Called Bradley this morning. They are going to replace the generator. They will teat it at the factory to ensure its working and send to me along with a box of briquettes for my trouble. Since the heating element heated when I plugged it in directly they are going to hold off on it unless there is some other issue. Which I was concerned about the temperature switch in the unit preventing it turning on. I think I will wait until it arrives to troubleshoot further. I may go ahead and meter some of the smokers itself items like the heating element and temperature sensor, fuse to ensure there is not an issue there. They didnt ask for the other generator may use the box once I get ready to do the PIR mods on it and just take out the the items and use for spares as well as have one I can cut up to add controller and switch for on and off etc.. An led is easy to add as well. I prefer having all items in a single box myself to keep it neater not that it really matters.
Can someone point me to the troubleshooting and meter values for the unit as well as what mods are being done. I have seen the dual PIR with separate box, a picture of a moded smoke generator with a single PaiR controller built in and someone adding a fan for it. I am also going to start to work kn a stand for it out of pallets, so if anyone has any links or builds for even a cabinet using similar materials it would be very helpful. My TBI from military service makes all thsi stuff just so much more difficult to find and do. I want to learn to use it first before doing anything as this is a totally new concept for me, thanks.
