Thought i would share what we get up to down here in New Zealand
How to turbo charge your home made Smokehouse Bradley Style
Grabbed a pile of non treated ply and got building, added a V8 series of Bradley Smoke adaptors and this is what evolved over a few days
Added a Bradley stainless steel rack system that could smoke more fish in one hit that you could ever imagine, also deigned so you can take out the racks and hang your fish
Designed a drip tray system so this smokehouse will stay perfectly clean, just wash the tray and empty the bucket
Added a vent to the top that is fully adjustable
Then decided to add a commercial heating element so this puppy will cook anything and made it fully controllable (Black Heating Bar) from 40C to 85C
Now for the ultimate test 20 minutes later
Yep it works a treat
2 weeks later
OK the plan was set, Damo kindly threw all the kahwai from his fishing comp in the back of my truck, smoke this lot Gamefish!
Cured chilly bins of fish down last night using a sprinkling of Bradley Maple Cure and maple syrup and this morning load it up to the top
Checked it after a few hours and was surprised how much smoke it was producing!
"No fire Brigade here"
but opened the door and good lord now that holds the smoke and coming along nicely
Thought yep the plan is coming together
unit was sitting at about 55C consistently all day while i was working
4pm came round time for the final check
OMG perfection, not bad for a first effort
I can finally say from having an idea and turning it into reality i am pretty happy right now
So there you have it, good old kiwi ingenuity Bradley style!
