I was going to replace the burner when I was at Walmart the other day but the burner does not look like the two they had there. They were kind of horseshoe plug in type of elements kind of like a stove top. Is there actually different versions? Here is my burner. May be an antique little cheif.n The wires run to the underside and it is complete one peice not even element looking to me or am I missing something?

Alright searched for awhile and the damn burner for this is $29.95. Versus the $6 one. Also the other little cheif is like 250 watts and this one is 175. Might as well buy a brand new smoker but is it likely that the burner is bad if it will reach 120 degrees? Don't they either work or don't work. Not really half way?
