My original Bradley is just a week old I have cold smoked salmon and smoked hot ribs. One of Bradleys recipies said to cook for 3 hours at 225. Then shut off smoke generator and cook for 2 more hours. If I shut the smoke generator off with the toggle switch, the tower burner also shuts off. Is this normal?
the new bradleys i do not know, The on / off switch may turn off the whole smoker... including the main element... quick way to check this out is only turn on the heating element by the know and watch the light above the know to see how bright it is... this should apply power to the element.. if it does not.. check thje connections from the smoke generator to the tower
Not sure why a recipe would advise to shut off the smoke generator anyhow. It serves as an additional heat source. Mine runs the entire time.
Exactly. Without the smoke gen, the highest temp I can get is about 145 degrees
I suspect that the recipe is poorly worded. I think the intent is to convey the instruction to apply smoke for three hours, then continue to cook for another two hours.
I have the 4 rack original and turning off the smoke generator turns off the tower heating element. The temperature control dial is on the smoking generator, so that makes sense. The recipe probably means to keep the generator on and keep cooking, but do not feed any more pucks.

I just posted the same question before I saw yours. So far all I have figured out to do is remove the pucks.
