I agree with zueth. Temp control on the bds is not fine enough for sausage. If i could do it again, i would fo with the bradley original and a pid. I ended up putting a pid on my bds anyways. Would have saved some money.

  OK i have another couple of questions for you guys.. what is OBS .. versus DBS... and finally PID(auber i take it is the brand name ) i usually do a lot of jerky ... and salmon .. and then some roasts . you see i also have a traeger too , but the Bradley does a better job with the jerky  and salmon i think.
i thank you all in advance ,as i haven't done this upgrade just yet , but still gonna do it . thanks again for any information .

Ok here we go OBS stands for Original Bradley Smoker - DBS stands for Digital Bradley Smoker. The PID is a brand name and most of use that have done any mod's to the Bradley are using there PID's. I did the mod to my DBS and I'm very happy with it, best thing I have done.
