After several years of longing for a Bradley Smoker I pulled the trigger and placed the order tonight.  In three to six days, my 6 rack digital smoker will arrive.  We were planning to have our oldest son's graduation party catered by a local BBQ restaurant but I convinced my wife to let me purchase a Bradley and do it ourselves.  Sweeeet!

I plan to hit the forum pretty hard in the coming days looking for tips and bisquette recommendations for a variety of meats.  I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve!

Welcome to the forum Mike!  Hopefully, you'll have plenty of time to practice before graduation.  Just think of all the money you'll be saving  ;D  Plus, it's fun and you get braggin' rights.

Welcome to the Happiest place on the net Nolan.
The crew that hangs out here is great. Willing
to help at the drop of a hat, or the mention of
any type of food, that can be smoked. Hang
around a while and join in on the fun. :D

Hi Nolan

Welcome.  Just throw three or four butts into the smoker and that should be a good start for your sons graduation party. 

Plenty of experts around to offer advice.  This is a great forum.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!  I look forward to some good eats and will post pictures (if I don't ruin the meat;-)

20 years from now when your Son and his friends get back together there will

be words about the great food at his party.

Welcome to the Smoke House.
