Just wanted to let everyone know we now have the new Jim Beam 4 Rack Digital Smoker and Jim Beam Bisquettes in stock. The bisquettes are available in 12, 48 and 120 packs. The smoker is exactly the same as the original 4 rack except for the fact is has a Jim Beam logo on the front.

Have you smoked with those pucks? where do they fit in the "flavor scale ?
Alder <-> Mesquite
I may have to change my flavor of wood :o Jim Beam is my choice of bourbon (in moderation of course) ;D

Unless I am mistaken I think the pucks are made from oak barrells that once contained Jim Beam.
Another arm twisted. Just ordered.
Jim Beam, class act Kentucky limestone cave aged fine Bourbon ;D
I bet those will make for a great smoke.
I grudgingly used Jack Daniels wood chips before because thats all I could find at the time. I used those to smoke up pepperoni. But they did come out good though. I still would of rather used Jim Beam wood instead. I know the Jack Daniels wood is used from the oak barrels used to store their whiskey in, Im more then sure the Jim Beam wood is the same thing. Being Bourbon and Whiskey barrels are technically only to be used once for each batch for premium Bourbon.
And yes, there is a differance between Bourbon and Whiskey. Bourbon is the good stuff only from Kentucky. The rest is just Whiskey. :P
I'm just partial to anything Kentucky being I lived here all my life :)

You _do_ know those ain't mequite, right ?
I wonder if the barrels used aged a batch of 4, 7 or black lable of Beam. Either way, this is pretty awsome :D

The Jim Beam are made from Hickory Barrells
and the Crown Royal are made from Oak Barrels
I saw them being made first hand. ;D
We sell both the Jim Beam bisquettes and the Crown Royal Bisquettes.

Haven't had a chance to try them yet. I am hoping to fire up the smoker this weekend and give them a go. If I do I'll let you know how the flavor is.
Definitely interested in hearing others opinions once they try them.

That makes them all the better :D
Just got my Jim Beam order and they are *OAK*
Who did you get them from?
Oak is good but I hope you didn't pay extra for the Beam.
Ordered from Yard & Pool. They were shipped direct from Bradley.

I am sure Bryan will be able to get it straightened out.
To Solve the mystery
The Jim Beam bisquettes are made from Oak Barrels that did contain Jim Beam
The Crown Royal bisquettes are made from Oak Barrels that did contain Crown royal
Happy Smokin
Bradley Smokers
Thank you for solving that mystery, Grand Poobah ;) ;D ;D
OK - I stand uncorrected. :D

Scrape the white-out off the monitor!

For you bourbon barrel fans, here's some trivia for you. The Maker's Mark barrels are used only once. Then they are sold and shipped to Scotland where Scotch whiskey is stored in them. So if you drink Scotch you are getting a bit of good Kentucky Bourbon in every sip.
Us folks from KY know worthless things like that. ;) There is a barrel of Maker's Mark in Loretto KY with a little copper panel on it that bears my name. Comes from being an "official" Maker's Mark ambassador. You should really sign up to be one as it costs nothing and every so often they send you some neat little gift. They don't however send you bottles of bourbon. >:( :D You can sign up on their website.

We had to ship this particular order directly from Bradley because we sold out of our stock very quickly. We now have more in stock.
Bryan,
Do you know when you will have the Crown Royal bisquettes in stock ?
I am really interested to hear if the infusion of the bourbon/whiskey in the wood makes a difference in flavor of the end product.

I use JD pellets in my Traeger and you can taste the hint of the JD in the meat. I would think its the same in the BS. But then again after i drink half the bottle it all tastes like JD :D :D :D

I have some of these on order. I am going to smoke one of my standard recipes, probably a pork butt, and see. I usually use Hickory for that, so maybe not. I think I will smoke a chicken with the JB bisquettes first.

Unfortunately, due to Bradley's contract with Crown Royal they cannot sell them in the US. Not sure why but we cannot get them. Sorry, I will keep trying.

Thanks for the enlightenment. :o
My hubby would think that grass pucks taste good when he gets the JD out...so I'm with ya NePa!!! ;D But...I am interested in...if there is really a flavor diff... :-\
I still have not tried these yet cause I'm not that used to oak on anything. Gotta do wings tomorrow, should I give these beam bisqys a go??? ::)

Oak pretty much goes with anything. I prefer to use in on beef.
Just ordered some Jim Beam pucks. Does anyone have an opinion on them yet?
So far, I'd say they smell better smoking than really impart any different flavor to the food. I have not done a side by side compare with regular oak bisquettes, and I just smoked some chicken leg quarters with them, so that will be the test. If you can't taste the difference on chicken, which takes smoke very readily, then you won't taste it elsewhere.
I, too, noticed a difference in the smell when smoking.........maybe a little while eating but not enough that made me go......Ahhhhhhhhhh.

Interesting. Well, as long as they don't taste BAD, they will be useful. One can never have enough bisquettes on hand!
I've used them on NY Strip steak, and chicken thighs, and I notices a great difference in smoke flavor. Try using minimal seasoning, such as just salt, and pepper (maybe a little garlic powder), then you can easily tell the difference between oak and JB.
The problem I have with the JB bisquettes is that only the bottom half of the bisquette will burn. At first I thought it was my burner, but other bisquettes burn completely. They seem to be a lot more compressed then the other bisquettes, so that my be the problem or at least part of the problem. On the other hand, both times I used JB, I was smoking while the ambient temperature was in the single digits, and a wind of 10 mph.
I noticed that too, I thought my bisquette burner was having a problem.
I guess you have to have them right side up to get the JB flavor ;D
Funny mine burn all the way up... go figure.
I'll have to see if mine burn all the way up when I get em.
Yesterday I used my new BDS6, PID and Maverick for the first time. Everything worked just as expected. I was happy.
Prior to this I was using an OBS.

That's funny.
The second time I used them, I wanted to use an empty bowl and flip them over and place it back on the burner. :)
