Newbie here. Getting ready to purchase the 6 rack digital. I'm about a Sophomore on the smoking scale as I've used my Weber Silver exclusively. Ribs, chicken and some brisket mostly. This is a great form and I can't wait to get my unit and post some pictures of the first smoke!
Welcome aboard. Alot of great info here, I'm new to the forum also and new to Bradley.
Welcome to the forum. You will love the Bradley. I used to have an offset smoker, but gave it away after a few months with the Bradley.
Welcome aboard BF. I got my DBS6 back about October, '08 and have really enjoyed it. Look around for some great recipes here and on http://www.susanminor.org/ (http://www.susanminor.org/). The only bad smokes I've had were all my fault, but mostly real good!
Order lots of pucks. My favorites are Apple, Hickory and Mesquite.
Good Luck and enjoy!
Welcome to the forum. I got my 4 rack digital at christmas and love using it. These boards are great for advice if you need it.
Welcome aboard BF! Lots of info, recipes and helpful folk. Stay away from SmokingDuck - he just had puppies. Oh and the crazy lady with the teabags - luv ya LQ. Ditto the advice about lots of pucks - especially the "M" ones. Grab ahold and hang on! Oh and we like pictures - some of us can't read too well. ;D

BF,
Welcome to the forum. You'll find this site just slightly less addictive than your Bradley. These folks are great. I'd like to say that they're like family..., but heck, they treat me better than my family most of the time.
Come here often, ask lots of questions, and share, share, share.
Best of Luck,
Jeff
I have read about Yard and Pool, but what is the cheapest place to get pucks? And why hasn't anyone made their own (I haven't read anything anyways)? Thanks everybody!

Sometimes Amazondotcom has them cheap. There have been a few that make their own pucks with hydraulic rams.

Most have come to the realization that the effort involved to make them at home is more that what they cost to buy.
Typically you can get them for 33 cents a piece which is roughly $1 an hour. If you go 4 hours, that is 4 dollars which is the most you spend on smoke.

Making mine today. The longest part was finding the aluminum in my junk pile.
BF,
Are you talking about bubba pucks or wood pucks? In my earlier post, I was referring to wood pucks. The Bubba's are a different story as Roadking was referring to.
I was talking about wood pucks really. I have no problem buying them and $4-10 is pretty cheap for smoking if you ask me. And I was PUMPED to get back to work today and have a box from Bradley with a hat and pucks!! Can't wait to get the smoker this week!
