Since I've gotten my bradley 2 weeks ago, I have smoked 4 sets of ribs, 2 butts, some chicken, and summer sausage. And I see why I need a PID. My question is this do I gain anything from the dual probe auber compared to single. I have the maverick et 73 also at a temp gauge. In other words if you where me would what would you do. Thanks in advance.
Well, i have the single probe Auber PID and i like it a LOT. I'm not completely familiar with the dual probe, but if you can use one probe to control the cabinet temp and the other to shut things down when you hit your IT, then i think that would be a great feature. If i didn't already have the single probe, i'd probably go for the dual.
I also have the single probe Auber PID.
If it were to crap out the dual would be my next one.
Just because you have a probe in the meat does not mean that the entire roast is the same temp.
I would rather shut off the unit myself after I take random temp checks of a roast.
Just like my ET-73, I still check the whole roast with a thermopen...........just to be on the safe side.
So to answer your question, I like my original Auber and would not upgrade to the newer unit with auto-shut off.

If you are a hands on smoker IE: checking on your smoker every 30 minutes are so, the
singleprobe would work.
If you like to get away from the smoker, then get the dual probe as it will shout down your smoker
at a desonated IT and switch the Bradley to a warm mode to hold the meat till you come get it.

Now that's what I'm talking about!
I bought this one too great addition this IT feature.
I made one myself about 9 months ago before Auber came out with there's. I made it for doing sausage because I fell a sleep and lost 20 pounds of Kielbasa by over cooking it. All the fat was at the bottom of the smoker.
If your going to buy one for roasting a pulled pork or a brisket or plain roasting I think your wasting you money. Unless you fall a sleep and don't have the sense to start your smoking or roasting early in the morning, like I don't. If your buying your first PID I would get the dual.
Enough already...........I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks.
I'm convinced :D
My new Auber is on order (when the old when poops out).

I wished I would of waited a month before getting my PID, cause if I would it would of been the dual probe. Although I may not ever need the IT feature, but I like data LOL!
The more info the better I feel.
All those fancy blinking lights from the PID and the BDS impressed the hell out of the guests.
:D

Talked to Suyi from Auber today. The new Feb. shipment should be shipping by this weekend! ;D ;D

Should bring a whole new set of "rookie" questions, so stand by. ;)

I'd send him a friendly email and see what he says I know he was expecting to start shipping mid Feb again, but believe me its worth the wait, you will be totally impressed with the accuracy and constant stable temps your smoker is capable of with this awesome little piece of equipment

Don't worry too much about it. There dual probe sold out super fast. You've actually ordered the dual while they are in production so they're filling orders fist come first serve. I won't rush it but let it take it's coarse, they make a real quality product.
I ordered the single several weeks ago and it arrived this weekend while I was away. Shipping takes awhile. In my case likely 'cause it had to go through customs and the hands of a brokerage firm. Came with a CD instead of a manual and just finished printing the manual. Now I'll have to hook it up and find something to try it on ;).

Sorry I did not get back to ya, have been busy. I last talked to Auber Fri. night and my dual probe had just been shipped out
that day. They said 2-3 weeks shipping??
Thats all I know, if you contact them I sure they will let ya know your order status.
