Product Description
Cater to your savor of a great smoked flavor! Make delectable treats with the Bradley Original Black Smoker! Here's a unique smoke house, sold complete with its accompanying smoke generator. Flavor bisquettes are burned for 20 minutes each at a consistent temperature in the unit's smoke generator, producing clean, continuous smoke. This eliminates high temperature gases, acids and resins that can distort the flavor of smoked food. It's light enough to carry and is about the size of a small refrigerator. It makes clean tasting food without any aftertaste. While some smokers need to be tended constantly, this one automatically produces clean, cool smoke for up to 8 hours safely. Using the independently controlled internal heating element, the Bradley Original Smoker will also hot smoke, or may be used simply as a slow cooker or slow roasting oven. The low temperature cooking environment is perfect for any smoking project and the infra-red heater source is also particularly well suited for drying fruits. Smoking hot features! Powder epoxy steel exterior, aluminum interior; Internal cooking volume: 2,288 cu. in.; Internal heater: 500 watt cooking element and 125 watt smoking element; Power specifications: 120 volt-60 Hz, 5.5 Amps; Maximum temperature is controllable up to 320 degrees F Thermometer included; 4 adjustable wire racks are included; Comes with user guide, recipe booklet, rectangular tray and drip bowl; Measures 17"w. x 14 1/2"d. x 31"h; weight 40 lbs.; 1-yr.

 The Super Automatic Smoker is a reality March 15, 2010
Scott J. Weber (Hastings, MN USA)
I had been looking for some type of meat smoker for a while and I had never even heard of this one until I searched on Amazon. I love smoked meats especially ribs and I was prepared to buy one of the many charcoal fired barrel type products out there and figured that I just have to accept the fact that it takes lots of babysitting to keep the temp right and that you need to keep making adjustment and adding wood chips over the course of a day in hopes that you did not wait too long and burn the food up or let the fire get too cold.
I love my Super Automatic Espresso maker, you just press the size drink you want and out comes a perfect espresso every time. This smoker is just like that, no hassle, no babysitting, no guessing and you can start it up in the morning and walk away until you are ready to eat. I do understand that some people may want to be involved in the day long cooking and fiddling process of other smokers and that it may be relaxing and fun but for the rest of us, this is the ticket.
The quality of the metal, paint, other parts is exceptional and had I paid twice the price I would still be impressed. The packaging alone is beyond belief, they are serious about this thing arriving with no damage.
The bottom line is that by following the simple recipes that it comes with, I have had amazingly good, ribs, pork roasts, chicken, fish and brisket so far and it is as good as any I have ever had and I have had a lot in my life. The smoke flavor is very sweet and subtle, not burnt and unpleasant like out of control smokers can produce.
My advise is to buy cheap pork roasts and ribs since all of the fat drains out of the meat anyway and makes for a more moist texture. I look forward to experimenting with other wood flavors and spices. I also find that even sitting outside on a windy 40 degree day I never saw the temperature change more then a few degrees.
 Great Cold Smoker!! So So at Hot Smoking March 15, 2010
Dan Elmore (Arizona)
I got to tell you, we do ALOT of smoking. We love good barbeque here so I've tried a lot of different equipment trying to find the perfect smoker that is: simple to use and provides consistent results. There are some definite pros and cons to this smoker. Let's get the bad news out of the way first:
1. Temperature control is very difficult & inconsistent with the slide control. I'd highly recommend purchasing the digitally temperature controlled model over this model for more consistent heating if you want to hot smoke (cook).
Pros:
1. THIS IS A TRULY GREAT COLD SMOKER!! Just turn the slide heat control off. You can smoke heat sensitive foods like fish, cheese, bacon, hocks, hard boiled eggs, salt & more with a wonderfully sweet smoky flavor and consistent results!
2. The pucks cycle on their own. Just set it and forget it. They provide a constant supply of smoke in a wide variety of flavors (although I myself only use Mesquite for beef and Hickory for everything else).
3. The smoker is compact and is fairly easy to clean.
While it's not great for cooking purposes, it does turn out some truly great foods. Try buying a 2lb package of thick sliced bacon from the grocery store and cold smoke it with hickory for about 2-3 hours and you'll TASTE & LOVE the difference! Smoke some cheddar cheese or kosher salt. Hickory Farms will be jealous! I just can't recommend you purchase this particular smoker for hot smoking. Remember, the digitally temperature controlled model can do all of this, PLUS hot smoke.
 Good Smoker In Spite of Some Bugs March 5, 2010
G. Robertson (janesville, ca United States)
With our local commercial smoker getting increasingly proud of his product, we decided to get a home smoker for ourselves as a belated Christmas gift. When the smoker arrived, I immediately "cured" it per the instructions, and everything seemed to work perfectly. When I tried to smoke some sausages, it was a different story. The smoke generator started advancing the smoking discs like a slot machine paying off in Vegas. I made two calls to customer service, and each time the folks were helpful, trying to give me tips on how I could repair the smoke generator myself. After the third call it was apparent to them that the problem was beyond my capabilities, and they agreed to send me a new smoke generator.
The new replacement part arrived in a timely manner, and I have had no problems since then. I would, however, recommend that if you decide to purchase this somoker, you go the extra expense and get an Auber PID to control the temperature. The existing slide control and temperature guage that come with the Original Bradley Smoker are kind of rinky-dink and make it difficult to control accurate temperatures. The Auber PID solves this problem perfectly.
Even with the initial problems, I think this is a pretty good smoker for the cost, and I have nothing but good things to say about Bradley's customer service department.
