A great piece of equipment when it's working right by S. Tarant MD (Midlothian, VA USA)  4 Stars
November 26, 2009
I've had to replace at least 3 parts on this unit since I purchased it just a few months ago: the door, a molding, and now the smoke generator (the small box on the side). The first two items were probably damaged during shipping, the wood advance unit stopped working properly recently all on its own. Those are the cons. On the plus side, the company backs its products and sends out parts without question or hesitation. Though I've been frustrated with the problems I've experienced, this company has been remarkable in its willingness to assist its customers and it maintains the highest quality of customer support. As for the smoker itself: forget about the cost of the proprietary wood pucks you must buy, the expense of the unit, etc., because this food smoker is simply stellar. The automatic feeder frees the cook from having to hang around in order to keep adding wood. This means there will be fewer temperature fluctuation during cooking and it's less likely for the cook to burn oneself while manually feeding wood into a hot smoker. The smoke flavor you end up with is just spectacular. My only regret is not paying for the considerably more costly digital unit. What seemed like over-the-top technology when I was shopping, I now realize would have meant more reliable cooking as the unit reviewed here can be a bit challenging, trying to keep the temperature regulated properly, especially if there are outdoor temperature fluctuations during the cooking period. Also do buy the book recommended by Amazon with this purchase. Some of the recipes are simply amazing, well worth the additional expense. Smoke & Spice: Cooking with Smoke, the Real Way to Barbecue This product enables you to make the best smoked food.

Worth every penny!!!!! by smoking n In (Newburgh,In)  5 Stars
October 09, 2009
Like most people on this site I liked smoked meats as much as the next person. Dont get caught up in the negative reviews about this smoker. I bought the Bradley 4 rack smoker abouth 9 months ago, and let me tell you it is the best smoker ever. Who has the time to sit and watch a fire all day just to get smoked food out of it. This is simple and the flavor is amazing. Everyone I know that has tasted the finished product has absolutley loved it. If you are thinking about buying this smoker dont waste time your time and efforts comparing this to other smokers this is the best bang for your buck.

Not perfect by O. Chetverikov (USA)  3 Stars
September 22, 2009
I bought this smoker several months back and waited to give it a review until I got a chance to use it for a while. This smoker has its pros and cons, overall I am happy with the purchase, but with a few caveats.
First, the positive aspects.
- This is definitely a much easier cooking process than the traditional two barrel BBQ unit. Load the meat, load the chips and let the magic happen. In most cases, getting started early in the morning gives you enough time for a tasty dinner. Ribs and chicken came out perfect, turkey and Boston butt were great too, but with some additional work (as explained below)
- Customer service is exceptional. A live person answered the phone every time during the official calling time. I had to replace some parts and they were shipped FedEx the next day with Saturday delivery. Moreover, I had trouble with the cooking temperature and they have people on the phone who are experienced cooks and had some recommendations for the cooking process.
Now, not so good aspects.
- In my opinion (which is shared by some folks on the Bradley forums), the unit is underpowered to be a true BBQ machine. Small loads (one chicken, one or two racks of ribs) worked great. A large load (two boston butts, 15lb total) or a medium size turkey (12-15lb) will bring the temperature down of a pre-heated smoker to less than 150F and it would take over two hours to get it back to 210F. And it would never go above 220F. Bradley support recommended trying opening the vent, but it did not help much. Pretty much every time I made large quantities of pulled pork, I had to finish it in the oven. The same with turkey, although when it was cut up in pieces instead of whole, it worked better.
- The overall quality did not live up to my expectations. I may just had a bad unit. Within one month of purchase, the plastic box housing the temperature control cracked. A few months later, the door started to crack and the rubber seal on it corroded. Bradley is fast to replace the parts while the smoker is within one year warranty. But I wonder how long the unit will last after the warranty expires.
So, overall a good product. I would recommend it, especially to a novice BBQ cook. If the next models up the wattage on the heating element and addresses the overall quality, it would be a superb unit.

"SMOKIN" by B. Albanese 5 Stars
September 14, 2009
Having prepared a 6 lb brisket according to the directions and recipe provided
by Bradley and enjoying it to the extent that it easily matched any brisket I've eaten, I am going against the instinct which would have me use the product for a few months before commenting on it.
Smoking purists will have their comments about the Bradley and they may
point to costs, no smoke rings, no outer char, but:
Basically, the smoker works in almost auto pilot mode. You set the smoker up, plug it in, set the SS waterbowl in place, set ( or take a stab at ) sliding the temperature control lever to a setting which will get the box to the proper temperature, add the flavored pucks to their silo, hit the advance button and
let the smoker do its magic.
We have used the smoker three times in the two weeks we've had it. Small issues:you will have to bend to slide the temperature control, you will worry that some nightmarish "I love Lucy" nutty thing can happen with the puck advance and pucks will be advancing--or not.You will smoke up your clothes when you open the door to see what's happening. You will have to clean the trays and racks. But the food tastes so good.
And it's almost sinful that you don't have to expend great effort to get a great result. We put the brisket in at 8:00 AM. The set up, beyond preparing the rub,
took minutes. We checked the water level twice during a ten hour cook. Modulated the temperature slide a couple of times. And enjoyed a great meal.
By the way, my wife, an attractive model type adverse to the outdoors, did the monitoring while I went into the city with one of my sons for a literary outing.
When we got back she was eager to show us the brisket's progress. She smelled a bit smoky but we agreed that the smoke added to her allure....

I love my Bradley!! by Bill K. (Hot Springs, AR) 5 Stars
September 13, 2009
I bought one of the "can" style units from the big discount house and would use it on occassion and got decent results, but a lot of it came out too dry. A friend bought a Bradley and kept saying how great it was ... I assumed he was trying to convince himself that the price he paid for it was worth it!! Then I had dinner at their house for ribs ... hmmm ....... MUCH better than mine. Oddly enough my "el cheapo" smoker died a week later. I found a "forum" for Bradley smokers online and read everything I could about which model, recipes, troubleshooting ......... and ordered it from amazon.com along with a few boxes of bisquettes. Now it seems I'm smoking up something almost every week. It makes the VERY best ribs, briskets, and salmon. But don't miss the Bradley Smoker Forum either ..... it's almost as good as the smoker itself!!! And for bisquettes, experiment for your own tastes but watch amazon carefully for the 4 for 3 deal AND free shipping ....... it proves to be the best price around on bisquettes.
