i just got to make comments here. but its all true i want to thank everyone who has help me with my smoking experiances. excpecially oldman mr.duckKiller(aka mallardwacker) thanks guys you guys are precise on everything. the first think i tried with the BS was a spatchcock chicken i was doubting at first the smoker the skin wz rubbery. the problem i had with that was i kept the vent closed and the temp waz way to hight. but then i tried ribs the first time i burnt the heck out of them. everyone that needs advice i would highly recomend this site. The first time i cook a pork but i didnt have time to wait till the advice people told me so i took it out a 170 degress the darn thing wouldnt pull. I read all those little cards you get with the pucks you purchase with the pucks the pulled pork says take it out at the minium of 160. well i did my thing as as a newbie.i ask around did research and wallahh. the second time i tried it i had somewhere in the ball field of 9 pounds of butt and we ate it and there wz nothing left. The ribs issue wz differnt that i never went over 210 degress that wz long and slow i acutally got a spray bottle half and half of apple juice and apple cider vinger. i sprayed it half way i say when it hit about 150 degreed and then i sprayed the dickens out of it when it 185 FTC <font size="4"></font id="size4"> soacked it acutallly. then FTC(FOIL..TOWEL..COOLER)it 2 hours l*ter i flarde up the gas grill and put some cattermans orginal bbq sauce on it. that was great....
the morel of my story is bbq/smoking takes a little practice(dont get me wrong if i did my reasearch some of this never would happened)but this website helps everyone out. I JUST thanks to everyone thats gives time to newbie questions because i wz there once and so has everyone else..

I'd like to echo Clarego's comments. I've been lurking on this site for some time now and in honesty I probably would not have bought my Bradley if I had never seen this forum.
This place is kinda like a 24/7 help line that comes free with the product. In my few days here I've asked a couple of questions that I know have probably been asked 1000 times before but within minute of posting I had multiple answers all giving great advice and insight.
I've been part of a number of different Internet forums over the years but this one stands out as one of the very best. I've never seen a group of folks so willing to help out others. With all of th crazy stuff going on in the world today, with all the fighting, all the greediness and selfishness a virtual community like this really does reaffirm a persons faith in humanity.
Thank you all for what you give in these forums, it truely is appreciated.

Well Thank you for your kind words. I thank on my behalf and on the behalf of every member who has taken the time to reply to a question. There is no doubt in my mind that this community is heavily ghosted.
With the exception of a couple of *cough* pecker-heads every member here who has ever posting has brought something to this table.
If there is one fustration I have here it is with the various reasons that people Ghost. I know that everyone has something to bring to the table. I personlly don't care if a person has a bradley unit or is smokin' using a card board box.
With that said I will add to this to all that Ghost here...Come-on-down. The water is just fine.

If a man says he knows anything at all, he knows nothing what he aught to know. But...
As long as I've got the keys to the smokehouse, we will remain a community that enjoys talking smoking and have members that can put other issues aside in order to do that. I'm sure that a lot of us could probably come to fisticuffs over some issue or another, but this is a safe-haven for smoke-talk.
I applaud you all![:)][:)][8D]

Ya think next time I check into a hotel & they ask "Smoking or Non?" they would mind?
Kirk,
You said it. I have to say it's one of the most well mannered and most helping/informitive boards around. We may not be perferct but, like you said it is a safe haven. Thanks...
