Well I finally fired up the smoker yesterday. Truly an enlightening experience. I did 2 racks of ribs that I rubbed overnight and 4 chicken breasts that I injected with some garlic rosemary butter. The Bradley took a while to heat up and after putting the meats in took a couple of hours more to reach 220 degrees. But once there it stayed there. I started the smoke when the temp. hit 150 and continued for 3 1/2 hrs. Everything was pretty much done by then. FTC'd for about an hour. Color was beatiful, tastes beyond my belief. Oh, and of course slathered on my home-made chipolte/brown sugar BBQ sauce. The best part,aside from eating, was the learning process. After being saturated with all the great info and tips from everyone here, everything just went so smoooth. Everyone loved the food and I was 100% satisfied with the way all turned out. Now it's off to make myself 200% satisfied. Thanks for all the posts and help.

1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
