Thanks... good job FuBar. 

I know that Brian at Bradley was looking at ways and means to archive the forum and did say he would ensure this was done before the forum was taken down, there has been no update from him for a good while but he was waiting to hear from others within the Bradley organisation.

Much too valuable an asset to lose.

Hi all, the Bradley Smoker Forum has been preserved and you can find it on the Internet Archive's WayBack machine! The forum's homepage can be accessed directly here:

https://web.archive.org/web/20250103071237/https://forum.bradleysmoker.com/index.php

As the site is quite big it takes a few moments to load up and switch pages. There may be some deep parts of a section that havent been migrated to the WayBack Machine yet, but eventually it will all be there.

Alternatively, the preserved forum can be downloaded from Google Drive. The compressed file is 1.56GB and uncompressed is 7GB. Once uncompressed there's a folder called forum.bradleysmoker.com and a file called Load From Here. If you're using a Mac, clicking on the Load From Here shortcut will take you to the offline homepage of the complete forum as it were at the beginning of January.

If you're using Windows, go into the forum.bradleysmoker folder and scroll to the 50th file which is named index.php.html  Clicking on this index file will take you to the offline homepage. The file outside the folder called Load From Here is just a shortcut to this index file. Make a shortcut to the file and place it outside the folder for easy access.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/102e6pzrPrUd4T-qHOAUMdibFASbzhtFx/view?usp=sharing

When you follow the Google Drive link you'll get a message saying there's an error and the file can't be previewed, this is because it's compressed. Feel free to download the file and have the forum available for offline viewing.

A BIG thank you to everyone over the years who contributed and made the forum an awesome learning resource! Cheers and happy smoking!

Lot of good memories on this board, from the Smokeout I attended to the late nights in the chat room.  RIP to the friends I spend many hours in there with, who are no longer living, mainly La Quinta and CRG.  Also, thank you to the rest of you, you helped me through a ton more than you will ever know, especially from 2009-2012.

Stay tuned guys! A member of the forum has done a ton of work to make a Google Drive file where the forum will be duplicated in its entirety. You won't be able to add to it or post anything but the forum would be preserved for reference. He has also almost completed prepping the forum so it would be accessible via the Wayback Machine, an internet archive site.

As a courtesy I have contacted Wade Bradley for his permission to post the instructions here.

Stay tuned!

Still works!

I'm late to the party on this, but I can't seem to to download the recipe files...  I'm guessing with Habs gone, his Google Drive is no longer active...  says I need to request permission.



Well, it is 2025 and it is still here.  Anyway, I just saw your reply and if you click on that link that you quoted and go to reply #36 you can still d/l the recipe files in my Google Drive account.

Gonna miss this place. I've checked out the FB group...  just not the same...  but I guess times are a changin'.

Merry Christmas all...

Yeah, I'm not a fan of Facebook at all. OH well. Time to move on
