I have seen some posts discussions about the maximum allowable cabinet temp on the OBS. Well I have verified that it is definently 280F. As soon as my cabinet got to 280F the power light for my element shut off(PID still indicating heating). Then when the cabinet cooled 20 degrees the light re-engaged. So I would suggest not setting the PID higher than 260F or it could result in big temp swings due to tripping of the switch. Also continuous tripping of the cabinet over-heat safety switch might not be a good thing eitgher. So those looking for higher cabinet temps will either need to by-pass the safety switch or install a higher rated temp switch ;D
Good to know but in my mind it's better to be safe and not go to 280F!
Why would you want to pass 225 anyways in your Bradley?
If i want 280 with smoke its
MAK TIME
If you went past 280 you could crisp the skin of a chicken.
