only draw neglagible power until something is tied to it.. like your smoker.

Your CS draws 500W.. I don't know what it draws at startup.. but likely a bit more trying to bring the coil up to heat.. but, essentially 500W. You don't want to crowd that too much as you overheat the xfmr which is not good for it.. and probably not good for the CS as it would be almost like using an undersized extension cord.. which has been discussed before.

So, all in all.. I don't see how tying up to the military supplied transformer would be any different than what you are trying to purchase for a specific application. The cost of electricity should be no more.
