Well at this point in time I'm not complaining! Just thinking out loud. But I do hope that stainless their using is a better quality then their stainless smokers as I heard a lot say they rusted. I have never heard of SS rusting. LOL If my cabinet holds up i'll be happy. I like their system of smoking. and only thing I personally thought needed changing was the heating element and fix door problems. But even that hasn't bothered me yet.

If you want tight temp control, yes.

For briskets and butts, you don't _need_ a PID, but it is nice to have.

Sorry to break this to you Viper but stainless steel can rust.  It's not as likely to rust as other metals but it can rust.

I'm still not sure why you think the new OBS won't cold smoke.  Not being critical at all.  I just don't follow your logic.

Im not saying it can't. But said if you set it up like so many do. With a cold smoke box. If they make a cable or something to go to smoker so you can regulate the heat on the smoker. Or weather you'd have to put it back on. I have seen SS rust but that guy said it rusted thru. This I havnt seen.

There are different grades of stainless steel, the lesser grades you have to use more care. You can distinguish some of the cheaper grades, because they are magnetic. I have a stainless steel stove front that is made of a lesser grade of steel, and if I don't catch some spills right away it will react to acid food causing rust and pitting. I can see it a low grade stainless steel rusting through, do to the acids that are produced during a smoke.

Being a die maker I'm fully aware cheap stainless will rust pretty fast as good stainless  may but takes neglect better. I am saying I hope they used a better grade of stainless! Not that it wont rust. LOL So hope they used the good stuff wont take long to know. Also as far as the Auber PID who knows. There new ad claims better electronic parts. Hope fully this means less swing then the original Bradley. I'm just surprised they didn't fully address all issues. But that's their choice and we will never know that. Has any one bought one yet? The price don't seem that bad.
