New to the Bradley experience

[Chilebear]

I've been smoking nearly all my adult life using everything from a Weber Kettle to foil pouches of wood chips in my gas grill, but just got my new BDS for my 56th birthday. It's seasoning right now and I can't wait to put it to use for Thanksgiving.

Welcome aboard.  What size turkey are you planning on smoking?

[Chilebear]

Actually braising the turkey but making a version of Atomic Buffalo Turds ;D (Jalapeños, herbed cream cheese, wrapped in bacon and smoked) I stole this idea from a smoked meat vendor at a music festival in central VA.

Sounds good!.  Be sure and check out the Bradley User Recipe Site.  There's a version for smoking ABT's and a whole lot more.  You can compare it with the one you're doing and see what temp, etc., they used.

I spent a night in Front Royal back in '97, when I pedaled the length of the Blue Ridge Parkway with a group on our way from the Gulf Coast in FL to Portland, ME.  Nice area but also a lot of climbing.  :)

I've had an original 4 rack Bradley for over 7 years.  Never had a problem and it's gotten a LOT of use.
