I would begin by checking the power source to ensure the outlet has power. If it does, the next step would be to use a multimeter to check the fuse on the smoke generator.

Sausage Making / Re: Storing unsmoked sausage

The USDA says for uncooked sausage (even with cure) only 1 - 2 days, but I've have held sausage for up to 5 days, before I had a chance to smoke them.

If you are making stuffed sausage, and you let it sit in the refrigerator, prior to stuffing; you may find it very difficult to stuff.

Sausage Making / Storing unsmoked sausage

How long can I store unsmoked sausage in the fridge before smoking. It is already mixed with seasoning and cure and stuffed in casings.

Hi Zamora;

Welcome to the forum.

Those pieces are confusing if there are no clear directions. In your manual, there is an internal components  diagram that shows the location of both items.

First, that small bowl is called the condensation bowl. That is to catch any condensation that builds up around the vent from dripping on your food. This is called "Black Rain". After assembling the inside cabinet components, you should have assembled a wire rack that runs horizontally across the top or the rack support. That bowl goes in a slot of that wire rack, just under the vent opening. In my manual, it is shown on page 9, and it is identified as number 7 in the diagram.

The black oval piece, is called the "Smoke Diffuser". You will find it on that same page, and it is identified as number 3.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask.

Just got my P10 in the mail. A little light on the directions. I am utterly bewildered as to the proper placement of a little silver bowl (about 4 inches in diameter) and a black metal oval adorned with vent slots. geometry dash breeze

They may be able to provide additional troubleshooting steps or recommend replacement parts, such as a new motor with more torque, if necessary.

Hello there, allanglazier! I'm glad to have you join our forum!

I generally will get a response within 24 hours. You probably got a response by the time I post this message.

There is a sensor that will begin feeding the bisquettes when the burners get hot enough. So, it could be a sensor problem.

Before my motor became too weak to rotate the turn table at all, at first when I got the Err3, I could get it to feed properly after pressing the manual feed button. At the beginning that was enough to correct it through the rest of the smoke time. After a while, I would get the Err3 message a few times during the smoke time, and would have to press the manual feed button to get it to start feeding again. Eventually the motor became too weak to rotate the turntable at all. It would only move the turntable about 1/2-inch, reverse to the start position, then display the Err3 message. It would no longer feed, even after pushing the manual feed.

I was able to update the firmware to a certain point, but since I had an early version, I could only update to a point. But I recall you have a European P10 model, and the firmware update may be different. Their support tech. should be able to work you through the update.

Thanks for the reply and info! I don't get any error message at all and all seems to work fine after I manually feed the first puck. I presume there is some sort of sensor that tells the smoker to feed the first puck when the burner is up to temperature. Maybe there is an issue with that.
I have emailed Bradley so hopefully they come back with something.

Also, have you ever successfully updated the firmware? I have never been able to do it. I put the .bin file on the supplied USB and follow the instructions but all I get is EEEE on the display for about 40 seconds then it just reverts to the temperature and had not updated.

Are you getting an Err3 message on your display?

If all other functions are working, it is probably your motor. Mine was acting like that until it stop feeding, even manually. But if you are not receiving an Err3 message, there may be another problem. Send an email to Bradley Support Tech., just to confirm, what the problem could be. Also, with any electronic these days. I always include unplugging the device for a minute or so, then plugging it back in, as part of my troubleshooting. Some times that works.

In the past I always had a problem trying to disassemble the Bisquettes Despenser Assembly. The screws seemed too tight, and I couldn't unscrew them, and came close to stripping them. Then I found out I was using the wrong size Philip screwdriver head. If you don't have a multi-head screw driver set, invest in one. After trying different heads, I found a head that solidly fit into the screw head, and the screws came out fairly easily. I was surprised at what head had the best fit, because it looked too big for the slots of the screw.
