    Got a Bradley Smoker!

    I'm excited! I just picked-up a Bradley Smoker (original...not digital) from Canadian Tire. It's currently "seasoning" on the front porch. Tomorrow, I'm going to try smoking the turkey I arrowed last week. I'll let you know how its turns out!

    BTW, the smoker was $100 off the regular price.

    The element will die halfway through the bird, but Bradley will send you a new one. A new element, not a new turkey

    Ha ha. I Hope not. I know some people have had chronic problems with their smokers, but others have had years of trouble-free service....I hope I'm in the later group.

    I think he is running it to burn off any oils, new metal ,rubber, plastic etc smells that might be on the inside of the smoker from the manufacturing process.
    Give it some heat and some smoke.
    All home stove {ranges} ovens have to be run on high heat for an hour or so when you first buy them .... and they stink the house up when ur doing it ...

    Mine is 13 years old and still running fine. The only thing to replace was the plastic plug in the back of the smoker, it gets very brittle in the cold and broke when pulling out the cord. Bradley sent me two new ones no charge.

    Will be looking at a new digital 6 rack in the future as we are learning that we can cook pretty well any thing in it. Have been cooking duck breasts, ribs, roasts and of course fish, plus veggies and drying fruit in it.

    Cheers

    they're great units, however I guess Im just bitter since my element died on it's 3rd use, halfway through my jerky! And a few people I know have experienced the same, element crapping out in the first handful of uses

    Bradley did send me one in 3 days however
