Smokin..... Seasoning in progress!!!!

OOOhhhhhh Ohhhh, oh that's inspiration!!!!!!!

Bradley Smoking Song
Sung to the Rawhide Theme song - ok,ok, I stole the tune

Smokin', smokin', smokin'
Smokin', smokin', smokin'
Smokin', smokin', smokin'
Smokin', smokin', smokin'
Bradley!

Smokin', smokin', smokin'
Though the snow's a'fallin'
Keep that smoke a'rollin'
Bradley!
Rain and wind and weather
Hell-bent for my pleasure
Keepin' my Maverick by my side.
All the things I'm missin',
Good vittles, love, and kissin',
Are waitin' at the end of my smoke

Bring 'em on, Dream 'it up,
Rub 'em up, Let 'em sit,
Smoke 'em up, Take 'em out
Bradley!
Foil 'em up, Let 'em sit,
Pull 'em out, Cut 'em up,
Set 'it out, Call 'em in,
Bradley.

Keep smokin', smokin', smokin'
Dummy pucks behind 'em,
Keep them bisquettes smokin'
Bradley!
Don't try to understand 'em,
Just cope and buy and use 'em,
Soon we'll be living smiling' wide.
Boy my heart's apoundin'
My taste buds will be awaitin', be waiting at the end of my smoke.

Bring 'em on, Dream 'it up,
Rub 'em up, Let 'em sit,
Smoke 'em up, Take 'em out
Bradley!
Foil 'em up, Let 'em sit,
Pull 'em out, Cut 'em up,
Set 'it out, Call 'em in,
Bradley.

Bradley!
Bradley!

Caneyscud · October 15, 2009, 02:23:41 PM

Well there is this big gray building where everybody wears white coats. I miss living there! Why do you ask? ;D ;D

ArnieM · October 15, 2009, 02:36:49 PM

CS - Keep your day job. ;D

The tune always reminds me of the "Blues Brothers" movie.

OK...so Grandbabies came over (4&6) to see Bradley..... we are now singing the Smokin', smokin', smokin' Song...Thanks Caneyscud
It took me a bit longer assembling the Cordon Blue as I kept playing Strykers video to make sure I was doing it right.

Looks like I went a little bacon crazy. We'll see how it cooks up and tastes.

Smokin', smokin', smokin'
Smokin', smokin', smokin'
Smokin', smokin', smokin'
Smokin', smokin', smokin'
Bradley!

Looking gooood Linda, I dont think you can have to much bacon

classicrockgriller · October 15, 2009, 03:09:09 PM

Bacon is good, will keep chicken juicy

ArnieM · October 15, 2009, 03:46:51 PM

OU is correct. Therre's no such thing as too much bacon. ;D

classicrockgriller · October 15, 2009, 03:55:18 PM

Linda, 1/2 way thru you est. cooking time rotate your rack front to back (just turn it around).

The Bradley tends to be hotter along the back wall.

And if you want you can flip the chicken over at that time. Some do and some don't.

ArnieM · October 15, 2009, 04:00:01 PM

CRG - Based on your avatar today, it looks like you twist and flip a lot.

classicrockgriller · October 15, 2009, 04:02:27 PM

Arnie, I found you a funny cat....

LindaCC · October 15, 2009, 04:52:17 PM

Thanks CRG, turned it as soon as I saw your post. probably 3/4 through. Smoker temp has been hanging around 200-217. Of course I'm sure that opening it to take a picture, add a rack of breast only, then just to peek didn't help with recovery.

I will get a couple of bricks like I have read about here next trip out. I am wondering also that if I am not using all 6 racks, would it be a good idea to add a couple of bricks up top as well (not blocking vent) to take up the extra dead space and help with heat retention?

classicrockgriller · October 15, 2009, 04:56:36 PM

I think your temp is fine. Really don't think you will have a temp problem there in cali.

Just make sure your IT is 165 on chicken. We don't want you sick.

Take a cple reading in different spots and make sure you don't go past the chicken meat for your temp (and into the hollow part).

LindaCC · October 15, 2009, 05:51:12 PM
