New to Fourms

Halifax Aussie · October 29, 2009, 08:15:58 AM

Hi all I am about to get a new Bradley smoker in the next month or so and just doing my research.
I currently own a smaller chip smoker that is gas fueled, it is ok but temb control is a real bugger.

About me , Well I,m a Chef by trade and a Aussie that has just moved to Canada !
I have 2 kids and a wonderful wife, my Cooking was in Fusing Aussie bush foods with a Asian influence, now in Canada I can afford to play with salmon and seafood a lot more, thus will be very interested in the cold smoking side of things.
Cheers foe now .
Andy

Welcome Mate !

You are going to love it here but I lived in Oz for 3 months ( Melbourne ) a few years ago and wish I never came home !
Something just bit me there. I cried when I had to get on the plane to come home. The beer ( how I miss VB ) the blondes on the beach.... the climate.... the fun
But welcome and happy smoking.

Ok, you can't leave that open ended. What's the name of the beach?

And most importantly welcome to the forum Andy!

Welcome to the fun Andy, be warned this type of smoking is very addictive.

You came to the right place to ask questions and learn, we all learn from each other every day and there are no stupid question's so ask away.

Welcome Andy!

Will be anxious to hear your ideas and learn from your culinary skills. The Bradley does some great smoked salmon.

We are all here to answer any questions you may have along the way. First tidbit of info for you. Always run your Braldey with the vent at least 50% open. 100% if you're doing poultry.
