The terminal strip and Solid State Relay were next -- I chose a spot on the back panel just above the socket for the smoke box connector

** NOTE that this is the WRONG PLACE to mount the SSR, it interferes with the internal shelf -- DON'T mount the SSR in this location **

THE SSR can be located over the louvered opening on the left side of the unit.






I next mounted all of the parts, and wired the controller to the front panel toggle switch and the SSR.

I lifted the hot conductor originally going to the smoke box, and ran that to the toggle switch and ne side of the SSR.  The other side of the SSR goes to the smoke box connector, and an additional wire goes from the smoke box hot to the other side of the toggle switch. 

In one position, the temperature controller is powered, and 'HOT' for the smoke box comes through the SSR. n the other position of the toggle switch, the temperature controller gets NO power, instead the power goes directly to the smoke box connector.

After wiring everything up, checking three times, I applied power without the
thermocouple, and saw 'EEEE' when the toggle switch was in 'controller' mode -- That's GOOD!

EEEE indicates the thermocouple is not attached.
