Can't wait to get started

I'm picking up my Bradley this weekend. I've been roaming the forums for a few months until i could talk my wife into letting me buy one. Thanks to my annual bonus I'm off to the store and can't wait. I haven't been this enthused about a new hobby since i built my mame arcade machine.

I've got to go out and buy some pork butts this weekend after i get it primed and ready to go.

Welcome and don't forget to get some wood bisquits for smoking.

Welcome BB and since you have been lurking for 4 months, you know if you have any questions, just ask.

Jump on in BB.

4 months...well you know how it works around here!

Keep the vent open and the smoke roll'n.

Welcome BB! Whereabouts in Washington? My wife's family is from Tacoma..

MAME, eh? Sounds like you've got some electrical/programming skills?

Welcome to the forum Beav! Take it slow, don't want you to get too excited and mess up 100 lbs of meat. Practice makes perfect, and Ward and June aren't here to help ;D

Welcome to the fun Beav

Remember the key to a good smoke is "Slow and Low" so dont freak out when the butt stalls at an IT of 160 F for hours on end.

Welcome Beaver! Your purchase was worth the wait. Lots of good info here.

Beaver Believer · February 11, 2010, 08:30:17 PM

Thanks for all the welcome messages.

The BIG plan.

Buy OBS on Saturday. Clean and prime the beast.
Sunday get everything ready to go and load her up.
BBQ feast on Monday...posting pics along the way of course.

I'm salivating already...I did an all day pulled pork in the oven that was actually pretty good but i know this will blow it out of the water.

Clean and prime?

Wipe walls with a paper towel, then season the smoker according to directions.

If you want to get a jump on your owners manul you can go to Bradley home page and down load it.

It makes things easier the first day.

BB, interesting mascot. I had a Beaver as my mascot here in Arizona, Scottsdale High School. Is that where that's from?
