New Bradley Smoker

[Bradley (Head Office)]

Hello Everyone

We took a lot of the comments and suggestions from our forum members and customers (Thank You)and made a few changes to the smoker design.

Here are a few of the changes:
1. New Stainless Steel Interior.
2. New Rack supports keep racks from tipping over when pulled out.
3. Heat control moved to Smoke Generator which will eliminate moisture damage to switch.
4. Improved Front Face Plate.
5. Improved Electronic components
6. Extra large front feet for added support and stability.
7. Generator has removable side panel for ease of cleaning and preventative maintenance.

Dam. Hate it that mine is still going strong with no problems for almost 3 years now. Other than 1 bad micro switch.
One question, anyone know why a larger wattage element wasn't used. I would assume that most of us can do without a fan and PID buy would love/benefit from more heat.

It probably would have raised the price too high to make it competitive to other brands that are currently around the same price.  A higher wattage heating element would need a more heavy duty temp controller and maybe a few other things.  I guess Bradley feels that enough owners are satisfied with the 500W. I would have liked for them to have added a few things but with the mods I've done to my OBS I'm happy with what I have now.

I believe the reason that a larger heating element was not implemented was probably do to Government standards. Not only does Bradley have to pass all of the UL listing standards and the Canadian equivalent. They have to get certification from ALL of the countries that Bradley Smokers are sold in. So if one country says NO it doesn't meet our standards the whole thing has to go back to the drawing board so it can pass the testing in all of the countries at the same time.

The new version of the OBS ALMOST makes me want to get one. I will stick with my Digitals though for now

Makes sense. :)

Yep.  Yard & Pool has them in stock.  I think Bryan was even offering a 'friends of the Bradley forum' special price on them..
