I upgraded my Bradley smoker burner to a 900 watt from 500, it reaches 250 in about 15 min’s 300 in a half hour my old burner I don’t think I ever hit 250. I completely gave up trying to smoke anything after it was 10 below outside.
It turned out to be an easy project, I removed the old burner and used the existing wiring although I changed the burner connections with larger holes. Two pieces of angle bracket bolted to the heat shield. I didn’t change or damage the smoker so I could install the original anytime.
$95 for the burner could be cheaper if you buy through a company

I opted to go with one large burner rather than add a second Bradley burner because I’ve already had one Bradley burner go after a short time.
