With its automatic smoke generator, separate heating element with infinite control and a fully insulated
cabinet, the Bradley smoker eliminates the drastic temperature fluctuations and interruptions in
smoke production often associated with traditional smokers. These smokers automatically produces
clean, cool smoke for up to eight hours safely and without supervision. The key is the self-loading
Flavor Bisquettes™ that produce continuous smoke and are then extinguished automatically to
prevent formation of gases and acids that distort taste (feeds one bisquette every 20 minutes). The
temperature is adjustable up to 320° F. The internal cooking area is nearly 3.3 square feet. Outside dimensions: 31-1/4" x 24" x 14-3/4". Available: Black.

Bradley Smoker,September 12, 2009
By resortladyfrom Hayward, WI
"LOVE my Bradley. Worked in a smokehouse for 4 years. Now I do my own. Have made Bologna, Landjager, Polish and snack sticks. Smoked turkey and brisket. Very easy to operate and results are great. BUT don't skimp-buy an interior/exterior thermometer. Don't have to open the door to get the temp of the meat."

Pro: Great Smoker Con: Cleanup Is a Chore,September 2, 2009
By Toglefrom Barnesville, GA
"This review is for the original Bradley smoker (BTIS1). If you like your food smothered in smoke flavor, then this is the smoker for you. The Bradley smoker does an exceptional job of smoking food. By mixing bisquettes you can obtain any flavor you desire. Unfortunately, this smoker requires a lot of cleanup after use and constant attention during the smoking process unless you plan ahead. Using a larger drip/extinguishing pan can help a lot in this area. However, the biggest problem (requires most attention) is maintaining a constant cooking temperature using Bradley's manual slider rheostat control. Luckily, there is a solution to this problem in the form of a PID controller. This is a temperature control device designed especially for the Bradley smoker. We suffered with the Bradley slider control until we got our PID controller. It is a time-saver really worth investing in. We also purchased Bradley's cold smoke adapter (BCOLD) (for cold smoking cheese, fish, etc) and an extra smoke generator (BTSG1) for use with a non-Bradley smoke box. We are considering a second Bradley (BTIS1) and two more PID controllers. We use at least one of our smokers every day of the week year-round. So smoke quality is essential for us. The Bradley hits the mark every time."

Fair results with lots of fussing,August 23, 2009
By PezHeadfrom Pittsburgh, PA
"I like the product, but the slide bar for regulating temperature is very flaky, doesn't have a solid feel, and makes it very difficult to dial-in a temperature and keep it there. I would have preferred the digital temperature model, but not for the additional dollars.
Love the simplicity of the wood bisquettes. You can let the smoker go for 8 hours without emptying the bowl of used bisquettes.
Need to rotate the meat inside or the top rack won't be done when the lower racks are.
Overall, an average product for a pretty good price."

The Bradley Original!,August 18, 2009
By SSMITH2from Colorado Springs, CO
"Fantastic pieces of equipment. Works well as long as you practice a little and get to know the device. Be sure to check out the forums on the Bradley websites for wonderful tips and recipes.
Pros: Makes wonderfully smoked foods. You can COLD smoke (without heat) big plus in my book. The wood pucks aren't really that expensive and are VERY easy to use.
Cons: Has a hard time keeping up temp in windy conditions. Not sure how it will do when winter comes around. Don't fill the cabinet up with too much meat as the heater will not be able to accommodate (slow to return to temperature)."

A great smoker,August 16, 2009
By JoeSmokefrom Suwanee, GA
"The Baradley smoker was a big surprise, I have been smoking meat for 20 years and always on a charcoal smoker because I thought that was the only way to get pork smoked right. I was wrong, the Bradley does a great job of smoking the pork and eleminates the hastle of getting up every 2-3 hours to add more wood chips. It as very versitle and the blog on the website helps you find recipes and tips on just about everything."

"one of the questions that was asked was would i recommend this smoker to a friend. the answer is an emphatic yes!!!! in fact i did mention it to two of my friends and they both purchased one. in fact i purchased a second one! the first one is still working well after 4 years of use so i figured why not? i am now using 2 original bradley smokers for wings, pork, fish, cheese. etc.etc.etc. this is by far one of the easiest smokers to use. ...........sorry, i could go on and on but i won't. just get one and you will see!"

Not real happy,August 10, 2009
By cj27from Michigan
"I wasnt impressed with this smoker,didn't like the fact that you have to buy the pucks which are way over priced, and you can't add your own wood chips. after using it twice the thing wouldnt even heat up and ended up taking it back. I would not buy another one."

Nice made smoker, works well too,August 10, 2009
By bkdjrfrom East KY
"Its a very nice smoker for the sale price I got it for. I had a gas smoker and it turned into a sooter and I don't know what happened. The burners seemed open but rusty. It was about gone anyway so I bought this one.
The biscuits are easy but expensive and I live in a small town and no one stocks them. I figure I can but some chips in foil and place them next to the element if I need to (I tried it, it works). The upside is of course you don't have to stand there adding chips. It looks like a large dorm fridge or something, pretty nice.
It doesn't get really hot fast enough like it should. On a hot day I preheated it to like 225 or something then put in 3 beer can chickens. The temp dropped of course quit a bit as expected but it took forever (1.5 hours?) to recover and still I don't think it ever really got 225 even wide open. Again it was like mid 80's and no wind. The element is just too small. On a cool day I don't think it would work very well.
I would still buy it again, the beer can chicken was really great! I wish I wasn't so health conscious, I would love some pork butt!"

Bradley Smoker,August 4, 2009
By AngeloLBfrom Long Beach, NY
"A Solid product thats worth the money but it will take a few tries to learn how it works and get comfortable with it so but extra pucks and plan on messing up a few times. But be forwarned that this is not like smoking with a barrel, its easier but you might need to finish on the grill depending on how you like your exterior to look and taste."

Outstanding product,August 4, 2009
By Alaskajbfrom Southwest Alaska
"This product is awesome. I have been smoking lots of sockeye and this smoker gave me such good results that I purchased a second one to produce twice as much product. The only drawback that I can think of is the price of the bisquettes, however the quality of the final smoked product more than makes up for this drawback. I would highly reccomend this smoker to anyone who is interested in a high quality smoked product."

Bradley Smoker,May 19, 2009
By zeuszoofrom Orangeburg,SC
"The smoker is great, but I did have to contact them directly and return the advancer as it did not work properly. The folks at Bradley were great. They sent me a new advancer ASAP and now it's all good. I tried to return it to Cabala’s but they wanted the entire unit to be returned, which would have just added more cost to the overall return. Tks"

Excellent smoker,May 4, 2009
By MYFORDfrom Milton, VT
"This is my 3rd smoker. 1st was an electric with wood chips, but the electric element burned out and it didn't have much room. 2nd was a charcoal fired smoker. Messy and hard to regulate temperature. The Bradley Electric smoker has enough capacity to keep me happy, very easy temperature contol, and easy to clean up. 1st try was with Rainbow trout and my friends were raving about the results. No more changing wood chips or lighting charcoal. This smoker is very well built and should last for years."

Not Bad,March 22, 2009
By RescueInstructor
"I used this smoker for the first time today, and it worked pretty well. I smoked 3 racks of ribs and my family wants me to do them again. Two problems, you have to keep an eye on the temp to get it dialed in, but once you get it the temperature stays steady. The other was that none of the pucks burned to ashes. I found 9 pucks in the drop tray that were black and in one piece. Just think that if Bradley charges so much for these bisquettes that you should be able to completely burn them. Seemed like a waste of money. If you can look past that the meat turned out great. With a little tweeking you'll get the hang of it."
