Convert Bradley smoker

[Jesse1672]

Can you convert a basic bradley smoker to a digital?

better to add a pid  for digital display. tighter temp controls and step programmable. cost will only be moderately higher. I use an auber pid on my digital Bradley so it bypasses the Bradley temp control completey. lots of info on this forum about pids. do a search and you will find a link to the auber site.

It probably could be done but what is your reason for wanting to do that?  As has already been mentioned, a PID controller would be a better option for the non-digital unit.  You can get either a stand-alone PID controller with dual or single probes or a single probe PID that you in a project box or the SG. 

Here's a pic of mine that I did a few years ago.  It is an Auber SYL-2352 PID.

I added an Auber PID to my original.  Controls temp to +/- 2* F.  Auberins.com.  click plug-n-play.  They have both single and duel probe models for Bradleys.  A snap to hook up and works great.
