Smoke Ring in the Bradley ........... MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hal4uk]

It does look better than the pictures you sent me Sonny.

I would just like to remind folks as Sonny and I discussed it is NOT recommended that you do this. There is a high probability that you could have a fire in your Bradley as it is not designed for this type of usage.

Huh?  You got a formula for this?
I'm trying to decipher this in feet from the cabin...  :o

Nice smoke ring, Cuz!

Just dont want someone to try doing this with a homemade cardboard cold smoke chamber and end up burning their house down. Or starting a grease fire in their Bradley. Although it does look like a really nice smoke ring.

I call my Ins Co before I started and they said they covered fires from cookers.

Then it was on! ;D

Nice insurance folks!
What kinda accent didja use to pronounce Crown Royal?

So if I understand you correctly, you had the heat coming from the element, and the smoke from the cold smoke adapter where you had some charcoal and wood in the bowl.
So where is the risk of fire? Hot ash or sparks from the charcoal fire? Would a spark screen like used on chimneys in fire zones solve that concern?Maybe put it between the adaptor box and the duct?

CR you are nuts but my kind of guy. Nice smoke ring and great pics. I have set a couple of turkeys on fire before. No mercy for those poor birds. Some times we learn the hard way.

Like I said, I thought there was a chance a smoke ring could happen

but had forgot about it until I sliced it. What an eye opener'.  :o  :o

I delayed posting the results until I talked to my lawyer, Gods

of the forum, and my bartender.

Just don't want anyone to have a bad experience by something I do.

Always be safe in your smoking. The smoke ring is eye candy.

That is really interesting and I do understand the concern about the fire issue...wow...good for you CRG...I may try that as my cold smoke box is pretty permanent too...but I have a question...does the ring change the flavor or just for presentation? Well...other than the fact that you got a  ring ...which is kool by itself...hmmmmm

[classicrockgriller]

The smoke ring is eye candy.

Something that just don't happen in the Bradley.

Was a fun experiment.

Gotta question - since it has been stated many, many times on this forum that a smoke ring adds absolutely nothing to the flavor - why all the interest in one???  Doesn't make sense to me.  Just curious.

[SnellySmokesEm]

Geeeez, talk about covering your ASSets....  The smoke ring looks great and that brisket looks so moist.   Guess I'm gonna have to buy some charcoal...

[viper125]

Looks very good and a nice smoke ring. I haven't had it like that since I quit using a wood smoker. I agree with being safe. But really like this site because of the experiments and mods people do.

I agree. It was something fun to try. I sure like the looks of it. I thought

a few people that like to experiment would enjoy seeing it. Maybe I wrong.

Like I said, it's not something I would do all the time, too much work.

And I am a lazy type guy.

Why do some people buy Silver Chevrolet Trucks and some buy Red?

Why not make them all the same color and not give people choices.

good looking piece of meat

[La Quinta]

Well...I still think i's pretty damn kool that he got a ring...I wouldn't try it...but god bless him for that surprise!!  :)

[Habanero Smoker]

Nice results. Another member had similiar results by placing a few charcoals inside his Bradley.

Cool!

I wonder if using charcoal pellets right on the puck burner would do the same thing...  Hmmmm.

STC,
You would get the charcoal flavor, but it is not likely you will get the ring. You need to burn the pellets at a higher temperature to produce enough nitrogen dioxide that will interact with the protein to form a noticeable ring.

[NePaSmoKer]

YES

You can get a smoke ring with pellets on the slide. I have done it with butts and pecan pellets in my 6 rack.
