Information
The heating element is the very heart of your Borniak smoke generator. It is this element that provides exactly the right temperature when the wood chips are fed forward, allowing the wood to smolder perfectly and create the clean, white smoke we desire. Like all heating elements in continuous operation, it will experience wear and tear over time. When the power decreases or the element burns out, this original spare part is exactly what you need to get your smoker back in absolute top shape.

This package comes complete and includes the heat shield itself that lies over the heating element. The shield has an incredibly important function as it protects the actual heating coil from direct ash and dirt from the chips, while evenly distributing the heat over the entire surface. By replacing both the element and the shield at the same time, you ensure optimal operation, minimize the risk of the chips catching fire, and guarantee that your ingredients are only exposed to aromatic and clean smoke.
To prolong the life of your new heating element, you should make it a habit to brush the generator clean of ash after every single smoking session. A clean shield transfers heat much more efficiently and prevents the element from working harder than necessary.

FAQ Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my heating element is broken?
The clearest sign is that the smoke generator feeds chips as normal, but the chips do not turn into smoke when passing the heating plate. If the element no longer gets red hot when the machine is turned on, it is time to replace it.
Is it difficult to change the heating element myself?
No, the replacement is a simple process for the vast majority. Always ensure the power is disconnected before you begin. It only requires standard tools to loosen the old element and secure the new one safely in place in the generator.
Why is it important to replace the shield at the same time?
The shield is exposed to enormous heat and acidic gases from the smoke over time. This causes it to gradually deform or rust, resulting in poorer heat transfer. A new shield protects the new heating coil and ensures optimal smoldering from the very first second.
