Bradley Smoker BTDS76P Bradley Professional 4 Rack Smoker

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!

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 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.

The idea is great, the concept is wonderful and I am sure that once upon a time, these clever machines were worth every penny you paid for them. But having lashed £400+ out for the full works that is the Bradley 4 Rack digital smoker and the cold smoker adaptor, I have to say I am hugely disappointed with what we have got. The machine has been built in China at the lowest possible cost, apparently using the cheapest of materials available. While I can quite see why a manufacturer would want to keep the retail price down to a minimum in this instance it seems to me as being somewhat self defeating to create a high end product out of such cheap materials. I would gladly have paid a little more for a more robust product We have used it and it has worked well giving delicious results, but I fear that this machine that should have been built to last a lifetime, will die a long time before I do.

My order came in a few days and there were no issues with the shipment. Unpacking and assembly was easy. A quick read of the manual and I was set. I'm new to smoker cooking and my first try at spare ribs only turned out fair. After a bit of research on the internet the second batch came out great. For those new to smoker cooking the internet is a great resource. The Bradley smoker is easy to use with oven temperature and timer. Separate control for the smoker time. It has a unique system for puck advance. My only concern is the smoker bisquettes are more expensive than pellets or wood chips. Overall I very happy with this Bradley smoker. Thumbs up.

I've been through many versions of smokers including my brother using Traeger's in the past, my Sister using grills with smoking functions, and me using the vertical smokers with front glass window. The last one was a real hassle to clean after use also. My Sister and Brother eventually went over the Bradley vertical racks with non-digital and then my Sister upgraded to the digital. Based on their rave reviews over a couple years, I decided to spend the "big" money on the Bradley digital also and am so pleased with it. I don't have to worry about trying to keep the temperature just right with a dial, and the puck system is clean and easy to use. It is an easy clean up after smoking. I was concerned about the cost of pucks at first since I smoke for 10-12 hours, but realized with my brother that we only need to use the pucks for the first 2-3 hours, then continue the meat in the smoker without the smoke, since it has a separate heating system that doesn't depend on the smoking/chips/pucks like my older smokers did. My hesitation about spending the extra money for the digital versus non-digital was relieved after just a couple uses and I highly recommend the digital if you can swing it. You won't be disappointed. Bonus that with this vertical system, it takes up much less space on the deck than previous smokers.

I am still using this model that I purchased here 14 years ago! I love this thing. It is very simple to use with excellent results every time. I’m not an expert but I love smokey barbecue and the Bradley smoker delivers. No, I do not work for them and was not paid for this review. I write plenty of negative reviews, this is not one of them. Just happy to report on a quality product, which is rare nowadays.

Love this smoker. We make cold smoked salmon. We bought it separately. Works perfect!

Great smoker. This is my 2nd one. A little pricey ta use but well worth it. Easy ta use........
