Something tells me you will make the time to get the smoker all set up and seasoned. Don't forget to pick up a box or 4 of bisquettes. Use them special blend ones to do the seasoning with.

Well I got more good news, the time to put it together is about 10 minutes.

If it was me I would go back to Bradley's home page and look at the owners

manual so you will have a step up on it tomorrow when you get it.

Congrats.

Yeah, I already picked up a 120 box of messy pucks, and 48 hickory a few days back. And have been reading up a bit... lol I feel like a littel kid.. I'm sure this will beat the heck out of my smoke hollow electric.... lol

I've got one of those hollow electrics, they ain't even in the same league as the Bradley. Congrats to you dribron, let us know how the first smoke goes.... take pictures. ;D ;D ;D

Congrats dribron. We want pictures! We want pictures! ;D

Make sure to take a couple of the interior prior to seasoning. It ain't ever gonna look like that again.

dribron · May 09, 2010, 10:36:50 PM

I'll have to try to rember to take pics,, if the excitment doesnt take over .. lol

Caneyscud · May 10, 2010, 05:12:29 AM

Let the SMOKING begin!!!!!!!!!

dribron · May 10, 2010, 10:30:39 AM

We'll got it home, got it togther. Took all of about ten mins, heck I think it took longer to toss out the packaging.. lol Dang, if it aint pack up good. And what a nice machine, I mean the door open and close so smoothly, it's so well insulated. I havn't yet cured it, but will latter... wanted to read a bit of the manual. Then latter this week... Or tomarow I will be smoking something..... lets see, I've got ribs, and brisket in the freezer. Hmm, maybe a butt.... So many things to smoke and so littel time..... BUUUaaahhhhhaaaaaaaa!!!!

classicrockgriller · May 10, 2010, 10:34:57 AM

I would save the ribs and brisket for a time to be used latter.

Starting small is not a bad thing. Gives you some time to learn your smoker

and make sure everthing is AOK.

But, a BUTT would not be a bad first smoke either.

Again Congrats.

Great to hear, can't wait to read about your first smoke!

dribron · May 10, 2010, 10:39:12 AM

Yeah, I guess, but this isn't my first smoker, just my first bradley. Temp, time and patience, and low and slow I know.... lol

dribron · May 10, 2010, 10:41:20 AM
