Since it seems this board gets more traffic than New Topics, I figured I'd post it here.
We're closing it down. Lots of reasons why, no bad taste, looking forward to our regained free time. Thank you to all who have supported us over the past years.
It will actually allow me to get back to smoking on the weekends and justify to Anne spending a few hours a week here chatting with you folks. The venture started as a fun sideline hobby, but has taken me away from what I love to do. It's not fun anymore, so I'm out.
We're offering 20% off everything Bradley for the next few days, see the website for details. Since we will only be taking phone orders, if there is something you need that's not listed on the site, ask us, we probably have it.
I've "inter-met" many people I consider friends during the last 6 years. I want to be able to spend time with them here on the forum once again. :)
As always,
Smoke On 8),
Kirk
Sure hate to see ya go out of business, but am happy for ya!
You have been my only source of Bradley products. I have seen some advertising indicating slightly lower prices on some things, but I preferred to deal with you and your wife. You guys are number 1 in my book.
Chez,
As you know as a supplier you and that young girl you married are tops... I fully understand your thought line and reasons....
I cannot tell you the number of times in the past 12 months I've asked myself why am I doing what I'm doing now at my age.
Glad to see ya breaking out.
Raye
Sorry to see you go but your time with your honey is much more important. Good luck in the future.
Mike
Sorry to hear this. Good luck with your future endeavors.
Good luck to you Kirk, you and Anne have been kind enough to ship stuff to me here on the other side of the pond on a couple of occasions and I have nothing but the highest regards for you both.
Businesses who regard providing a good service to customers high on their list of priorities are becoming few and far between and Chez Bubba certainly fitted into that category both from my limited experience but more obviously from the number of positive comments here on the forum.
BUT I NEED BUBBA PUCKS!!! Damn my procrastination!

owrstrich
Missed us??? ??? When were you there?
We were there Friday afternoon & most of Saturday. I asked & nobody had seen you two. Meeting you guys was supposed to be a highlight for Anne as she was an Indyvirgin.
Or were you in your Agent-wear?
Kirk
Making these calls are tough, but you have to do what's right for you and your family.
I will cherish the bubba pucks I have as well as the ChezBubba frisge magnets, or should I say, smoker magnets.
Smoker Magnets? ???
Chez Smoker Magnets, will be a collectors item in the future. Sad Day but respectable.
QuoteChez Smoker Magnets,
My BS wears this with pride!!!!!!! :D :D :D
You and Anne set the standard for Bradley service, amigo. Nobody can fill those shoes (but NePaSmoker is giving it a go from "inside" Cabela's!!). Sorry to see CB go but glad to see that your life priorities are in order.....does this mean I'd better get going on getting that replacement boat in the water?!?!?
QuoteChez Smoker Magnets, will be a collectors item in the future
Maybe Bubba Pucks will become a collectors item too, is anyone else going to market them??

Kirk will be announcing the availability status of his exclusive accessories, but a certain "insider", whose name shall remain anonymous, (and currently has fresh fish in the reefer that needs processing ;D), tells me that the Bubba Pucks will still be marketed under that name and are available now at '
[email protected] ' ....website to follow! ;) So keep collecting them, Manx!! :D ;)
I certainly had a pleasant buying experience from you folks. I wish you all the happiness in the world as you pursue new avenues.
Hell guys this post sounds like a funeral.Lets throw a party.They get to enjoy some real together time.

Good news, be a shame if they passed in BS mythology!!!! :D :D :D :D
QuoteThis calls for a good old fashion WAKE!
Perhaps we should choose a date (maybe a time too) and all raise a few glasses to the "passing" of Chez Bubba!! ;)
Yeah we should raise a glass to Anne and Kirk, in fact a few glasses might be more suitable ;D
I'm gonna take good care of my Bubba pucks & magnet, they are very rare on this side of the pond, and will surely now become collectors items, and no they ain't for sale! (http://privat.bluezone.no/birgitf/butt.gif)

We look forward to your visits on Tuesdays, when you get chance. Course you will still be busy clearing inventory. I am calling Monday BTW.
Thanks for all you have and still do for us and we are with you and will continue to enjoy your interaction with us as we all grow as amazing food smokers and friends.
Cheers.
Welcome friend.
Enjoy your free time Kirk and like LS I also will treasure my pucks and I echo his sentiments. A huge THANK YOU for all you did.
Neil
OK, the wake thing sounds pretty good to us too, but we ain't dead yet! ;D We plan a celebratory dinner when this is all wrapped up & I'll post the time & date so we can all have a toast together! :)
For an update, we are now sold out of Original Black Smokers, Bubba Pucks, 120 Alder & Replacement doors.
Bubba Pucks will be available through another source. Once I know they're ready to ship I will sticky something atop the Accessories page.
Seein' light at the end of the tunnel,
Kirk

Holy crap I made it just under the wire. I placed my order this morning for Bubba Pucks, does this mean I got the last original set? Talk about a collectors item!!
i had my bubba pucks on there burner for hours and they never make no smoke...
the brown ones smoke real good... the silvers ones got no smoke at all...
i tried them many times... defective i proclaim you...
i will be returning my bubba pucks directly before this internet scammer is shut down for good...
no smoke no justice... there is justice on the internet...

Got any of those sausage racks left? And if so, what do they cost? Didn't see any prices on the web site.
Best of luck to you and your wife. I run a small business as well and I can totally relate with everything you mentioned. So many people think about starting a business but never do. At least you can say you gave it an honest try, succeeded and no doubt learned a lot. Congrats for giving it a go and doing so well for so long.
-Brian
