Newly purchased Bradley Original

Hi folks!

Just picked up a BT1S1 from CTC here in Brantford. They were on sale and only had one left. Nice unit, but they sent the wrong cords for it, the panel has cracks, and the serial number came up as the digital model! ?? I emailed them on good Fri, surprisingly I got a reply on Sat. I need to call them on Tuesday. NP. If they are as good as everyone says on here for warranty, I'm not concerned in the least. After looking at the setup, I see one can use the smoker if he uses two computer power cords, one for the smoke gen., and one for the tower.  So that is just what I did to season it. Then on Easter Sunday I loaded up three racks of side ribs that were rubbed the night before, and a rack of taters and proceeded to try the 3-2-1 method. I used Apple bisquettes, it was difficult not to "peek" for three whole hours, but I managed! They looked good enough to eat after the smoke! But I stuck to the regiment and foiled 'em, then put on Canadian Club chicken 'n' rib sauce for the final hour or so. The final verdict? Well there's nothing left over, they were gone in like ten minutes, asking for more and when are we going to make some more? There is a BBQ type deli in town here and I have to say (IMHO) those ribs rival his. This thing is the cat! I am now thinking about incorporating it into a shelf in a shed that is yet to be built. Also, although it worked well, I think the second heater mod is in order, as I think it takes too long to recover after opening the door for foiling, etc.

Good stuff! Dan
