Hi all, first post....long time casual lurker.
I already own a 4 rack digital Bradley, have had it for over 10 years now. Have had a lot of issues over the years, never really worked right from the start. Heat element went on the second smoke which was replaced under warranty. Then the puck advance stopped working shortly after warranty expired. Have had to manually advance the pucks (by hand) for a long time now. So now I don't use the smoker for much other than an hour for jerky followed by a food dehydrator. It's been that way for the last 8 years or so, big disappointment. Funny thing is, I think I finally fixed it this past weekend. A combination of issues with the micro switch, motor and that little plate that slides back and forth. It's been a "when i have time" project over the last 8 or so years.
I ended up buying a big ceramic egg and an Auber PID about 6 years back for anything other than Jerky. It's fantastic. I can smoke a pork butt in -30c no problems.
Anyway..... So I cam across this new Bradley Pro smoker over at the Canadian Tire Website. Fist time I've seen it. Looks really neat except for the price. I just can't find any user reviews on the thing. I'm wondering if anyone here has used one and curious what you think. Is there a search function here for the forums? I can't find it.
I have a couple links I can post for info. I see there are 3 models available but I think they are all the same, just regional versions. P800 or BS 1019 or BS 10
Can I post links here? Sorry if not.
