A real test

[Misseem]

Smoked a pork butt today as a test before the Christmas brisket. The new range hood, 900 W heating element and Auber PID worked well together.  Ran at 240* to 204 internal temp. A couple of comments: 1) Auber needs to hire some one to write a usable manual.  This things a mess (and yes I used to write them).  2) We blew right thru the stall and finished in 7 hours, my fastest butt.

Happy, happy, happy!

I agree with you on the Auber PID manual, its very very lacking and a little more info/instruction would be helpful. I did the dual 500 watt element mod and have the Auber PID and haven't looked back. The recovery rate is phenomenal, and now maintains box temperatures like a champ, even in minus temperatures. I can usually smoke into December, and my last smoke of the season is a Christmas turkey, which was virtually impossible before I did the mod. But a Christmas brisket eh? Great idea. Good luck and happy smoking.

Did you have to leave the sensor cable plugged into the Bradley?
How did you hook up the pic?

[Misseem]

yes, the temp cable was hooked to the smoker as in  original set-up.

PID - temp cables thru the vent, power cable to the heating element.

I had to drill a hole in the back of my 6 rack Digital (as per Auber Instructions) and connected my PID temperature probe/sensor that way. Works like a charm and no issues.
