Quote from: Smokeville on December 13, 2024, 06:24:02 AMAnd thanks to Kummok for the brine recipe and instructions. Truly world class.

I don't think Kummok has been active on the forum in a little while but his salmon recipe was one of the most iconic and what he didn't know about the subject could be written on a postage stamp!

Sad day indeed when Bradley posted about the demise of the forum.

Quote from: manxman on December 13, 2024, 01:41:01 AMNot particularly surprised by this announcement because the halcyon days of the forum have long gone of which I have many happy memories.

As do I...  I was just fondly recalling that box full of Bradley smoked kippers you sent me when I still lived in London! I've been 10 years back in Canada now, but checking in and seeing so many familiar names still active has been nice. Also noting with sadness the loss of other long term familiar voices, I only just saw the news about Hab... we had a lot of conversations over the years.
10 years!? Blimey how time flies this is one of many happy memories of the camaraderie on the forum back in the day so to speak. I am still using some of the original metal spacer pucks and a wire rack holder that were despatched across the pond from this era.

Still use Oldman's recipe site from time to time, this link appears to work or at least it did... seems a bit intermittent!?

Nice to hear from you EC.

It would also be nice if Bradley Head Office acknowledged and offered some feedback on the comments made by a couple of the old timers, I appreciate the Bradley Facebook page has been around for a good few years too and is nothing new, I am just not a fan.

I would hate for this to shut down because as others have said there is so much great information here.

I do have a link for susan minor site that has recipes in it just not sure if this is going to work but hopefully :

Well I have tried a couple different things to get this to post but it does not work. Sorry.

I'm sorry this forum is ending... It has been a great resource over the years.

And thanks to Kummok for the brine recipe and instructions. Truly world class.

Best regards,

Not particularly surprised by this announcement because the halcyon days of the forum have long gone of which I have many happy memories.

Conversely the forum contains a mass of information that is relevant and useful to current and future customers covering a myriad of subjects including recipes, recipe advise, technical issues and fixes for all things Bradley.

Presumably Bradley are not looking to discard this gold mine of information because in my view this would be totally unacceptable and something of an insult to those members that contributed so much including those no longer with us.

Perhaps make it a read only archive as others have suggested to preserve the massive efforts of those committed Bradley customers?

I don't do Facebook and would rather have root canal dentistry and neither do I want to lose access to all the information and PM's I have access to on the current forum.

Perhaps something of a compromise is in order here?

What terrible news! Completely agree with KyNola. Although I rarely post much anymore, I'm still a regular visitor and literally rely on the vast experience of all the members here. I still look up recipes, and revisit old posts... including my own to remind myself how I did a certain thing that I did once 10 years ago and forgot what I did.

I hope you (Bradley support... is it still you Brian?) reconsider or perhaps make arrangements for this to be archived somewhere even if only read-only.

Personally, not a mainstream social media person and definitely not a Facebook user.

Will the forum disappear entirely from the website? It would be a shame to lose all of the recipes that have been contributed and accumulated over the years. If the forum is to be eliminated entirely, would you consider establishing a section for the contributed recipes on the website?
