Does anyone have the original - original Bradley Smoker ......... besides Wade? I bought my first Bradley smoker almost 12 years ago. I have been in the Butcher / Restaurant business for 20 years in Vancouver, near where the whole Bradley boys got started and is headquartered today. I first saw the Bradley original Smoker in a restaurant kitchen. It looked like it weighed a couple hundred pounds and was the size of a dishwasher, made in Canada out of heavy duty stainless steel. This particular restaurant still uses it today!
After I saw this commercial unit in operation I quickly bought the consumer edition. It was made out of what looked like a Danby Bar Fridge. It came with wooden dowels to hang sausages and was over 50 lbs.
I was wondering if anyone still had one in use and would like to share pics and stories of there vintage smoker.

I wasn't aware of that Mike.
I'll be watching this thread with great interest.

8 Racks and 17 different positions to put them in. Now that would be fun to fill with ABT's!
That looks impressive!
Very very cool!

Too shiny. Must be dying from neglect. I can help that situation. Poor thing.
There is nothing like an old vintage model. That smoker looks great.
Wow! In what years were those produced, and what was the cost?

These we the first smokers Bradley made in the late 80's early 90's
They produced 3 models
This one is the Gourmet model all powder coated steel
The Chef model which had SS Steel on the inside of the cabinet
And then they made custom one out of all SS Steel
Prices ranged from $1500 to $5000

Better be a big label this thing is about a 100 lbs. ;D ;D

I'm sure if you have lots of $$$$$ Mr. Bradley will be happy to build any model you choose ;D That is an awsome smoker
Good Heavens :o
How many pucks can that hold? Looking at the picture it looks like you load the pucks once and you don't need to restock for about 3 days ::)
Wow, that's an awesome looking box.
