Title: Another New Guy
Post by: draperjojo on August 16, 2014, 09:37:06 AM
Hello to all. Plugged in my brand new Bradley to burn it in and had all of the bisquits launch out of the tray one right after the other with a loud beeping going on and a flashing "E". I did open up the smoke generator and plug the micro switch into the cable that it should have been plugged into...thanks to a quick internet search. Hopefully it's all up from here. I'd like to try out a pork shoulder once its checked out okay. I'm always looking for good recipes and tips!

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 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.

That's in the stall period and it will seem like forever before it gets through it. The key is to not rush it and let it continue on its own.  You will appreciate the tender results later.
