Wow, that looks like a great new toy.  I really like the features especially the warming cycle after a preset food IT is hit.  Let us know how you like it.

I will give Auber a call and see if we can get one to test and review.

It looks like the $175.00 is for the Bradley.

I think the other one is for the Bradley too!

Help! Did I buy the wrong one?

I went through and compared all the specs. It looks like the only difference is the maximum current 15 amps for the one you bought and 12 amps for the one they say is for the Bradley. So it looks like the one you bought should work, just capable of handling a higher amperage system.

I just called and talked to Auber and he said the one I bought was for higher watt smokers and he was just getting ready to send it out and that he would switch it and refund me the difference.

Thanks Kevin.

Also i think it has these features added to your classicrockgrill;

In addition, this controller has two relay outputs that can be used as timer to activate external devices. Each relay can be programmed to pull-in at one of the six steps, When used for smoking sausage, the first relay can activate the smoker generator when the sausage is dried to a specified internal temperature. The second relay will activate a water spray for cooling once the cooking is finished. The relays are accessed by two pairs of wire underneath the controller. They are not plug-n-play type because the external device varies.  User can contact us if you need help on interfacing the  relay with your device.

I also bought the 'old' one a few weeks ago.  I may contact him and see if I can upgrade reasonably.

Hey Toker,

Besides the higher power rating, the new high end PID has the 2 extra relays that you describe.  I don't think the Dual Probe Bradley has the 2 extra relays that are timer controlled but I may have misunderstood something.  (see new member chat section for email threads)

In any event, I'm going w/ the big 'un.  More power and all that etc. ;-)

no the on at 175.50$ does not have it here is what Mr Liu told me ealier today hope it help.

The other two relays are for turn on a shower to cool the sausage and timing the smoker generator.

Toker,

Thanks for the clarification confirmation that Dual Prob Bradley does not have the relays.  These are also not listed in the spec sheet.

You don't have to use the relays for the water etc.  but can.   The relays can power any 110V device not to exceed 3A.  I'm going to use one of my 2 relays to turn my smoke generator on for a preset time.  I might use the other one for an alarm. 

I just ordered it and will report on its performance once I have had a chance to play w/ it.

Thanks,
Mark

I'm putting this on my wishlist. I sent him an email this morning asking if the Dual Probe can be run without the meat probe. This is his answer.


"Hello;
Here are the options you have.
1) If you set all six steps as time depended instead of some are internal temperature depended, you can unplug the second sensor. The second window will be used to show the cooking time. You can also have the second sensor plugged and use it to display the temperature of a different location.

2) You can programmed the controller that only the last step is finished by internal temperature. You just leave the internal sensor in somewhere safe. It has to be plugged to the controller.
I hope this answer your question.

Thanks,
Suyi"

Hmmm,  This is interesting.  Since I will begin by making jerky, I suppose I can defeat this potential logic issue by leaving the IT probe outside the smokerm and by default, it will always be lower than the temp inside the smoker.

I'll let you know once I have a chance to play a bit.
