I would be curious as well I scored one from my brother and don't have a clue as how to smoke the thing yet. He got a whole lamb as payment from a Amish family for Chiro adjustments.

While your waiting you may as well go ahead and order a few extra items that you will eventually buy.
PID, cold smoker attachment, thermapen, Maverick ET 73, sausage stuffer................ ;D the list goes on and on LOL

Hi there Lumpy,

when I placed my order and since I was buying from a UK based agent for the BDS, I decided to go ahead and order what I could since it is going to be shipped anyway. So I order the 6 racks BDS, the cold smoke attachment, the weather proof cover and 12 boxes of various wood flavors (120 bissquettes each) plus I get and extra box for free that came with the smoker. I have already purchased the  Maverick remote digital talking thermometer and the BABA pucks.  I think it is a bit early for sausage making for me but do you think that I would need the PID, what do you think? I have been reading the the BDS is very good about keeping the desired temperature (+/- 5).

I have also read that electric smokers, in general, fail to produce the infamous (smoke ring) due to the absence of what is referred to as "infusion" but I have also learned that if you add a couple of burned charcoal briquettes in the smoker you could overcome that. Has any of you guys done that and if so what was the results?? Please let me know.

Hey there Hopeful
Sounds like your on the right track. You may want to smoke for a few months before you think about a PID. Here is a thread pertaining to the PID
http://forum.bradleysmoker.com/index.php?topic=10517.0

I've had no problem obtaining a smoke ring on meat. Never heard of the problem that you mention regarding electric smokers. Also never heard of adding a few charcoal briquettes. Some of the more experienced members might be able to answer that one. Personally though............I would'nt think about messing with the way my BDS produces its smoke.

The BDS can have some interesting temp swings. A few things to remember, preheat to a higher temp, do not put very cold meat in the smoker, think about putting a brick in the smoker to keep your temp.

Don't forget to season the baby before your first smoke.

Good luck
Lumpy
