Introduction: Soon to purchase OBS

starship · February 13, 2009, 06:58:23 PM

;D I just signed up on the forums, and will ordering my OBS tomorrow. This forum had a lot to do with my decision. Why the Bradley, I have been cooking at 225 on a high powered Ducane Gas Grill. Stabilizing temp at 225 is a nightmare. I spend more time in and out the door to adjust the flame, I almost don't want to do it.

The Bradley seems the answer to that. I am already ordered the Auberon's PID controller. Going to wire it up my self. I am a Industrial Electrician by trade, and could automate this with an Allan Bradley SLC500, but a little overkill for a smoker!

Welcome to the forum, Starship. Ducane's are nice island grills for steaks, but thats about it. You can do some grand final crisping on things that you have smoked with it!

Ditto on SS's comment about the Dukane. Great machines, but as you found out almost impossible to Low and Slow on it. Welcome, wade in and have fun.

Low and slow is what the OBS is good at.

Don't close the vent on the OBS...

Welcome, Starship and one of the first rules you will learn..........there is no such thing as overkill where smoking food is concerned ;D

Welcome Starship,

I have had my Bradley for over 5 years . Last weekend I smoke 93 lbs of pork butt. It is still serving me well. I do not think that you will be disappointed.

welcome aboard starship,
you did not go wrong with the bradley or the people here.
together we can smoke the world ;D

canadiansmoker · February 19, 2009, 06:31:18 AM

Welcome starship. You'll love the smoker. I got mine at Christmas and have been using it for quite a few weekends since then. A word of warning, it can get to be very addictive and you'll want to use it all the time because it is so easy to use and the outcome is great!

starship,
beware the to do list. once you get smoking with these things and you see some of the things you can do with it
your list will grow rapidly.
i wall papered the kitchen with mine and i still have some left over. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
