I tried calling the guy on this:

http://forum.bradleysmoker.com/index.php?topic=14044.0

When I finally made it back to Houston, he had sold it.

So I have been trying to hunt down another and I found this one.





It's big and it might be too big.

48W x 32D x 68H

Price is $100 and a two hour drive.

Would like some feedback on the pros and cons.

No technical advise here but....
You cannot even buy a Bradley for 100 bucks !
All I wanted to do was slow smoke some ribs.  Another addiction created thanks to the Bradley that requires regular servicing...  But what an addiction to have.  Even better to share here with some of the best people on the planet.

Would you like smoke with that sir ?

Is it open in the middle, or 2 separate insulated compartments?

classicrockgriller

open in the middle.

I would probably use it for just a 200* or lower smoker.

You could mount a Traeger firebox on it and that should do the trick..

I'm sure it would do the trick..   You'll just need to make a big heat shield for it.  Maybe raise it up a bit so you could slide a big sheet pan under the firebox to catch the ashes, etc.

You could even mount a BPS generator on it (on the other side) for 'extra' smoke.  Or for a mix of smoke..

Just called Traeger and getting that part maybe a no.

A couple of 1500 watt elements, an SG (or two) and you could hang TWO pigs in there!

Me, I don't know where I'd put it!

Too big...is there such a thing?  I say get it, I would love to see the pictures of what comes out of that thing ;D  Mine is about half as big, I really need to get working on it.  I bought a 5500 watt 220V heating element for mine for under $20, at 110V it runs at 1300 watts or something like that.

And you could use your super-PID to keep it reigned in..

I don't to miss out on it, if it will make a good smoker.

With BigJohnT's kits, what is that a 80-rack smoker?

Speaking of that, finding racks may be an issue....
