Thanks for the welcome fellas. I wasn't looking to smoke at 400, just kinda seeing what it was capable of when I first powered it up.... blocking wind is a bit of a problem for me, and I do not desire to construct anything to barricade it. However, yesterday, I put a 25# bird in, and kept an eye on it. What a difference. Temperature recovery is amazing. I would compare it to the difference of single factory element, and than adding the second element. I left the oem bradley controller running the 900 element, and the auber running the twin elements. Worked flawlessly. I have the temp probe located just below the highest rack that goes in. It maintained my set 225 temp, and with any opening of the door, it was back up to temp in a couple minutes. It didn't care about the wind, outside temp was about 15 deg F. I'm happy with it. Oh, no bypass on the high temp limit switch. However, the 900w element has no thermal shutoff. I will be ordering one, as it is a separate circuit. On some meats, I just like to finish some things up at a little higher temp, and figured if I could do it in the bradley, and just add a step in the cooking profile with the controller, all is well. I was able to do that, and it looks to be a welcome addition. I tried posting some pictures, but am having trouble with hosting them somewhere.....
