This might end up in the Fifth Wheel

Canadian Tire had these on sale this weekend.

Bradley 2 Rack Electric Smoker

I had always wanted a Bradley smoker ever since my uncle bought one and gave us a piece of the smoked brisket he made. I love smoked meat, but could never justify one of the larger smokers for just my DW and I.

We had a nice small smoked Beef Tenderloin for dinner last night. I wanted to have some left over for sandwiches today, but it didn't last that long.

Next time, I will have to smoke a larger tenderloin.
  • I agree that if Bradley were to go belly up some equity company would buy it and sell the biscuit line to someone.
    I have wondered however, never seeing the process, if one could fill the void where the biscuit goes with sawdust?
    The problem that many RVers have, IMO, with smokers is in getting one that is small enough to store. I think the majority of us only smoke for 2, maybe 4, people at the most. This one does look like it would be a good one for those who always have electricity available, or don't want to mess with charcoal.

    I have my eye on a Cameron Smoker, just haven't pulled the trigger on it yet.
  • I've been looking for a small smoker myself. After reading this post I did a little research. If anyone else is interested, I found one that is a little cheaper. I think it would be worth trying.
    Thanks LastOfTheBohicans for the info.

    I deleted your typo for you. When paying that much for an item I like to have at least ten or more years out of it. At the rate that companies change management these days and product lines are suddenly dropped, I prefer having other options that are usable for the smoke. Perhaps Super Dave can come up with a suitable substitute that will keep this appliance usable?
  • I make solid "bisquettes" for my home box smoker by cutting limbs into round wafer discs. I wonder if stack cut to the correct thickness would work on a Bradley bisquette smoker.
  • If they stop making the bisquettes (I found out the correct spelling from the website), then you have a fancy bread storage bin or an under powered convection oven.

    Do I worry about this? Nope.

    The bisquette is integral to Bradley's entire product line. They will dispose of it about the same time that Apple ditches iTunes.

    If they do decide to drop it, some company will gladly buy out the IP to fill the void.

    Edited to fix typo.
  • I like the idea of the small footprint, etc. If they quit making the wood biscuits or the company goes out of business is there another option for creating the smoke?
  • Bohican...

    Found this review on-line... also located them at about
    $240 on-line. Many positives... small footprint, as we
    are headed into empty nesters good size. hmmm....thanks

  • You just know that some red neck tried to convert an old toaster oven and it worked. LOL!
