There have been many iconic characters here and I wouldn't even attempt to list them as I would probably do someone a disservice and miss them out!

Most go back many years to the days when the forum was a lot more active than it has been in recent years, a constant throughout all the good times and not so good was Habs and it is him who supported and was the backbone of this forum in recent years.. a remarkable character and no it will never be the same without him.

However that is also perhaps the main reasons why the information on this forum should live on in archived form as a testament to the likes of Mike and others who gave so much time and effort to help others such as myself.

Bradley owe them a lot, they should be naming a smoker after Habs! :-)

yeah, I was thinking the same thing. It seems kind of empty without Hab

Sorry to see you guys go, understandable, and without Hab's, it will never be the same!

Sorry to see this forum go. Like most of you here, I too visit often and read the comments. I have learned a great deal from all my brothers here and will be sad to see it end.
Thank You all who shared your knowledge and "Trade Secrets" that made my experiences smoking such a joy and love.

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,
