I read all the reviews and just got a new digital 4 rack.
Don't you think when you buy a smoker that uses its own system of pucks that they would include some to get started?
To make matters worse I can't get pucks. All the web sights say out of stock. The one that didn't I ordered from. Then they sent me an update and said Backordered.
ATTENTION Bradley. What may have been good about your smokers is going down the drain.
I an very disappointed. I have a new smoker with no smoke!!
Hi 65elcmo;
Sorry to welcome you to the forum under such conditions.
The inventory has been low for awhile. If you provide a geographic location, and what flavors you are looking for, I'm sure many could guide you in where you may obtain bisquettes. You may have to settle for the 24 or 48 count packs for awhile.
If you have a Cabelas, Bass Pro, or Gander Mt. nearby give them a call and see if they have any in stock. I was just in a Gander Mt. yesterday, and they had quite a few in stock.
I just received an order of bisquettes from Yard and Pool, add frogmats to your order as well..you won't regret having them.

Thanks for the reply. I live in Tucson, Az Not to many outdoor shops around here. We do have a
Sportsmans Warehouse that sells Bradley smokers but guess what. No pucks. Out of stock.
Also as a newbe to smoking is there a guide to what wood to use for what meat? ten different flavors and I don't know what to get.
Thanks for your help, Steve

This guide may help: Bisquette Flavors (http://www.susanminor.org/forums/showthread.php?26-Bisquettes&p=36#post36)
Also, there are all kinds of different flavor bisquettes for sale on places like Amazon if you don't mind ordering online. Some with free shipping for Prime members.
Bradley Bisquettes on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=bradley%20bisquettes&sprefix=bradley+bis%2Caps&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Abradley%20bisquettes)
I would check with YardandPool.com or Amazon. Sometimes you can get free shipping at Amazon and Bryan at Yard & Pool will do all he can to help you out.
Thanks for the chart
Found pucks at Meat Processing prod.com One box of 24 of each flavor on the way.
Next learn what to do.
Great!

Oak and Pecan Backordered 3 to 4 weeks
They must have a very small production line
Bradley posted that there was a huge fire at one of their main plants, sometime ago. It going to take awhile for them to get back to full production.

I guess the smoke smelled good!
I used to work in a sawmill that made OSB board. It was a daily fight to keep that place from burning down. Wood chips are the worst. You look at them the wrong way and they catch fire.

What flavor is the most versatile, popular, etc.
Versatile and popular are largely a matter of personal preference. At one time I very seldom used anything other than hickory, but anymore I lean toward apple and alder for most things, maple for canadian bacon. It depends on how strong you like your smoke flavor. Fruit woods are mildest, then alder, maple, hickory and mesquite in order of strength of smoke flavor. Or so it seems to my sense of taste anyway.
I've been getting mine at Menards
Amazon sent me a message that they have Jim Beam pucks on/for sale.
Here it is early july and none of the retailers in British Columbia have stock of 120 packs in the popular varieties. This has been dragging on since October 2013. Bradley offers excuses but no results. Mr Bradley do you have any idea of the damage caused to your brand by this bs? If I was shopping for a home smoker now I would pass on bradley products.Reliability is important...something bradley management seems to have forgotten.
Don't know what's going on up in the Great White North, but down here the Cabela's are back to keeping the 120's in stock regularly.
just ordered some at home depot for 16.95 per 48 they run out early in the week but restock quickly you just have to check daily
