Bradley smoker

[Sandman]

I am looking for a new smoker. The bradley digital seems to be about what I am thinking of getting. Anybody like to share there experience with one of these? Thanks.

I have a Bradley and really like mine. I would suggest however getting the non-digital model and use the difference in cost to buy one of these...

It is a PID controller that is plug-n-play with the Original Bradley Smoker. It will also work with the digital but kind of replaces the digital functions.

It has much better temperature control and functions then the standard digital. And the integrated meat probe works with the controller.

If you buy one make sure to get the hanging cabinet temp probe and not the fixed.

Let me know if you have more questions.

I also have a Bradley. Mine is the 4
Rack digital. I have two 500w elements controlled by the dual probe PID that Muebe posted. I also have a 2" fan in mine.
Mike (Muebe) has I believe a 5" fan in his.

Really depends on what you would like to do. I have been a Bradley user for 5 years. I use it for cold smoking with the optional adapter. I bounce back and forth between my Treager and the Bradley
for most cooks. For sausage and bacon, the Auber controller is a must have to properly ramp up temps. I also use it quite a bit for getting smoke flavor into chicken or turkey, and finish on the Traeger or gasser. The Bradley alone just does not do well with poultry, as it does leave the skin somewhat rubbery. but the meat is tender and juicy.

I have a Bradley Original. I made a lot of great stuff in it before I added the PID.

The PID just makes it easier, especially for sausage and fish.

It is still my preferred smoker for bacon. I just like the way it comes out better than my other smokers.

What the other guys said.  I have the OBS and added a fan kit and dual probe PID.  Fantastic set up for sausage, snack sticks, brisket, pulled pork and bacon.

I really like my DBS6. I mainly use it for jerky, sausage, bacon, hamhocks and smoked salmon.  If your looking for a smoke ring on your meats the bradley wont produce one.

I have the OBS that I use for cold smoking cheeses, etc.

I had an old old Auber PID, but I just sold it to a guy who needed one to control a bread proofer.

I have an OBS with a 900 watt element, fan mod and Auber PID dual probe. It's set up for sausage, snack Stiks, fish and cold smoking cheese. It never goes past 175 degrees. But that's my choice. It suits my needs for sure.

Yes I have a PID, 900W Finned Heating Element,  and a 5 inch fan. Mike sometimes size matters

What are you looking to do in the smoker Sandman?

[Sandman]

I am mainly wanting to smoke sausage and maybe some bacon. Looks like the bradley is the way to go. Now I just have to talk myself into spending the money.
