I just got an e-mail from cabela's stating that my order has arrived. I will be stopping by there tomarow afternoon to pick up my new toy a OBS. Man am I excited.. Hope to have time to get her put together and cured tomarow night.
Something tells me you will make the time to get the smoker all set up and seasoned. Don't forget to pick up a box or 4 of bisquettes. Use them special blend ones to do the seasoning with.
Well I got more good news, the time to put it together is about 10 minutes.
If it was me I would go back to Bradley's home page and look at the owners
manual so you will have a step up on it tomorrow when you get it.
Congrats.
Yeah, I already picked up a 120 box of messy pucks, and 48 hickory a few days back. And have been reading up a bit... lol I feel like a littel kid.. I'm sure this will beat the heck out of my smoke hollow electric.... lol

I've got one of those hollow electrics, they ain't even in the same league as the Bradley. Congrats to you dribron, let us know how the first smoke goes.... take pictures. ;D ;D ;D
Congrats dribron. We want pictures! We want pictures! ;D
Make sure to take a couple of the interior prior to seasoning. It ain't ever gonna look like that again.
I'll have to try to rember to take pics,, if the excitment doesnt take over .. lol
Let the SMOKING begin!!!!!!!!!
We'll got it home, got it togther. Took all of about ten mins, heck I think it took longer to toss out the packaging.. lol Dang, if it aint pack up good. And what a nice machine, I mean the door open and close so smoothly, it's so well insulated. I havn't yet cured it, but will latter... wanted to read a bit of the manual. Then latter this week... Or tomarow I will be smoking something..... lets see, I've got ribs, and brisket in the freezer. Hmm, maybe a butt.... So many things to smoke and so littel time..... BUUUaaahhhhhaaaaaaaa!!!!
I would save the ribs and brisket for a time to be used latter.
Starting small is not a bad thing. Gives you some time to learn your smoker
and make sure everthing is AOK.
But, a BUTT would not be a bad first smoke either.
Again Congrats.
Great to hear, can't wait to read about your first smoke!
Yeah, I guess, but this isn't my first smoker, just my first bradley. Temp, time and patience, and low and slow I know.... lol
I will make sure to post a few pics when I do. Can't wait.. just need to find time to do it ... lol The weekend is usally my time, although this week is pretty darn slow for me.. Guess that is how it goes sometimes... lol

Call in sick! ;D
These folks are the best and their advice and support are spot on. It might be a good idea to get three bisquette pushers, aka Bubba Pucks. Saves bisquettes. The last three bisquettes only push; they don't burn.
Parrot Person (also very new to smoking)

Better yet, call in dead and then they won't expect you back so you can take as much time as you like. Then when you show up back there everyone will be so happy your still alive they will forget how much time you took off. Just think how much smoking you will get done with no pressure to get back to work. ;D ;D
If only that would work. Knowing my boss as I do, I am sure he'd be so outraged that he would dig me up just to put me back to work...lol
