    Max smoke for small quantities

    I used to be employed doing home energy efficiency evaluations for a government grant program, now defunct; one of those things would have come in handy many times. It would be hard to justify now - sounds like an expensive bit of kit.

    Max smoke for small quantities

    I suspect you're right and it will make very little difference. And then there is the question of whether my taste buds are capable of discerning a difference. I have a feeling that it should be smokiest near the top, where it hits the roof of the box and swirls around a bit before finding the...

    Max smoke for small quantities

    I have a basic Bradley smoker and frequently use it to do just a couple of pork chops or a tenderloin for the wife and myself. My question is, where should I position the rack in the box to get maximum smoke penetration, or does it matter? TIA

    They do have a better selection than Cabela's.

    Thanks Mike. Dickson's doesn't seem very interested in electric smokers (I have a Bradley), none shown on their website.

    Hi Palladini. I looked up TSC stores, since the name was unfamiliar. Two locations in Manitoba - one 2 hours away and one 3 hours away. Oddly, nothing near Winnipeg. Guess I have to wait for a new location to pop up. In the mean time, waiting for spring, I can get stuff at Cabela's, less than an...

    Any Bradley owners out there?

    I took a look at the element in mine but it's all blackened, like some fool has been burning wood in there or something, and quite illegible. I got the 800W number from Cabela's catalog, where I bought the unit, but the diagram in the manual just points at the general area and says 500W element...

    Thanks Ragnar. I think the element in mine is 800 W; the one that toasts the biskettes is  500. Unfortunately I am a wood guy and dangerous around electricity or plumbing. Is the installation difficult?

    Good Idea Aldersmoke. It occurs to me that maybe replacing the water pan with a heavy enameled cast iron one, similarly preheated, might also do the trick.

    Especially when it's below freezing. Guess It's time to hang it up until spring!

    Any Bradley owners out there?

    I've had my basic analog Bradley for about 3 months now, and I've gotten a lot of use out of it and loved the results. I have had no trouble with the bisquette feeding system, which some folks seemed to think might be a problem. The only problem I have had is A. getting it up to temperature when...

    Smoking cheese

    Thanks Dirtsailor and Wade for the good advice. Dec.7 I filled the Bradley up with 2 year old cheddar, jalapeno jack, 5 year old cheddar, a couple of wheels of brie and one small log of goat cheese. Gave them 2 1/2 hours of apple wood. Gifted a bunch of the 2 year old for Christmas - to rave...

    Thanks Wade. Great tip about pricking the rind - never would have thought of that.

    Hi Dirtsailor, Have you tried Brie? Or any kind of blue cheeses?
