Woohoo!!!

Got an early Father's Day present.....A Bradley BTDS76P Digital Smoker!!!
While I hate the thought of giving up my old tried and true charcoal grille/smoker, I cannot wait to get smoking with this thing  :D

Just wanted to say hey......So no I am off to try and find some tips on this forum on how to use the Mighty Mechanism of Smoke (MMOS) LOL

Welcome aboard!  Here's my new smoker starter kit that should help get you on your way.

Bradley Smoker FAQs (http://www.susanminor.org/forums/showthread.php?481-Bradley-Smoker-FAQ-s)

There are more but try those out before getting into things like enclosures for storing your Bradley outdoors, mods to your smoker, etc.  I'm sure someone will be along to help you with those if you're interested.

Any plans for your first smoke?  Pork butts (I think the new name is Boston roast) are easy and forgiving, although they can take a long time to cook.  Take some before/after pics of your efforts and post them if you're so inclined.  People around here like to see pics.

Wow, thanks Ted for the info.  It will help plenty.
Yeah, my first smoke with MMOS will be a pork butt.
However, I will be doing a lot of buffalo meat, pork chops and some beef briskets as the mainstay. 

Thanks again

Hi Mountainmac;

Welcome to the forum.

Hang on to your old tried and true charcoal grill/smoker. Different cooking techniques require different equipment, and you will find that you still need a charcoal cooker.

Welcome to the forum. Make sure you use a meat themometer to take the pork butt to the right temperature. I use 190 internal temp (IT). Easier to pull that way.

Don't forget to FTC those butts. That's wrap in foil, then wrap in a towel, and place in a dry cooler. Keep them in there 2-3 hours and then pull. I have kept up to 5 hours and they remain HOT. A must for pork butts.

Welcome from Texas, you scored a great father's day. You found the greatest wealth of information I've ever seen in a forum. I just got started with mine a few weeks back and everything I've picked up here worked great.
