    How Many Members are Bradley Owners?

    I get a smoke ring in my food when I smoke them in the Bradley. I think that thing generates a lot of smoke and it keeps it coming on a consistent basis. I am not sure why it would not produce a smoke ring.

    UDS build - But the top is not open

    I went to thrift stores etc. this weekend looking for weber lids for my UDS builds. Ended up finding a cheap bbq for $29. For this I ended up getting two lids, the bottom fits one drum and the top fits the other. I also ended up with one grill and a small grill to use as the bottom of my fuel...

    UDS supplies

    I just got two barrels given to me so now I am gathering the other parts to begin building my UDS. My son gets one too. Wish me luck as this is a closed top drum and will require a bit of cutting to get things going.

    Smokin’ Screw-Ups

    I had smoked turkey on the brinkman without a side firebox for several Thanksgiving meals but never was very happy. Bought a Bradley electric smoker and was ready to make the best turkey ever. I had no idea that it would take that unit so long to come up to temperature, in fact it really never...

    UDS build - But the top is not open

    To say that is helpful is an understatement. Thanks a lot for the information. While I will not be able to use the idea of a removable bottom for cleaning this idea still allows me to create the UDS without a lot of work that I was planning. Who would have thought up was down

    UDS build - But the top is not open

    I have been given two closed top 55 gal drums and want to make a UDS out of them. The problem is the tops are closed. Has anyone ever used these and made them work by just cutting off the top say 2 inches of the drum and then putting a sleeve on the outside of "lid" portion so that it will fit...

    Electric Vs. Wood

    I started with electric and am now using lump charcoal on my Brinkman Smokin Pit. The Pit is the best but the electric still has its place when I want to go the easy way. I also use it for cheese because I can get really low temps in the electric unit, a Bradley.

    Children who smoke

    I arrived home from work early today only to be greeted by a phone call from my son who lives out of state. He wanted to confess that he has gone over the edge and put a Papa Murphy's pizza in the smoker. I told him it was just fine, others have done it too. What a proud moment for me to know...

    anyone own a bradley smoker

    I have one that I have used for two years and I really like it. Like some electric smokers it is hard to get higher temps in the cold weather but it is a good product. As for the pucks, you can find them on line sometimes for a good price. Overall, I do not find them out of line for what you...
