Title: What am I doing wrong?
Post by: crapshooter on October 20, 2012, 07:39:13 PM

I guess I'm just too hard headed to understand how to set the auber dual probe. Every single time I've smoked anything I've found that the bradley has shut down and have to reprogram it. The meat always taste great but it's really a pain to come in and find it off and cooling down. Can anyone tell me how they set it to smoke a brisket? I usually try to cook at 225 but not sure that's good or not. If someone can explain step by step I'll try again.

I guess I should just give up on using an auber.

Can you clarify? What do you mean the Bradley shuts down?

Saturday it was working fine, I leave for an hour or so and come back and it's stopped heating. The temperature is like 40-50 degrees lower than when I left and interal temp has dropped way down. It's done this everytime I've used it. When I turn the auber off and try to reprogram it will heat up again but I know I'm not understanding how to set the auber. I've read the instructions some people have left but it's so confusing. They need a setting the auber book for dummys.

That's what I tried to use this weekend when I smoked a brisket. But for example these instructions say......If you want the first cycle to end based on time, hit "set". A "t01" will appear on the left side.....I've never been able to get a t01 to show up on mine.
Auber sent no instructions or disc so I just started out without a clue.

I also used Gusrobins walk thru. Also have a printed copy for them brain fart moments when I forget something. Sometimes is best if you can have someone walk you thru it and take down notes.
Looks like you will be in good hands now. :)
