I'm picking up my Bradley this weekend. I've been roaming the forums for a few months until i could talk my wife into letting me buy one. Thanks to my annual bonus I'm off to the store and can't wait. I haven't been this enthused about a new hobby since i built my mame arcade machine.
I've got to go out and buy some pork butts this weekend after i get it primed and ready to go.
welcome from Canada's west coast, good luck with your purchase,
Welcome and don't forget to get some wood bisquits for smoking.
Welcome BB and since you have been lurking for 4 months, you know if you have any questions, just ask.
Jump on in BB.
4 months...well you know how it works around here!
Keep the vent open and the smoke roll'n.
Welcome BB! Whereabouts in Washington? My wife's family is from Tacoma..
MAME, eh? Sounds like you've got some electrical/programming skills?
Welcome to the forum Beav! Take it slow, don't want you to get too excited and mess up 100 lbs of meat. Practice makes perfect, and Ward and June aren't here to help ;D
Welcome to the forum BB.
W E L C O M E to the Forum Beaver Believer!
Welcome to the fun Beav
Remember the key to a good smoke is "Slow and Low" so dont freak out when the butt stalls at an IT of 160 F for hours on end.
welcome aboard, listen to some of these pro's on here they have givin me me some great recipes. i am new to this to. good luck.
Welcome Beaver! Your purchase was worth the wait. Lots of good info here.
Thanks for all the welcome messages.
The BIG plan.
Buy OBS on Saturday. Clean and prime the beast.
Sunday get everything ready to go and load her up.
BBQ feast on Monday...posting pics along the way of course.
I'm salivating already...I did an all day pulled pork in the oven that was actually pretty good but i know this will blow it out of the water.
Clean and prime?
Wipe walls with a paper towel, then season the smoker according to directions.
If you want to get a jump on your owners manul you can go to Bradley home page and down load it.
It makes things easier the first day.
BB, interesting mascot. I had a Beaver as my mascot here in Arizona, Scottsdale High School. Is that where that's from?
Hi Beaver and welcome to the forum. Good luck on your first smoke in the Bradley.
KevinG,

Smoker puchased
Cleaned it up
Currently seasoning.
Everything seems to be working the way it should.
Thanks Bradley!!!
You are going to love it. I just cold smoked 7lbs of cured Atlantic salmon, 2lbs of old cheddar, 2 lbs of medium cheddar and threw in 1/2lb of cream cheese for kicks yesterday. Salmon is awesome, have to wait about 2 weeks from what I've read to try the cheese.
Which recipe did you use for the salmon? It is probably what i'm going to do next?
I did the Smoked Gravlox (twice now) out of the Bradly Smoker Cookbook. came with my OBS and is available on their website. I used alder for 3 full hours.
