This... And there's nothing I don't smoke on mine. The constant 220-225 temp is almost like cheating. Actually it is! And it's very simple to get the smoke right by using different chucks or chips that can be wet or dry. If they made a larger model, I'd buy it.

Bitch aboit them allover social media. That will typically get a company to cave.

I once considered a Bradley, but I heard the discs are pretty expensive and a lot of horror stories about the smokers themselves.

I went with a Masterbuilt with the cold smoke kit. Been great for overnight smokes.

Buy a pellet smoker like a Treager and be a winner the rest of your life.:D

I love mine.

I was given an electric smoker several years ago and I have now perfected my use of it and produce incredible smoked pork shoulders.

It took a lot of trial and but eventually I got that stupid electric element pulled out and cut the cord off. Now I can put plenty of wood in it to get the right amount of smoke.

Works way better now.

I had an entry level Bradley as my first smoker. Wasn't sure I'd like it and want to "hassle" with it on a regular basis. So those stupid discs wernt an issue. I ended up wearing it out and upgraded to another high end version. It allowed me to time how many discs went into the smoker and increase my smoke times without any action from me. Easy peasy.
I have the Masterbuilt now after wearing out my 2nd smoker. The cold smoke is just an add on right?

So you took the electric out of your electric smoker?

Also how I read it... confused.

Yeah. The directions had me put a few soaked wood chips in a tray and fill another tray with water.

The meat would cook and the box filled with steam but the wood chips just got darker and never ignited. Seemed like we were just cooking it with heat and steam instead of smoke.

It has a pull out tray in the bottom where I pile the lit charcoal and wood underneath where the cooking element used to be. (It actually broke off fairly easily with a little effort)

I know it's not the conventional way of using it - certainly not what it was designed for, but I always wanted a wood smoker so I just modified it.

Bottom line is, in my family everyone loves grampa's pulled pork sandwiches. Most of my grandkids demand it for their birthday gatherings.

Interesting. The element of the Brinkmann electric smoker is somewhat of a serpentine shape that sits in red lava rocks. The upper parts of the smoker lifts off easily which gives easy access to the element. For heavy smoke and a short boost in temp you can place a single chunk of wood on the element, and the rest of the evolution can be super-soaked chips slow-burning because you don't place them on the element (as they instruct).

I've also found that after a period of not using it (a couple of weeks) and some rain, the lava rocks have some amount of water in them. While water won't rise to the level of the actual element because the hole where the element/power cord penetrate the housing acts as a drain that keeps the element dry, leaving that water in there does create steam/high moisture.

I'm telling ya, the Brinkmann was very inexpensive, but it's amazing too. Knowing you can put a brisket on in the morning with ample soaked chips and chunks (chunks away from the element) then leave for 6 hours is freakin nice!

The one I was given wasn't that nice. And for me, part of the fun is ****ing with it. Adding wood, monitoring the heat and smoke, etc. I make a day of it. And, I think the part I like the best is in the afternoon when my recipe calls for the cook (me) to add several whiskey / coke's to my belly.

Then it just gets to be more fun.

For some reason.

:D

Mine would be rum-and-diet, chilled Merlot, beers, or martinis (OK, almost any ****ing drink!!), but I'm with you....

How long does it take an Amazon review with pictures/video to post?

I wrote a 1 star review for those queers at Bradley but nothing has shown up and I submitted it last night.

Yeah it's an add on.

I've heard BQ on Traegers have gone down a lot in the last few years.

Been looking at the GMG with wifi for ultra lazy mode.

You got banned from reviews on Amazon!!!! LMAO

Actually, some times they take a few days...

They have you on ignore.
