Just thought I would say hi and introduce myself. My name is Dave, I live in Alberta and just got a Bradley smoker for a house warming gift yesterday. I couldn't resist and tried it out today after seasoning it. Caught some fresh trout out of a mountain stream this morning and away I went. Man I love this thing. I should have done this a long time ago. Anyhow I have just finished browsing through this forum and it seems to have some good info. I am new to all of this as of a few hours ago so I wont have any advice at all (yet) hahaha. I hope to meat (pardon the pun) alot of new people on here and hopefully will become a great smoker in the future. Have a great night everyone and good to meet you in advance. ;D ;) ;D

Thank you for the welcome. I am sure I will have alot of questions and I will use the search option first for sure. I would hate to ask a question that is asked over and over and over and over. I have just been doing some checking around and playing with options lol... This is a great site.
Welcome Dave,
You will definatly get a lot of great help here and we look forward from learning from you as well. Being new to the Bradley does not eliminate one from being able to share some wisdom with even the well seasoned ones. ;)

You are not going to believe the education that some of the folks can give you should you ask. I have already asked all of those questions that you say you don't want to ask. ASK THEM! These folks are great.

A hearty Hello from Northern Indiana! It's a regular pool party here Dave, so jump on in, the water is nice. Never be afraid to ask questions even if you think they've been asked. Someone will gladly answer them. The only stupid question is the one you don't ask.
The folks here are amongst the best on the internet, so enjoy yourself here and with your new toy.

I think this is going to be a site I visit often. The warm welcome I have recieved from all you has made my day. I will try and be helpful to whom I can and maybe be the mad scientist with a smoker I want to become. I am a big fan of wild meat, deer, moose, elk, game bird (partridge, phesant, etc). I have one favorite that I do for the people that dont like the taste of wild meat, and just wondering if there are tricks I could do with the smoker that will still be great tasteing. I usually wrap my wild meat in bacon and spice up well to kill the wild taste, and cook it on high for a very short time. Is it possible to do the same wild meat wrapped in bacon, but in the smoker and eat it right away? without having to toss it on the bbq? Thanks again for the welcome to your site.
Dave :) :) :) ;D
Ah...gotta it ......;oh crap nevermind......I'm just here to help! ;D
