Hello from Northern Illinois

Hi guys,
I am completely new to smoking, I got the 611 as a gift from some friends, I am an avid griller, and have always wanted a smoker, I look forward to learning from everyone here.

Bradley Smoker FAQs

There are more but try those out before getting into things like enclosures for storing your Bradley outdoors, mods to your smoker, etc.  I'm sure someone will be along to help you with those if you're interested.

Any plans for your first smoke?  Pork butts (I think the new name is Boston roast) are easy and forgiving, although they can take a long time to cook.  Take some before/after pics of your efforts and post them if you're so inclined.  People around here like to see pics.
