Hot Smoking and Barbecuing / Re: Determining time and temp ...
Last post by Narsto - July 15, 2025, 11:25:22 PMI also use Bradley and like you, stall usually happens in 2 stages. I usually wrap when IT ~160°F and the bark is firm enough, and add a little tallow. My goal is IT 185 - 190°F if eating slices, or 202 - 205°F if shredding, when the meat is very tender. After wrapping, you should test the probe: if the probe slides slightly, it is done. Another suggestion is to check the accuracy of the thermometer and the wrapping time may need to be adjusted depending on the brand of meat.

The New Bradley Professional Smoker (BS1019) / P10 Popping Different Breakers...
Last post by nobbyv - July 03, 2025, 01:09:40 PMI have a P10 I can't have used more than five times. It works fine when heating the cabinet only, but as soon as I set the "Smoke" time (which turns on the bisquette heater) it pops the breaker. I've tried multiple outlets on different breakers, no other devices on these breakers. Any ideas?

Last post by Edward176 - July 02, 2025, 11:57:11 AMI check in a couple times a week and it is sad that there are not many posts anymore. I learned a great deal from this forum group, and made many acquaintances and friends. Thank you to all who contributed and shared their knowledge over the years. This has been (and still is) the best community that I've encountered.

Last post by manxman - July 01, 2025, 03:30:02 AMIt is a great shame that the forum is now a shadow of its former self, it was such a good source of help, advice and camaraderie back in the day!
As some are aware Bradley were looking at closing it down and the last I heard via Brian (Bradley HQ) was that once they had a mechanism to archive the more relevant parts (a third party did very kindly produce an archive) that would be the case, however that was at the back end of last year with no updates for a good while now?
Still pop by maybe once a week for old times sake.

Last post by KyNola - June 29, 2025, 06:02:17 AMI think maybe folks are using the forum as a source for problem solving and no so much "community" like it used to be. That's unfortunate. Some of my very best friends I found on this forum "but the times they are a changin'".

Last post by TedEbear - June 28, 2025, 07:55:40 AMI usually look at how many members and guests the forum says are currently online whenever I stop by to check for any new posts. I cannot believe there are actually hundreds of people on here each day but there have only been 8 new posts in the past 4 months, since the end of February.
Right now, it says that there are 267 guests and one member online and that there was a record 1,965 number of users online on 3/25/2025. What gives?

The Digital Smokers (BTDS76P & BTDS108P) / Re: Anyone. add 900w and 500w ...
Last post by Annata23 - June 09, 2025, 12:33:58 AMYes, it's possible to combine a 900W Tempco element and a 500W Bradley element for a total of 1400W, but it's not a standard modification. Most Bradley Smoker owners either replace the stock 500W element with a 900W Tempco element or add a second 500W element for 1000W total. Combining a 900W and 500W element increases the power draw significantly, which demands proper wiring, circuit capacity, and a suitable PID controller to manage the higher wattage.
