Summary: my first smoker
Comment: I have wanted to buy a smoker since last year but could not decide on which one. I originally thought I wanted charcoal, then gas but I decided on the electric. I am so glad I did. It is definatly a lazy mans smoker. I only have had it for a week but I used it 4 times and I love it. I made Wings and my guests have said that it was the best wings they have ever had. The meat fell off the bone. The main reason I bought it was for Sunday Footbal games. I usually have about 8 people over and this will fit enough food to fill us. If you cant decide on which smoker to buy I suggest this one. It is not the cheapest smoker and you do have to buy Bradleys wood chips but you wont be disappointed. Just preheat it,set the timers, season the meat, put it in the smoker, grab a beer and watch the game. You do not have to check it at all.

Summary: This smoker is NOT reliable and does not work
Comment: I bought my smoker 6/14/08 and it worked twice and has since not worked. The company has sent me replacement parts for me to disassemble my smoker and replace the parts on several occasions and still it does not work. If my company produced a $440 oven and it did not work in the first week a consumer used it I would WANT that oven back in my shop to figure out WHY so it would never happen again. NOT BRADLEY!!!! Apparently their reputation is NOT important to them. IT SHOULD BE EMBARRASSING to Bradley to have such an issue but they could care less. They figure they got the sale....what do they need you now for. I got an "E1" message which the technician told me originally that that occurs frequently because of a bad part and they often have to replace it. WHY NOT GO BACK TO QUALITY CONTROL AND MAKE IT SO THE E1 NEVER OCCURS? Well unfortunately for me the "easy fix" did not fix it. I had to take the whole smoker apart and pull out the faulty wire, reassemble it and try it out. I have done this a total of 6 times to try to employ all of their suggestions. You would figure with that amount of effort they would say to me that they would exchange the whole thing and figure out in their shop why the darn thing still doesn't work but apparently I and all their customers are to be considered BRADLEY TECHNICAL SERVICE EMPLOYEES. SHAME ON BRADLEY for poor quality workmanship. SHAME on BRadley for poor customer service. Once you buy this thing your stuck with it wether it works or not. So you'd better hope you get one that works because if you are one of the unlucky ones you are on your own!

Summary: Smoking made elementary but will never crisp the skin.
Comment: I have one and I love it. Its effortless with the smallest amount of maintenance so far, just keeping that box clean and free of debris is the most youll have to do. As for the smoke, the flavor is spot on. When it comes to smoking birds, youll never get the thing up high enough to crisp the skin like a charcoal smoker. Yes sometimes a smoker wants high temps. This little baby will never do it, not on its own. But when it comes to cold smoking or smoking at 220ish to 240, this baby cant be beat for the ease of use and perfect meat flavor. If you got the cash pick her up.

Summary: An Expensive and Unreliable Way to go!
Comment: Bradley Digital Smoker 4 Rack
When it works it does a good job. My first generator lasted 3 smokes before it died. They sent me a new one which was used twice. Tonight I went to my garage to preheat it and it was dead as could be.
Even when it works the feeder mechanism can jam very easily. A large brisket or pork butt requires anywhere from 12 to 16 hours to cook. The Bradley timer only goes up to 9 hours. Go figure.
I just ordered a Weber Smokey Mountain Charcoal Smoker which does an incredible job at a fraction of the price and without the problems, after all charcoal doesn't break. Bradley require expensive custom wood pucks - which cost about one dollar per hour of smoke. A brisket needs at least 6 hours of good smoke, so thats 6 dollars just for Bradley wood.
I will try to sell it on Ebay if Bradley sends a new smoke generator- if not I will junk it, lick my wounds and wish a bought a Weber to begin with.

Summary: I like my smoker and I like the quality of this smoker
Comment: It looks like a very small refrigerator.
Every piece of sheet metal is sanded on the edges, no cuts from sharp edges.
Easy to put together, no more difficult than putting together a refrigerator.
Quiet as a refrigerator too.
Read the instructions and season it first as directed.
You will need extra wood pellets. It does not come with any in the box, so order some extras. Each pellet lasts about 20 minutes.Bradley Apple Bisquettes 48 pack
NOTE: you have to put at least 4 pellets in the stacker to get it to burn 1 pellet. Just the way it works. I put in two pellets and nothing smoked. It needs 4 pellets to push the pellets along the tray to the burner. Not a problem, just try to remember that 3 of the pellets won't burn.
So, if you want to cook for 4 hours you need: 3 pellets per hours x 4 hours = 12 pellets + 3 pellets to get them to burn plate = 15 pellets.
I tested a Butterball Turkey Breast first. I followed the Bradley instructions in their cookbook Bradley Recipe Book Volume 1 for the turkey cooking temperatures. I used their glaze recipe under the skin. I also used a wireless remote meat thermometer Oregon Scientific AW131 Grill Right Wireless Talking BBQ/Oven Thermometer feed the probe wire through the roof vent of the smoker. I used the apple pellets from Bradley Apple Bisquettes 120 pack
I sat back and waited. A few hour later the Oregon Scientific AW131 Grill Right Wireless Talking BBQ/Oven Thermometer began to chirp "almost done" "Almost done". The wireless thermometer is great because I was smoking the week of Thanksgiving and it was in the 30's outside so not having walk out to the smoker to check the meat was ideal. (My wife was concerned about the smoker being able to maintain cooking temperature in the cold outside. This smoker was stable, the temperature stayed steady. the outside of the unit did not get hot to the touch, except around the smoke vent which is to be expected.)
I used a Taylor Analog Instant-Read Dial Thermometer to verify the temperature of the meat when the wireless told me it was done. Both thermometers were within a degree of each other.
I took the turkey breast out of the smoker and let it rest for about an hour. The color was extremely golden skin. Not black or Smokey but as if was dipped in golden lacquer. A gorgeous turkey breast. No burnt places, not excess smoke, perfect. When I carved the Turkey breast it was as moist as a wet sponge. Unbelievably tasty, nothing like store bought smoked turkey. The taste of the turkey was like that of caviar compared to fish sticks, it was rich, smooth and wonderful.
This smoking robot works. Just add a Oregon Scientific AW131 Grill Right Wireless Talking BBQ/Oven Thermometer to you don't have to walk outside and let it do its job.
Also, we ran the smoker on our back porch, about 10 feet from the house. It only exhausts a small amount of smoke while working. It did not look like a fire at the, just a little smoke, less than the steam from a tea kettle. If you cheat and peak while it is cooking you will get your clothes smoked and have to change for dinner, but the smoke from the smoker did not get into the house otherwise.
Easy to setup, easy to control and easy to cook with. Oh, the trays are 11x15 so you could put a 12-14 pound turkey in it. Next is a Roast, Ribs and some Cheeses. The Bradley Recipe Book Volume 1 also includes recipes for cheese, fruit, and more. Just follow the instructions and be patient. It can do both hot and cold smoking.
