Fingers crossed for third time lucky!

Bradley Raven Smoker / Re: Bradley Raven Smoker
Last post by [email protected] - November 09, 2024, 10:06:51 AMJust a note to commiserate. we got a new Raven Smoker and planned to season it before Thanksgiving. I have been a loyal Bradley smoker user for over 25 years and have always appreciated the support and quality of their products. I started with an original, upgraded to a digital and now, was very excited to get their state of the art Raven.
1st one arrived very banged up. As it was a weekend, it took them a few days to respond. But the support folks sent Fedex to pick it up; and the next day after it arrived back to them, sent out a second try.
Just today, we gently opened the box taking pictures every step of the way and sharing the excitement with family; to once again be disappointed that the smoker arrived looking like a slightly used pinata.
As today is Saturday, I boxed it back up and will wait again to contact support. They have been helpful and kind, but the experience has been disappointing. I already prepared a 15-lb prime brisket for a family get-together tomorrow. Guess it is oven-bound until the next Raven lands.
It would be horrible if this was a gift or had I waited to just before the holiday to go through this.
Dark days raven experience...

Vegetables, Cheese, Nuts / Re: My 2nd try at nuts
Last post by SteveMPolizzi - November 06, 2024, 07:40:48 PMThis is a very special process using apple chunks for smoking, absolutely essential for anyone wanting to replicate your results. I can only imagine how delicious they are straight out of the smoker!

The New Bradley Professional Smoker (BS1019) / Meatprobe cable with connector...
Last post by E-tronic - November 06, 2024, 09:51:04 AMHello all!
This is my first post on this forum. I am currently repairing a BS1019 that has bent pins in both the male chassis connectors, IE the one you connect the meatprobes to. Looks like Hirose connectors, but I rather buy the original cable with connectors instead of solder a new chassis connector. I have searched a lot, but to no avail.
Any tips on where I can find these?
Thank you!

Last post by TedEbear - November 06, 2024, 08:22:08 AMQuote from: malansanni70 on November 05, 2024, 12:00:38 AMhowever do they have warranty if we upgrade to 900w and it burns out? or should we buy another product?If you're asking if you modify your Bradley smoker to a 900w element whether it will still be covered by a warranty, I'm pretty sure the answer is no. I don't believe any manufacturer would still warrant their product once it has been modified.

Hot Smoking and Barbecuing / Re: Small Piece of Brisket
Last post by SNordstrom - November 04, 2024, 06:50:28 PMSounds like you nailed the flavor and bark, but yeah, flats can dry out on you. try wrapping in butcher paper instead of foil around the stall (usually 150–160°C)... helps retain moisture without making the bark too soft.

Hot Smoking and Barbecuing / Re: Determining time and temp ...
Last post by SNordstrom - November 04, 2024, 06:49:24 PMWrapping during the stall is a good move, but for chuck roast, it usually stalls around 150–160°F, so you hit it about right. Wrapping at a higher temp (like 170°F) can work too but may need more time after to get tender.
