I have a black Bradley with the heat control on the bottom front. Can I replace my smoke controller with a digital unit for more precise heat control

Hi Charkey,

Welcome to the forum.

Theoretically it can be done, and if you are handy, and comfortable with working with electrical appliances, and drills. It will require additional parts, knowledge of wiring, knowledge of the wire diagram and placement of the sensor, drilling and more. Besides the purchase of the generator, you will need to purchase the digital temperature sensor.

I'm not sure if there are additional parts that may be needed. Go to the Bradley website and download the manual. That will show some information. Also, I don't have the digital, so I'm not sure if the generator support studs of the Original will match the slots of the digital generator.  So, you should check that out as well.

I have the same model smoker.  I replaced the slide heat control on the bottom front with an Auber PID controller mounted in the smoke generator box.  Much better heat control now.
