Gonzo,
From what I have been able to find out in phone conversations and emails, the Auber units are essentially plug and play. Some of the units were developed specifically for the Bradley smokers. I have read over the user manuals for these units and while the basic description for, say the 1503 mentions Smokin-it by name, Bradley is still referred to in the manual. My personal advice would be to contact Auberins and get the answers you seek there. I will admit that the manuals are somewhat confusing to me, what with the programming and such. The link I posted was for the 1503.
I read what gee rock said and that makes sense as well as I would guess that you would want to bypass the onboard smoker controller and let the Auber do all the work. I wish I could say more but I cannot.
Good luck.

What they have done is basically set the auto tune for the bradley smoker and it also has a connection for bradleys smoke generator. Apparently they saw a need for some of the older bradleys that had bad controllers. But they will work just fine with other electrics. I have a 1203 on a gen 2 mes and it turned a useless pos into a great smoker. The self tune feature allows it to adapt to many designs and the smokin it has a basic analog control. The 1503 is just a 1203 capable of a higher wattage which he doesn't need and the 1200 will work for the smokin it elements wattage also.
