A new OBS has been adopted

[Sailor]

I can now say I have joined the ranks of the Bradley owners.  I have waited a long time to be able to get this smoker and I am a happy camper.  I also just ordered the Auber Dual PID so I can smoke my sausage.  I guess I better get this jewel seasoned and will smoke up a butt tomorrow.  I am so excited to try out all of the great recipe's that you all have posted.


Just out of the box


All shinny!

When I get the butt all rubbed and in the smoker I will post some follow up photos.

At 1st light I got the OBS seasoned.  Don't you just love the smell of smoke?



While the OBS was in the seasoning mode I did a rub on the brisket.  I just did a simple salt and pepper rub using 2/3 pepper and 1/3 sea salt mix.  The meat was brought up to room temp just prior to the rub and going in the Bradley.  I will apply 5 hrs of Hickory.  I wanted some Oak but Bass Pro did not have any.



All loaded up and the Virgin smoke starts.  The smoke started at 8am and the brisket weight just shy of 6lbs.  Now the hard work of (cough) smoking begins.  I did take the Bradley pledge  ;D

It looks like they have made the V-Tray holes bigger since I got mine.

Sailor, Looks like a fun day.

Just remember you have a good group of people to help you

during the day if you have any questions.

That it does! Would make cleaning a whole lot easier like that.

Looks like a good start Sailor
