Smoker

I have a weber smokey mountain charcoal smoker and love it. After a couple smokes you will have the hang of it.

Great smoker. I heard it can be harder to use in the cold winter?

I have done pork butts with an outside temp around -2 but have not done any long smokes in truly cold weather.

Bradley electric is the easiest to use and very consistent at holding temp, can also cold smoke with it.

Agreed, I own 2, an original and a digital.

Have u ever tried cookies,pizza.. cornbread cooked over wood? A komado can be picked up starting at less $300 or get a BGE at $1300...

Electric smokers fail in comparison due to the fact that the wood doesn't reach the proper combustion temp to allow the food to smoke properly.. there is a difference in taste.

Gas smokers will burn the wood properly to infuse the meat properly.
However temperature control is not as stable as lump charcoal/electric. Gas is also known to dry out meat.. requiring you to add a water tray.

Wrong, I've never had a problem with my wood burning or problems with flavour.

Thanks guys.....i am thinking the digital Bradley electric may be the way for me to go....basically want to do pepperettes/kolbasa and ribs but im sure i will branch out further and open up to whatever can be smoked....

you won't be sorry Rick, I use mine all year round. Digital is the way to go just watch the your time doesn't shut it off before your are done. In cold weather keep it out of the wind. I have power in my garden shed and put my smoker in there in the winter. I did 41 lbs. of bacon in January.

good luck with your new Bradley.

electric is the easiest, most consistent heat. you can buy a tray called the amazing smoker to cold smoke.

But the one on Sale at Lowes isn't digital right?

No its not Seabast but i didnt want to wait for the digital to go on sale so i grabbed this one for now....good beginner smoker from what i have been reading....

I got the digital Bradley for Christmas last year and did ribs for my first time last Sunday.
Absolutely freaking amazing ribs. Cant wait to smoke something else. Maybe one day the salmon will cooperate and I will smoke them.
Have fun with the new toy.
