While I am not new to smoking I am new the the Bradley Smoker. Not being sure if this is the direction I want to go with smoking I purchased the portable propane model. I have used it once so far trying to smoke a brisket and sausages at the same time. The sausages came out perfect but the brisket took a lot longer than I had expected. I'm sure the reason being the propane model does not have as tight a seal as the regular models. I like the idea, i will try it some more and then decide if i want to make the investment into a more permanent model.

The BPS while capable is not optimal for doing big smokes like that. You would not be sorry for buying a OBS or DBS as they are more efficient at doing the big stuff. Good luck and good smoking. And welcome to the forum.

The BPS is more sensitive to ambient temps and wind.

The good feature about the BPS is portability.

I have used it to butts, briskets and a turkey. Not all at the same time.

MoonWa, you will not be disappointed by the OBS or DBS.
