Model 2D/3D Upgrade Kits

[SuperDave]

Hello!

Maybe a long shot here:
Are there any plans of continuing to sell upgrade kits for those of us who have the original 2 or 3?  I know its been a while since this posting but i'd really like to convert my 2 to a 2D if still possible.  Any info is greatly appreciated since this thread has been stale for a while.

Thanks!
Brett

Brett, I think you are miles ahead by just buying an Auber and doing a little switch work to make it a dual function smoker.  The standalone Auber is plug and play and doesn't even require and conversion or switch work unless you smoke over 250 degrees.

Hi Brett, why not consider an Auber?
No more expensive than a conversion kit (I believe)
Totally plug and play with no installation time
Provides redundancy-if the electronics fail you can still use the analog system.
I have a couple of 3s both with Aubers and find them very satisfactory. If I feel lazy and am on a non critical smoke I typically do not bother with the Auber. On temperature critical smokes absolutely and also where I want to be able to go into an automatic hold at the end of the smoke. Otherwise not so much.

Looks like Dave and I overlapped. Totally agree with him and as he said if you do a little work-a lot less than installing the conversion kit-you can bypass the analog controller and smoke/cook at higher temperatures.

Thanks fellas.  I honestly hadn't gotten that far yet to see what options i had beyond the conversions.  Just liked the look of the integrations on the 2Ds.  Which Auber are ya'll using and hows the mounting/performance working out?

Thanks!!!!

Auber makes a couple of different models that work with our smokers and I chose to buy the larger wattage model. When using it I either sit it on top of the smoker or on a little table beside it.
