Thanks Tuck, that's the route I'll go. I'll first try the burner (wired in to make use of external t-stat if possible) or in tandem if extra heat is needed for outside.

Steve I have talked to a couple guys with the Bradley Smokers and they say that they are the cats meow. I'd love to have one just can't afford it. I see they do sell the smoker chamber separate so a guy could fab that onto an existing box.

Riv, You could use a 1 burner electric hot plate from Wally World. Buddy put one in his for $8 on clearance. Works great when you need the extra heat.
Steve One friend bought a scratch and dent original stainless Bradley direct from the company. It is awesome!
We built a dual digital controlled knock off that works great. Complete with motorized puck pusher and puck stack. 1 heat control for the smoker an 1 for heat. Luckily work had many scrap parts we could use
Digital temp controllers are readily available on ebay for ~$20.
I just looked at the digital Bradleys and they look awful nice! Too bad we didn't apply for a patent first Tons of recipes an forum on there site. I think this is the best consumer model out there for less than $500.
Ferny.

Appreciate the link to TSM. They have a lot of good resources there for sure. The reason I need to be able to get an internal temperature over 200 is this unit will be used outside. My max temp before was inside a shop heated at about 70 degrees. Plus I also plan to smoke cook as well as just regular smoking.
I still need ideas on what to use to insulate this bugger. I'm thinking of trying some kind of a blanket type for the inside that would have a foil back on it. Heading to Menard's this week and will look there too. I want the inside insulated year around and the outside I plan to build a tight fitting insulated box to slide the unit in. Now with deer hunting over I should have time to work on it more.

Was looking through the closet the other day and found a box of Bradley disks hide away  I think Santa has brought me a smoker!!!! With that said, I'll be needing a good cook book. What are some and I sure hope there is a smoker that goes along with those chips.
