Bradley - Digital Smoker

My second Bradley smoker. Love the digital display and timer.Food sensational.You cannot fail!

Very badly let down by a sky-high price tag, and poor quality materials. The concept is fantastic, and the unit produces very high-quality results until the cheap and nasty materials and pitiful build-quality cause it to fail. Combine this with dreadful spares availability within the UK, and utterly abysmal customer service from Bradley UK and I really can't find it in myself to recommend this product to anyone. At the price, this unit should last a lifetime, but if you use it even relatively often you'll be lucky to get a couple of years from it. Get your finger out Bradley, and start looking after your customers

Lasted less than 12 months before the control unit died. I have since spent almost the past 5 months (yes, that is not a typo - 5 months) attempting to get Amazon to replace it. 5 months in which I have been lied to by customer services on a number of occasions. Every week I have received an email telling me that my item is about to be dispatched but that the delivery has been delayed by a week. Every week. For nearly five months.I finally snapped and telephoned customer services this evening and had a very frustrating 30 minute telephone conversation with an operator who could barely hold a conversation in English, and then her 'supervisor' who wasn't much better. I have now demanded a refund. Wonder if I'll actually get it.Amazon customer services have always been excellent in the past when I've had an issue. This has completely ruined that impression. Please get your act together, Amazon.

This Bradley smoker is so good lots of space the racks are very good the smoking system is great though a bit of a bitch to clean this only hot smoke if you want to cold smoke you need an attachment whilst smoking it smells very nice I brought a cover as well that was very well made in all I would have another

Do not buy, it's ok if you only cook one thing but if you have a few bits of food cooking it won't get hot enough to cook,see the forums online the element isn't powerful enough. It's a bad design fault.

I have had a 4 rack digital model for several years now but I had to purchase a new smoke generator early on because the original started to fail to feed the wood fuel discs successfully. It also occurred on my second unit soon after purchase. It would appear to be because a wood disc became jammed as did the feed motor whilst feeding and probably burned out the relay contacts as there is no fuse in the motor circuit to provide protection although there is one at the rear of the cabinet but it never blew. The reason appears to be that if you leave partly used disc packs exposed to the air for any length of time the discs swell due to absorbing moisture and jam in the slide feeding mechanism leading to the burner.I have made up my own timer circuit which is working well with a 20ma quick blow fuse for protection. I also think that the discs are probably all of the same basic species of wood dipped in flavourings to create different varieties. Read the text on the box.I would not buy another as the build quality is poor.

I bought my Original Bradley Smoker nearly 5 years ago and it has given me superb and trouble-free results. The digital version of this smoker depicted here is the next step up - the main difference between the original and this one, is its rather more precise digital control of temperatures and smoke timings.If you are going to operate a smoker like this, you are best advised to have something shed-like outside where it can "live" and operate. Mine stays in its mini-shed, with plenty of room around it, raised on a plinth so that the cold smoking adapter can be left permanently attached (you can still hot smoke with this attached by the way, just unplug the power cord to the main cabinet if you want to cold smoke). The idea is that even if it starts raining, you can still leave the door of the shed open a crack to let the smoke out but not short out the electricity. If its a dedicated shed, then you could also add a flu to the roof of the shed.Warning! If you use these smokers indoors you are going to need some really good extraction or you will "kipper" your house! Also, even though this is a largely automated device, always check on it regularly to make sure the bisquette discard bowl has plenty of water still in it for extinguishing the spent bisquettes.I have had many a wonderful dish using mine - my own smoked ham, salmon, lamb, cheese, garlic - and I hope to do many more things with it in the future - thank you Bradley!As you will see from my comment to the last reviewer - I think they have been very unfair about their review. Search out and have a read at the Bradley Smoker Forum to see how many happy smokers there are out there - I certainly won't be "giving this up" for the forseeable future!

This is a great product. You control the temp and smoke so that you decide how you would like your meat cooked as well the amount of a smoke flavor you would like to have. So far we have smoked salmon and chicken wings. The salmon was cheaper pink salmon, however it turned out wonderful. Smoke flavor was great and it was soft and moist. The wings were great as well. We used a hot sauce. Combined with the smoke flavor it was very tasty. They turned out quite tender as well. My only con about it is that when we are near it out doors the smoke clings to our clothes. Other than that it is a great addition to our outdoor cooking.
