Bisquettes through the mail.

[yul]

Hi Guys, I have been having trouble finding different flavors of bisquettes in my area and have been toying with the idea of ordering them direct from Bradley. I was wondering if they "travel "  well or if they arrive in chunks. Have any of you tried this method or do you have a preferred supplier who made sure they arrived in one piece?

I have ordered pucks directly from Bradley and I didn't have any problem with any damage on them.
Here is a link I recently found on Ebay.ca 5 boxes any flavor for $79.29 plus shipping.

Also check out Amazon.  I typically buy 4 boxes (look for pay for 3 and get 4th free deal) plus free shipping.  price per bisquette comes out to about $.33 each.

Yul, if your a skinflint like me ( no insult to Yorkshiremen intended) you can, with a little ingenuity, make your own.  I use a blender to get the sawdust the correct particle size and a manual 1/2 ton arbor press to form them. Never bought a box of pucks yet. There's some photos on my previous posts some where.

Scotty-G hit it on the head. If you choose the free shipping method at Amazon, they ship them USPS. May take a week or so to get them, but I've never had any damaged (like half of the stuff I get from UPS).

I purchased my OBS and all bisquettes from Cabelas online. The freight was cheaper than the sales tax / diesel fuel to get to my nearest Outdoor World. I have had no issues with UPS-delivered pucks. I usually add pucks to an order of other stuff to "bulk up" my order to take advantage of freight charges.

I like the "buy 3 boxes get one free" from Amazon. My only local choice is to drive 30 miles each way to Dicks Sporting Goods and pay out the @ss for a very limited selection. Ain't gonna happen... :P

Hi  Dalby, no offence taken. I saw your other post about DIY pucks and was very interested. I have access to a press at work so I might have a bash. A friend does a lot of fancy cabinet work and has bags of oak and maple saw dust that he throws out but I was afraid this would be to fine to bind together.
And talking about your posts being somewhere on the site, I seem to have lost my original post from the "Original Bradley Smoker " section. Do they move stuff around or have I been kicked off already for looking at the " home made pucks" section?

I bought a 120 pack of Apple from Amazon recently and they arrived in perfect shape. Great price and free shipping too.

You're right again, Brian. That's a deal that's hard (or impossible) to beat. I usually order 4 boxes of 48's at a time. It's amazing how fast they disappear, though, especially apple and hickory in my case.

Hi Mike,
Found two boxes of apple at Canadian Tire today, :o added a bottle of windshield fluid and used the $10 rebate coupon .
Going again tomorrow to pick up two boxes of Hickory and use another coupon.
Like you say, if they didn't want you to use them, they would not send them. ;)

[Mr Walleye]

Right on Brian. I also made two trips. Same thing 2 Apple and 2 Hickory.

:D  ;D

How are you making out on your PID?
