Product Description
Cater to your savor of a great smoked flavor! Make delectable treats with the Bradley Original Black Smoker! Here's a unique smoke house, sold complete with its accompanying smoke generator. Flavor bisquettes are burned for 20 minutes each at a consistent temperature in the unit's smoke generator, producing clean, continuous smoke. This eliminates high temperature gases, acids and resins that can distort the flavor of smoked food. It's light enough to carry and is about the size of a small refrigerator. It makes clean tasting food without any aftertaste. While some smokers need to be tended constantly, this one automatically produces clean, cool smoke for up to 8 hours safely. Using the independently controlled internal heating element, the Bradley Original Smoker will also hot smoke, or may be used simply as a slow cooker or slow roasting oven. The low temperature cooking environment is perfect for any smoking project and the infra-red heater source is also particularly well suited for drying fruits. Smoking hot features! Powder epoxy steel exterior, aluminum interior; Internal cooking volume: 2,288 cu. in.; Internal heater: 500 watt cooking element and 125 watt smoking element; Power specifications: 120 volt-60 Hz, 5.5 Amps; Maximum temperature is controllable up to 320 degrees F Thermometer included; 4 adjustable wire racks are included; Comes with user guide, recipe booklet, rectangular tray and drip bowl; Measures 17"w. x 14 1/2"d. x 31"h; weight 40 lbs.; 1-yr.

 It does what it says September 11, 2008

So far I have used it twice for smoking pork shoulder. Both times it has come out perfect. The controller is not the most accurate, but there are many mods out there that overcome that. With that said both my experiences were with the unit as-is no mods.

The BEST Product Ever Invented! August 1, 2008

I love smoked meat! However, I don't have the time or the patience to smoke meat and tend to it all day by constantly having to throw more chips on the fire. Why didn't someone think of this sooner. Since I bought this item a few months ago as a graduation gift to myself, I have smoked like crazy. I have smoked different kinds of meat, my favorite being chicken breast. You don't even have to marinade it. The meat is so tender and so juicy. It self feeds, you just need to stack the wood bisquettes (which are made specially for use with this product) in the side shoot, turn it on and put the meet on the racks and VOILA, perfectly smoked meat. It is unbelievable! I even smoked london broil and it was so tender and juicy.
The smoker cleans easily (which supports my low maintenance needs). So, if you love smoked meat, but don't like the high maintenance that is required to tend the meet and clean up, I HIGHLY recommend this Smoker (or should I say "Lazy Q") You won't be dissatisfied. While you are at it buy the apple bisquettes for smoking chicken and hickory for smoking beef. Also, you might want to purchase the Bradley All Weather Cover to protect your investment. One last praise, it runs on electricity! You don't have to worry about running out of propane or charcoal because you won't need them. This is one of the best purchases I have ever made.

I've owned this smoker for 3 years and have been very happy. I've cooked ribs, brisket, pork shoulder, boston butt and salmon and they all have come out fantastic. Using the Bradley is very simple. I've tried smoking the traditional way but for the occasional weekend smoker keeping the heat low and slow is nearly impossible; the constant monitoring of heat and fuel for 6-12 hours took out all the joy of eating. Bradley is the way to go!
Besides making sure there were enough "pucks" of wood, you have to check the water pan to make sure it doesn't go dry. If you're smoking something fatty like a boston butt, I would recommend tossing out the oil and ash that drips into the pan after 3 hours or so and add more water. Other than that it's set and forget.
We don't have a much of a selection of wood where I live (mesquite is king) so it's great how easy it is get different woods to try and mix them like the pros do.
The only reason it doesn't get five stars is because it doesn't get hotter than about 225 degrees. If it were able to get hotter it would have greater versatility, and you could roast a perfect chicken with crispy skin.
Side note: Just as important as the smoker is the rub and sauce. The best cookbook for BBQ I've found is Peace, Love, & Barbecue: Recipes, Secrets, Tall Tales, and Outright Lies from the Legends of Barbecue. It gives you the REAL award winning recipes, not the common "based on" recipes from some well-known BBQ pros. In addition, there are valuable hints on prepping and cooking that most other books don't give and a great guide that will help you develop your own signature rub.

After owning many smokers in my lifetime; And recently building my own, using a Bradley's Smoke Generator; I decided to purchase one of these for the smaller capacity. (My home built is more than triple the capacity and works fine if you're cooking for an army but I wanted something smaller for every day use.)
The design of this unit is brilliant, using the miniscule 125 watt element to generate the necessary plus 500 degrees of heat needed to start the wood to smoke and the larger element to control the heat.
In addition; The folks at Bradley Smokers are very quick to respond in the event of a complaint as I found, after my original smoke generator failed to advance after moving 3 bisquettes,
In my opinion; If you are looking for a smoker; Don't buy anything less, unless you have an unlimited supply of suitable wood. By my estimate; My costs are around a buck an hour, depending on where you buy the bisquettes. Using charcoal, and/or smoking wood has proved more expensive to me, in addition to little (if any) temperature control.
The unit is incredibly well designed to smoke at low temperatures. The problem with this is; You must know what you are you are doing and use the appropriate techniques (such as curing) and food preparation prior to use at the lower temperatures.
This is NOT a grill and never was intended to be one.
Believe me; Iv'e tried the rest; Now try the best!
