New 4 Rack Smoker - Is this a problem with the temperature controller

[paulsnapp]

I bought the Auber Dual Probe PID and installed it in my Bradley.  What a world of difference it makes.  Temps are now right on and no more wandering temp swings.  I chose the wall mount probe and the drop in internal meat probe.  Those who warned on this forum about the thin stainless steel tearing with the drill bit were right.  I followed their advice and drilled a smaller than needed hole in the back wall for the probe and then finished up the hole diameter with a Dremel ginding bit.  Had I not done so the hole would have been a mess.

One nice thing about the cabinet, if you screw up drilling a hole, a nut bolt and washer corrects the problem. (Don't ask how I know this.)

The Bradley control works perfectly fine for its intended usage. Try putting a temp probe thermometer in your $2000 oven and see what the temp swing of it is. Bradley could certainly tighten up there controls if you want to pay another hundred or two.

Geez, I just reread this and I sounded hostile. Not intended and I apologize if I offended anyone. I had some stressful crap going on but I didn't realize it was effecting my post. So I am going to find a rock to climb under. LOL

No problem -  we all have our bad days.
