The Digital Smokers (BTDS76P & BTDS108P) / Re: Smoking: The Early Days

Usually with chicken you want to keep it all the way open to get the moisture out.  Mine is full open all the time for everything I smoke.

Don't know if this would matter but was your vent all the way open? Sometimes if not to much moisture builds up which is also known as black rain.

I kept it about half open and saw smoke coming out.

The New Bradley Smart Smoker (BS916) / Re: Upgrade?

The online user manual says it will hold 10 racks so it's much larger.The main heating element is still 500w and it still doesn't have a built in pid.To me the bluetooth feature is just smoke and mirrors, it adds nothing to the cooking,just buttons to push for those that like that stuff.I'd say keep your digital unit and get a pid to go with it.

The New Bradley Smart Smoker (BS916) / Upgrade?

« Last post by JohnD on October 18, 2018, 11:47:56 am »

I have the opportunity to upgrade from a 4 rack digital smoker to the Smart Smoker for just $100.  Has it been out long enough that most of the glitches have been worked through? Is it really a significant upgrade or just smoke and mirrors (pun intended).  Thanks in advance for any and all input.  JD

Hey Mahon, you might want to review this thread on my jerky. It details temps, times and includes some good recipes. It also describes colour outcome with different brines:

For your next run I would suggest a lower temp. Most seem to run around 160.  I would also set regular checks oh every 1 hour. Maybe down to 30 mins as I get close. This would allow you to get a better sense of what time you need.  Avoid checking too often as the smoker can have a hard time regaining temp. I have been found guilty of shining a flash light down through the vent holes to sneak a peak once in a while.

Good luck and let us know how the next run is.
