Newbie with an Original - an intro
« on: October 04, 2007, 01:25:56 pm »
Hi all, i just picked up an Original Bradley Smoker that i found on sale at the corner hardware store.  Can't wait to get it seasoned and ready to go!  I've got a couple of salmon fillets and a tri-tip roast that will be my first experiments.

My wife and i are both Army retirees and have recently moved to Soldotna Alaska.  We're looking forward to running a LOT of salmon thru this neat little smoker!

Great site you've got here - i already have more ideas for recipes than i'll be able to try, but what fun dreaming about all the smoked foods!  ;D  I hope i can start to contribute more as i experiment with my new OBS.

welcome aces, I haven't tryed salmon yet but then again where i'm from there aint much in the line of fresh salmon around. I was told chicken is the easyest thing to start with however I started (not long ago) with a nice butt roast. I couldn't waite to pull an allnighter by the smoker and let me tell you it was worth it. any way what ever you fix don't forget the importance of a good brine and an even better rub.

Thanks for the welcome, guys!  The smoker is seasoning right now and i have three bags of salmon strips in three different brines in the refer waiting for tomorrow.

We have two tri-tips and my wife is going to try slicing "hers" for jerky and i'll just use a dry rub and hickory smoke on "mine".

Ha - this is going to be fun!  ;)

Welcome Aces!  The veterans of the Bradley on this forum are great at helping out and answering any questions you may have.  They have already helped me a bunch and I'm sure they will be more than happy to assist you.  There are no stupid question that you could ask as I have already asked them all.

Happy Smokin' and let us know how your endeavors turn out!
