I agree with you. I have had a bradley smoker for 4 years or so. After the first year (out of warranty) I had to replace the temp control unit, it went bad. The following year I had to replace again. the 3rd year it failed again, so I purchased a PDI controller installed it with another burner. (forgot to mention I also had to replace an element in the unit the 2nd year) the 4th year I went to use it and now the bisquette burner has gone bad. 43 bucks to replace it. Every year I have issues with it. I only use it a couple times a year. Crap made, and parts are 4x what they should cost. Of course Bradley won;t stand behind anything after a year.

Can you tell us how well your PDI is working now after your upgrade?
