Has anyone added either a second heating element (500W) or swapped in a 900W element and kept the stock Bradley temperature control on the new style smokers? I would like to be able to get to temps above 240, but don't see the need in adding a PID at this time.
If you opt for the second 500W element or 900W element mod you will not be able to use the Bradley controller as it will not handle the wattage. You will need to use a PID such as the Auber that has the ability to handle up to 1400W.
You have to use a pod if you do the mods.

Cool Mike :) Just what type of pod do you recommend (https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-BJ6aJAM18Fg/UViqqtAsNzI/AAAAAAAAF0s/ZZgoEPLegh0/s78/nana1.gif)
I prefer Kona in my pod
That's what I had assumed, but every DIY I have seen was on the old slider style control. Had my fingers crossed that the beefed up the dial control.
Make a use of pod. your problem will get solved.
i have done the 900 watt mod along with the pid controller just to cover the additional wattage
