General Discussions / Farewell Bradley Forum
Last post by manxman - Today at 07:18:08 AMFurther to the recent post from Bradley Head Office regarding this forum I would just like to say it has been a blast. The forum is but a shadow of its former self and the time is now right for it to come to an end, from my point of view the important thing now is that there will be a link to the archived forum via the BS website.
I have had many years of enjoyment here, for most of the time it was the only forum I frequented. The stuff I learnt is beyond measure but more than that it was the comradeship and huge variety of characters that frequented these pages for the larger part of that 20 years that made it what it was notwithstanding the recent past has not seen the same level of engagement.
I don't do Facebook or indeed any social media so wont be moving to the dark side as it were but I would just like the raise a proverbial glass to the Bradley Smoker Forum and all who sailed in her! Some of the old hands are still here, many no longer post and all too many are sadly no longer with us but to one and all, including Bradley Smoker HQ itself, thank you!
Very best wishes for the future.

Sausage Making / Re: Fresh Sausage and Danger Z...
Last post by manxman - Today at 06:58:29 AMPersonally I think they will be fine as long as all the normal rules of food safety and handling were adhered too and they are fully defrosted and cooked thoroughly.

Sausage Making / Fresh Sausage and Danger Zone
Last post by DADAKOTA - September 02, 2025, 06:48:16 AMMade a large batch of breakfast sausage yesterday. Air temp was 70 degrees. After grinding and mixing each 5# batch it went back in the fridge. These were then portioned into 1# packs and wrapped in plastic wrap. The individual 1# wrapped packs were then vac sealed. From when the sausage came out of the fridge for packing till it went into the freezer may have been as long as 2-3 hours. Should this be tossed out?

The New Bradley Professional Smoker (BS1019) / Re: Non working bisquette heat...
Last post by E-tronic - August 27, 2025, 04:48:35 AMYes, that is true, but the sensor got intermittently open when I just touched the sensor wiring where it enters the heather block. To repair the BS1019 is not a big deal but to find a distributor for the spareparts was. I also took some time to investigate the controller board for the heather's as a preventive action in case the smoker come back with a faulty PCB.

Last post by natalie321 - August 20, 2025, 09:57:57 PM238 Ω at room temp isn't crazy, it's probably just an NTC sensor that drops in resistance as it warms up, so your reading doesn't scream bad part.

Feedback and Help / Re: Online Users and Forum Act...
Last post by manxman - August 05, 2025, 12:43:42 AMDo they actually care?
On the face of it not a good advert for them anymore but if you look beyond that it contains a mine of great information buried in its pages.
Bradley really need to address the issue otherwise it will become even more of an embarrassment and target for spammers.
