Hi all, I see from many of the posts that quite a few users have added a second heating element to their OBS. I looked on the Bradley website and don't see this listed as an available part. Where does this element come from? Is it made as an add-on or is it the same as the first installed heater and just added inside the cabinet above the original? I think this would be most helpful when adding a large load of meat to help with regaining temp quickly.
thanks Jack
Hi Jack
The element is available at Yard & Pool (He's also a forum member). Here's a link...

Here is a link to the write up on doing the 2nd element mod including pictures. You do want to make sure you are controlling the unit with a PID as it will be capable of gaining temp quickly.

Hello oopseadaisy,
Mr Walleye has you pointed in the right direction and the only thing I can add is this is a link (http://forum.bradleysmoker.com/index.php?topic=16299.0)

and a new timer and pid

take a look at my set up , and take a look a look at the dual 500 watt set up and make a decision on which one you like the best and go for it, the additional heat makes a difference on large ( 15 lb plus ) loads at keeping the temperature constant through out the box, also consider adding a fan / blower to circulate the air, lots of help there
