Bradley smoker

[Gosh]

Good Evening....last week I receive a 4 shelf digital smoker for my birthday...I know nothing about smokers other than what I have read and watched on YOUTUBE..any suggestions. I live in Arizona south of Phoenix so I guess I don't need to be concerned with the outside temp too much....got it to make ribs, pork, chicken and sausages. Appreciate any tips Thanks, Gosh

W E L C O M E  to the Forum Gosh!

Lots of good people and info here.

Don't run the smoker with the vent closed.

welcome. My next door neighbours up here in Canada spend their winters in Casa Grande. Looks like great country side down there. I'm sure you will love your Bradley, I sure do. I have 6 salmon curing in the fridge right now getting ready to cold smoke this weekend. I love smoked lox.

Welcome to the site. I would read up here and on the recipe site on pork butt. Its quite forgiving and I think a good way to start out. I would use a yellow mustard slather and Jans rub to start out with.

Welcome aboard Gosh.

Your at the right place to learn how to make some fine Q!

Remember to keep the vent open and the smoke roll'n.

Thanks Kevin, how ironic, yesterday I was in Florence all day watching my Grandson while my daughter played in a softball tournament and today I was in Florence at the Old Pueblo restaurant for breakfast...great food, great motorcycle ride from Chandler...anyway looking forward to getting started..thanks for the reply and if you all don't mind I'll be picking everyones brains...first question..What are the most common ingredients for rubs..we want to get a list and go over to Sprouts. I realize everyone is different but if you can recommend basics I would appreciate it...Thanks, Gosh
