Title: Just ordered my Bradley Original Smoker.....
Post by: rdevous on August 11, 2009, 02:06:03 PM
I am new to smoking.  I have been DROOOOOOOOOOOOOOLING all over my keyboard for about a week reading this and several other smoking forums.  Since this one is dedicated to the Bradley Smokers (well DUH!!!  ;D ..."You number one, sailor!")  If you had asked me a week ago if I had ever "rolled a fattie?"....you would have gotten a different answer.  ::)  I'm also glad I wasn't on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? last week and had to answer "What is the meaning of the abbreviation ABT?" to win the million.  ???

Let see...I'm 61, living in Maryland just outside of DC, a loyal as a Rottweiler friend, Bartender/Event Manager, 4th Degree Knights of Columbus, major foodie...especially pork BBQ, Nam Vet and a guy who feels that if he can crack someone up...it's a Good Day!

Mike,
Thanks for the welcome.  Susan Minor's site has a lot of great info on it...left some drool there too!!!  I too...like General MacArthur...will return!

Smokeitall,
Thanks for the welcome too!  I'm thinking about a nice bacon wrapped Italian stuffed Fattie with sauce on the side to prevent a "blowout!"
A friend of mine asked me if I would smoke some bluefish for him.  Bluefish is too strong a fish for my taste but very popular around here.  His fish...his beer...we b smokin......... ;)

My Bradley Original Smoker is HERE!!!!!!!  Thank you FedEx deliveryman.... :)  Now waiting for package 2/2 shipped via our lustrous Postal Service.  It has the Hickory Pucks and Cookbook - Vol 1.  Bubba Pucks ordered from Y&P......hurry USPS get that check to Bryan!  I would have ordered the 4-rack cover but it has gotten such bad reviews from 3 smoking forums including Bradley's OWN FORUM!!!  :o  :-[ (HQ...hint hint!)  Today's mail just came and no package 2/2.........................is it Monday yet??

My cover works as designed.

I put it on, it stays there. It has not fallen apart.

I do not really have winter here.

My cover has done great also!  Going to go into its second winter soon.  It stays on the deck, in the open 100% of the time.  Just with it did not cost so much though.  I have bought bigger ones to go on some of my other smokers that didn't cost that much - but at least thankfully it is doing what it is supposed to do.  Welcome to the forum Ray.  Sounds like good times are coming your way!
