not sure what kind of kit you got but you need to start your sausage at a low temp say 120 degrees for an hour no smoke to dry the sausage then add smoke a pan of chips smoke for another hour at this low temp then bump up to 140 for an hour then up to 160 for an hour then up to 175 to finish when sausage temp is 152 the sausage is done remove and give a cold water bath till sausage is cold 20-30 min
depending on how big grampas smoker is a hot plate should work ok with a fry pan on top full of chips or a propane cooker be careful with the propane tho you do not want the smoker temp to go over 180 degrees good luck let me know if you need more help
happyness is a full smoker

Best advice I can give you is to listen to everything dogtuk has to say. He has helped me out alot, especially sausage. If the element is bad, might be cheaper to buy a new smoker for yourself. You can get into a decent electric smoker for around $60, just get a decent thermometer and you'll be good to go.

I would suggest buying a battery operated thermometer with the wired probes to monitor the internal temperature of the sausage.  Also make sure your kit is one that is for smoking.  Smoking sausage requires a curing agent or bad juju can grow in the sausage.  Smokers are perfect mediums for botulism (moist, low temps, low oxygen).  Look in the ingredients for InstaCure, Prague Powder, etc.

And listen to everything Dogtuk has to say.
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice
