    Bradley not getting hot

    I have one of the bottom line bradley smokers with the slide temp. dial. I used it for the 4th time the other day and it didnt get hot. The bisquits burned but the element didnt work. I tried all the connections with no luck. Any ideas. I won this unit and didnt get a bill of sale with it.

    My 6rack digital's element crapped out the 2nd time I used it. Bradley had one on my doorstep within 3 days, at no charge. Give them a phone call they're out of Vancouver

    How cold was it outside? They don't heat up well in near zero temperatures. Poorly insulated.

    Re: Bradley not getting hot

    I have a Centro digital,also just crap,it is either too hot or to cold. Best one I ever owned is still the Big Chief, not to much of a problem , but manual, It actually finally fell apart after a many years that's why I bought the Centro thinking I am going to a better smoker.What a mistake, I just loved my Chief and miss it to this day, sorry didnt mean to steal your thread.

    Having similar issues with mine, ended up messing up a 10 lb peperoni batch! Was tinkering with it yesterday, unpluged the wires and put them back in and it was giving off heat again. Might flash it up for a few hours and see if it will come up to temp.

    I google it and I guess they had issues in the past with bad elements but I thought it would have been sorted by now.
