Big Chief power cable

[Bifmalibu]

Hey. Anybody have a power cable for a big chief(probably little chief as well) I could borrow? I've got a batch in the brine and planning to smoke tonight only to discover my cord is missing to my big chief. Probably still packed away in a box from the last move.

I'm in Nanaimo.

Thanks!

I think they use an IEC-320-C13 cable. You can get them anywhere, just make sure it’s 18 awg or numerically lower (larger gauge)

 

[Bifmalibu]

Thanks for that. Can you recommend a place to look? Lots of stuff online, not sure where to head locally.

Most likely a computer or electronics supply store. Not sure if the big box electronics places will stock them

 

[Bifmalibu]

Yeah I'm googling away here, seems like it's a computer cord. Might be hard to find.

Everyone with a computer has a few of these laying around

walmart probably has them.

Check thrift stores too, usually they have a bunch of cables for sale

Just post a photo of one on facebook or text a geak buddy, they are also used for TV's too. I have tons of them, I'd give you one with a box of 20 other cords, just I'm in Victoria.

Printers and desktop computers had these.
Check yours to see if you can borrow for the night smoke.

I ended up making a cable. It works. Smoke will be made.

Hopefully the only smoke will be inside the smoker!

Remember, electronics work on magic smoke. If you let all the magic smoke out, they stop working.

 

[Bifmalibu]

Maybe I need some magic smoke of my own?

For future reference,Value village in Coquitlam has tons of them.So I imagine Nanaimo does also.

For future reference, there are tons of these things being saved be idiots just like me.
When I need one, it will be packed in some box somewhere I do not want to go!

If you don’t have a box of random and obsolete cables, are you even a real hoarder?

My home built cord was perfect.
