old bradley- new member!

 Hi, I'm kind of a original Bradley smoker kind of guy. I've had my smoker for about 7 yrs. The door seal is leaking, the temp switch is broken off, the thing has been blown off my deck a few times, it has big dents in it from a hail storm a few mths ago! I've smoked hundreds of pounds of meat in it, using many of the recipes found right here on this Bradley site. I've found dry rub recipes,sauce recipes,pickled egg recipes, you name it! I just bought a replacement for the 1st Bradley, however, I think I'm going to order a new door seal and see just how long I can use the 1st one. The only problem I've had is an advance switch getting sticky. A shot of WD 40 took care of that problem. Just wanted to thank you for the good ideas. I've had more than my share of compliments from those who have eaten what I've smoked. A few have even gone out and bought a Bradley after seeing how easy it was to use!

Welcome oldskool68.  Sounds like you've given it a pretty good workout over the years.

Welcome in the forum Oldskool and I guess better late than never. Your discription of all the "beatings' your OBS had taken over the years gives me even more confidence in the choice I made in Bradley; I have the 6 racks DBS.
