Bradley Smoker 6-Rack Outdoor Electric Smoker, Digital Vertical Smoker With Stainless Steel Grill

This is a very nice smoker and the Bradley company backs their products completely. Upon arrival, the front door was damaged during shipment. With one phone call I had a new door delivered to our home in Alaska within a week, directly from the company. I was also assurred that any future problems would be handled with such prompt and curtious responses. I would recommend the smoker to anyone who hasn't the patience or desire to constantly feed wood or chips into a non-digital smoker. This one has a wonderful feeding stack and does a tremendous job. I bought it as a birthday gift for my husband thinking that I wouldn't be inclined to use it. However, that's not the case at all. Due to the obvious user friendly digital display panel, I had no problems cooking with it myself.I recommend this smoker to anyone! We love it!

I have owned a Bradley Digital 4 rack smoker for 7 years, I have been very pleased with it. In the past I used it very infrequently until I discovered the Bradley forums, then after reading peoples experiences I increased my knowledge and branched out into the smoking world, I just recently experienced a small grease fire in my smoker which pretty much burned it up, I am replacing it with a 6 rack digital. After reading the negative reviews for this product I had to give my two cents. Yes the factory temp sensor is inadequate, but any fault with this smoker can be overcome. First you can add a small fan kit which will circulate the air inside, you can also add an additional heat element which will greatly inprove the cooking times. If you are a serious smoker you will see the need for a PID which will control the temps far better and is highly accurate. Yes you will spend some extra money but the end result is far worth it. My best advice is to do some research before you purchase one of these smokers, you may decide that this one is not for you, if you get one you will not be disappointed once you realize what its potential is. Also visit the the Bradley smoker forums, any possible question you may have about this smoker has already been asked by someone else and has been answered.

Terrible product do not buy. Takes forever to heat and does not hold a consistant temp. DO NOT BUY

I am currently enjoying my Bradley smoker. Very easy to use with great results. Just make sure to read the instructions thoroughly and understand the process and relationship between the heating element and auto feeder for the bisquettes. Because its electric its very easy to use and the results are consistent. Its also easy to clean and maintain. Instructions say not to place any foil or anything on the vented drip pan because the smoking unit still needs to vent from the bottom. I do wrap the drip pan with foil, but spend the time to punch through all the vent holes just to make cleaning a little easier because the fat and drips burn and bake on the drip pan which is right over the heating element. Just my choice. Great product. I make my own venison sausages and venison jerkey with great results. All my friends and family love the results.

I do like this smoker a lot. I'm glad I got the bigger size and the digital controls. The only thing that keeps me from giving it five stars is that the max time on this cooker is, I think, 9 hours and 40 minutes. Maybe I'm missing something and someone will be quick to point it out if I'm wrong but that's the max time I can give it. It's not the end of the world because I just add more time before I go to bed but I got this type of smoke to set and forget. Anything less than that, it's a non-issue. The other thing is I haven't been able to test how long I really get out of a full load of pucks. For my ten-hour timer, they were all gone by the time I woke up which was less than ten hours. Plus, many of them weren't fully burnt which could have been a fluke. I also bought the cold smoke adapter which I regretted. I subsequently bought the A-Maze-N pellet smoker tray which I use to cold smoke things. Easier to use that versus hooking up the cold smoke adapter and cheaper too. The pellets are cheaper than the pucks and you can get up to 11 hours with the 5x8 size pellet tray. I think what will end up happening is I'll use the pucks for anything up to six hours and the pellets for longer cooks.I settled on this one after considering the wifi smokers and the ones with glass doors. In the end, who cares about wifi or Bluetooth connectivity and a glass door will just turn black after your first smoke anyway.

I was fortunate to have a lot of venison to smoke this year so I bought this smoker. The summer sausage, snack sticks and brats turned out great. Unlike my dehydrator, which has convection, the bottom racks cooks the fastest and the top rack the slowest. This just means that these two racks need to be flip flopped mid way through the process. It arrived in two days and was in perfect condition. Bradley goes the extra mile with their packing material to ensure that damage during shipping is unlikely. It took 10 minutes to assemble and after reading through the instruction manual I was off to the races.

It works good, it does what it supposed to do, one thing I must say is that the heating element went out on me, but I got a replacement in no time, and had no more problems since then. Good for your money, and don't forget to get the bisquetts, to smoke your food, they give a nice flavor, get large pack, better for your money. Oh and try the recipeies that are included on the manual, or go on line and get them, they are delicious. This is a product that one is proud to own, and to tell others about.
