Feedback and Help / Re: Online Users and Forum Act...

Last post by watchdog56 - June 30, 2025, 06:24:37 AM

I do miss all the posts over the last few years. I check in a couple times a week and it is sad that there are not many posts anymore.

I 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'".

Feedback and Help / Online Users and Forum Activit...

Last post by TedEbear - June 28, 2025, 07:55:40 AM

I 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 AM

Yes, 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.

Vegetables, Cheese, Nuts / Re: First cheese smoke

Your first time smoking cheese sounds great! Keeping the temperature controlled with ice packs is a great technique would love to see how the flavor develops after a month in the fridge

The Digital Smokers (BTDS76P & BTDS108P) / Re: Error "E" light and beep

You replaced the short wire connecting the two boxes — this sounds like you've checked the connection between the hopper and the main control, so that should rule out a temporary connection error.

Start by boiling your eggs until they reach your desired firmness (usually 10-12 minutes for hard-boiled eggs).
