Well i'm two weeks with the original Bradley Smoker, and so far so good!
I did chicken the first smoke and it was good. (not great). A little too much smoke. I put smoke on it for 2.5 hours, but it was just chicken thighs and breasts.
The next smoke was great. I did pork side ribs. (i know i read that they are hard to do.) I followed a recipe from a book i have called "Championship BBQ Secrets for Real Smoked Food" by Karen Putman. I soaked them in apple juice for 24hrs in a bag. The next day i took them out and let them get to room temp. then i rubbed them with "flower of the Flame Rib Rub". I heated up the smoker to 200*. I put smoke on them for 3 hours cherry/hickory. Spraying with apple juice every half hour. At the 4.5 hour mark i put them in foil painted with a touch of honey and bbq sauce. I put them back in for 1.5 hours. After 6 hours i put them in my oven (preheated to 325*) still wrapped up and turned oven off. Made some sweet potatoes and veggies. Wow they were good.
Meat was very tender,wife and kids loved them.
Next is a beef brisket. It is in the fridge with mustard and rub as we speak.
Great site. I'll update on the brisket.
