The Bradley Takes a Tumble

[BurntFork Ken]

Just in case you were wondering if the OBS is a durable little bugger in addition to being a great smoker, let me offer this:  Not long ago, we had a little get-together here at the estate... house... (well, it's an estate for the dogs, they're small).  Anywho, one of our friends missed a step going up to the deck where the Bradley stays.  In her effort to catch herself, she smacked into the nice wheeled cart I built for the OBS, which sent it and the smoker flying off the deck.

Granted, the deck only sits about 18-20" off the ground, but on top of the cart, the OBS now falls about 3 to 4 feet down.  Fortunately, our backyard walkway where it hit is pea gravel and not concrete.  The smoke unit was not attached, and was inside the house.  Aside from the door being slightly misaligned due to bent hinges (which I fixed) and a nasty little dent, she came through unscathed.  She's currently smoking baby backs and sausage.

I wouldn't recommend independent testing, let me handle that for you  ;D

All the best to all this smoking season!

And what about your ex-friend!!??  ;) ;) :D :D

Glad the story had a happy ending, I dropped my smoke generator a while ago from about 3 foot onto concrete. Came out rather dented and scratched but still works fine.  :)
