Quote from: Roy g on November 22, 2024, 07:57:55 AMHello from central Texas,
I am 84 years young and just purchased my third Bradley Raven.  First one was damaged, Bradley replaced it new one was slightly damaged on top.  Guess I will keep it instead of the hassle of returning it.  Everything works as advertised except for the Bluetooth setting. Have not been able to get it to work, waiting to hear from Bradley

Hello! Your excitement for the Bradley Raven at 84 is wonderful! Sorry about the Bluetooth troubles, but you seem to be handling them well. I hope Bradley responds soon and your new unit offers you delight!

I also tried many ways but it doesn't work, did you fix it?

I totally agree, SteveMPolizzi! Using apple wood for smoking not only creates a unique flavor but also brings a natural sweetness to the dish. This is definitely a secret that cannot be missed by those who love BBQ!

You can add a 900W Tempco element alongside the 500W Bradley element, but make sure your wiring and power supply can handle the increased load. Check the total wattage, and amperage requirements, and ensure your circuit breaker can support it safely.

For anyone interested the Raven is now available to pre order here in the UK at £849, strangely £150 cheaper than the P10 which is currently £999 so presumably an introductory "special offer"?

Given I do predominantly cold smoking I don't think either are suitable for me but if like most people the Bradley is used for hot smoking then the Raven would be worth a look at this price?

The Raven offers a larger cooking area compared to the P10. While specific dimensions for the Raven's racks aren't provided, users have noted its increased capacity. The P10, on the other hand, is known for its compact design, making it suitable for smaller batches.

Well, a little more than 3 years later, 5 Feb 2025, and the same thing happened. Searched the web for an answer and ended up back here at my original post, which I'd forgotten about. Same solution worked and I'm back in business. Same scenario too I think. Normally cook at 250F, running late so cranked up to 300F, and went back outside to a dead smoker. Very cold weather too.

Just thought that I would update that it happened again for the same reason, but the same fix worked perfectly. Reset the sensor behind the rear panel!  Yay!

That certainly is a good rule, fingers crossed they will respond positively!

Thank you manxman!

QuoteWouldn't hold your breath re such a firmware update, Bradley are not always the most proactive in such areas whatever the strength and merits of customer feedback.

I wrote to Bradley support asking about the firmware option directly after I posted and I will of course get back with the outcome as all should do when a problem or whatever matter is solved - which is a good rule!

Quote from: E-tronic on February 06, 2025, 01:50:43 AMThe BS1019 is now working since a few weeks back after I replaced the sensor for the bisquette heater. Thanks to manxman that directed me to Grakka I could order the spareparts I needed. Communicating with Grakka was to me a very pleasant experience and they were really helpful on all the questions I had.

Glad it is working fine now, I have always found Grakka very helpful indeed.
