The Digital Smokers (BTDS76P & BTDS108P) / Re: digital smoke generator
Last post by crabwise - March 09, 2024, 11:45:31 AMThanks. A search for bradley bypass cord didn't return anything. Do you have a link. I found the bypass plug, but I'd like to look at the cord and directions for splicing, or making one before I buy it.
The link in your reply above points to a connectix axis.
Thanks again.

A post from over 16 years ago??? I highly doubt that person still even has that smoker.

The Digital Smokers (BTDS76P & BTDS108P) / Re: digital smoke generator
Last post by Habanero Smoker - March 06, 2024, 03:21:09 PMHi crabwise,
Welcome to the forum.
With the digital generator, the sensor cord has to be attached from the generator to the back of the cabinet to work. To get around to not having to do this, the easiest way is to purchase a bypass plug. This plug closes the circuit, and the generator "detects" that the sensor cord has been plugged in both ends.
Yard & Pool sells them. Or you can do a search for "bradley smoker bypass plug". Most vendors sell them for around $9. You just plug it into the back of the generator
Bypass Plug
Other's have spliced the wire to make it longer, or purchased a longer cord; so when you detach the generator, the sensor cord will be long enough so you can still plug it from the generator to the cabinet.
The best solution is to purchase a bypass cord. If you are comfortable with diy projects, do a search for "bypass cord", you will find directions on how to make one.

The Digital Smokers (BTDS76P & BTDS108P) / digital smoke generator
Last post by crabwise - March 06, 2024, 11:27:22 AMI bought the 4 rack digital smoker to replace my old original bradley smoker. I built a cold smoke box that I used with the original smoke generator, but when I set up the new digital smoke generator with it, it would turn on. Do I need to do something special for this to work? Thanks.

Last post by Habanero Smoker - March 06, 2024, 03:10:38 AMHi Gilbo2000,
Welcome to the forum.
You best bet would be to check with the place you purchased your Bradley from. I know that Bradley has distributors in Australia, but I couldn't find their Australia website.
You can go to the main Bradley website. Once at the site click on the American flag, and that will give you choices of the various countries. Australia is not listed, but you may recognize a country nearby that can provide you with a 240v generator.

Last post by Annata23 - March 05, 2024, 12:27:42 AMQuote from: meathead2005abc on August 20, 2020, 04:38:52 PMYes, it should be addressed in another articleQuote from: Askmeoffers8 on August 20, 2020, 06:14:37 AMHello, I smoke with an old 4-rack manual slider smoker with a home built PID for many years. Now I have a new 6-rack smoker with the dial temp control, connections nyt and a new dual probe PID from Auber instruments. The second usage today and I put two pork targets in and after a few hours the PID overheat alarm went off, and the smoker temperature was 300 degrees (PID set at 225). Even after turning off and back the PID on the heating elements (did the mod dual heat bars) glowed red. Way too hot. What went wrong?
I had the smoker and the controller in the sun so maybe the Auber overheated and malfunctioned, or the second usage just failed. Tomorrow go to the garage to do a short run to see if the PID is still working. Thank you
I think the SSR(Solid State Relay) failed in the closed position.

Sausage Making / Re: Sausage temp
Last post by mysteryquote - March 04, 2024, 08:10:07 PMTo get the desired dark mahogany coloration in the sausage, it is best to begin with a low temperature, about 130°F, to dry the exterior of the casings. There will be no smoke for the first hour. If you want your smoke to taste its finest, maintain the temperature around 140°F when you apply it. It may be raised to 170°F once the smoke has been sprayed.
