Merry Christmas, I wonder if the Admin, would send a mass email, to all members, informing them of the planned closure?

That would give folks one last chance to say hello!

I received such an email the other day, although if everyone didn't get one I don't know why I apparently was one of a select few who did.

Anyway, a very Merry Christmas to everyone.  I've learned a lot from reading things on here from Habs, CRG and many others over the past 14 years since I became a member.  A Happy New Year to everyone in 2025 and beyond.

Very well said, Manx. For the forum it's especially bittersweet this year.

This is the last time there will be an opportunity to post Christmas wishes on the forum and it is also a chance to give a call out to a couple of well respected forum members CRG and Habs who are no longer with us, gone but not forgotten.

Always a time for happiness very often tinged with sadness but to one and all, members new and old here's hoping for a Merry Christmas and Best Wishes for a happy and prosperous 2025.

Nice update RockyMtnGuy and good luck with the Raven,

Hopefully Bradley will archive and make available the information and recipes already on the forum notwithstanding it is closing down? Also presume you have seen / use the time tested and proven recipe site?

Yes the box and feature set are attractive, larger racks, two 500w heating elements, Bluetooth connectivity, monitoring and control maybe helpful, currently using Thermopro wireless with app to monitor temperature, so simpler setup if it works, P10 probes less convenient. More adjustibility of smoke density per puck and hopefully even more stable and reliable than P10. I am hopeful I will love the Raven even more than my P10, and hope the black surface will be easier to keep looking cleaner than P10 stainless. Fingers crossed as there are very few reviews so far.

Thanks for posting and good smoking with your Raven. I'm seriously looking at the Raven as well. My 6 rack is over 10 years old and starting to show its age. Love it as well.

Funny I found this post I started 3 years ago today, the day I was receiving my P10. Three years later I am again an early adopter and received my new Raven yesterday. Since we were leaving for our mountain home I resisted the strong urge to open it and will wait til after Xmas. I have had 3 great years with my P10 that I wanted a second unit for my mountain second home. My brilliant plan was to wait til the raven was released, I could get one on sale, and use it as my primary and move P10 to mountains. Well the sale occurred and the raven successfully arrived directly from Bradley in amazing speed 3 days after ordering it arrived and UPS driver wheeled the box into my garage. Unfortunately I believe this forum is being discontinued. Thank you everyone for all your encouragement and helpful suggestions and recipes. I will miss this forum but leave with this thought, I am firmly a Bradley fanboy.  The pucks are very convenient, the P10 smoker did a great job with almost every recipe that I tried, the fails were usually due to user error and inexperience. The P10 had a couple of issues, stored outside on a covered patio usually covered with P10 cover when not in use. Bradley service was excellent helping me troubleshoot then sending replacement part and helping with the install. Bravo Bradley service. Plan to put P10 on rolling cart to live in garage then roll it out for a cook. The mountain house environment at 10,000ft elevation may be a bit harsh for my now well used and loved P10, though my 10yr old masterbuilt electric smoker has lived outside since my P10 arrived 3 yrs ago.
Unfortunately probably will not have the opportunity for a raven review before this forum is shut down.
Where is everyone from this forum going to go for recipe ideas, etc
Thanks again Bradley for this forum and all the great contributors and so many great meals from my smoker!
