Just to add, I called Bradley's number to see if I could register the warranty over the phone instead of mail it in.

I never doubted anyone here on the forum, but everyone was right. 10+ gold stars. Very kind and helpful service.

Asked where it was purchased, told them very happily at Yard and Pool.

Its going on 6am here and I'm so tempted to toss something in to smoke up right now. Got some chicken breasts, but I'll wait until the butcher opens, pick out something special for me and my father, let it marinade and stuff then do it up right. But it's tough waiting now :P

For sure. Just kidding around. Variety is the spice of Life. only use one type of wood, one rub, one brine... NOT

You will love your stainless smoker. I just got mine last week and I have already used it twice! I just picked up some Hickory today, and Im thinking about either doing a roast this weekend.

Smoke it up!

Sorry everyone, my apologies, I was so *bleepin* excited last night 'also doing shots of Wild Turkey with dad to welcome the new addition to the family being the Bradley ;) ' I forgot to show a picture of it.

I don't know if I opened the damper enough on top, but it seemed not to hurt it. It was smoking pretty good even though it didn't show on the picture. Got alot of real heavy cold winds here right now.

This might sound kind of dumb, but I'll say it anyway...

I love my SS/OBS so much... I named her Marie, after the Johnny Rivers version of the song Memphis... just kind of brings back alot of old good memories, and like the song, the only one I want to be with. Ya'll can rib me about that one; I named my electric slicer Maybelline after the Johnny Rivers version of that song because shes so true...

Ok, I can be a bit goofy I guess :-[

But anyway, that's Marie being seasoned and welcomed into the family. 8)

Brother, I won't go into details, but right now there's a huge downer going on in the family which has my father very down for the holidays for the past month.

I just showed him your post and it was literally the first time he laughed, 'I mean hard core deep down belly laugh' in about a month. Before tonight, he hasn't even smiled once for this certain family matter ordeal.

He wanted me to say, which I will agree with... you guys 'and gals' here on this forum rule and are the best! :)

Thank you for the friendship to everyone here :D

La Quinta · December 11, 2008, 09:18:15 PM

Hey Starman...give my best to Dad...if he laughs at us...well that makes us happy!!

I'm naming my smoker Bubba...a good friend that has never failed me...I'm from Florida...and I love nicknames!! So Bubba is my boy!!!

My favorite kitchen tool is Tracie ;) :o ;D

Yes, that's my wife and in the kitchen, she is a complete tool ;D

Hey Walleye Man, can you get that shovel ready? Hee Hee!

And before you go off full-bore on me, LQ, the wifey is already on board with this description! Please keep the tea bags back ;) ;D
