1. Bradley Smokers are made to cook low and slow. Take your time and plan ahead as
your smoker was designed to smoke slowly at a low temperature. By using this method,
you will end up with a better taste and aroma.
2. Do not overfill your racks – always leave space to allow for constant airflow, otherwise
your smoke will be trapped and won't circulate through the entirety of your unit.
3. To evenly cook or smoke food it is recommended to rotate racks up and down and
front to back.
4. Smoking times and temperature will vary based on the following conditions:
a) Ambient air temperature
b) Amount of product in the smoker
c) Internal temperature of whatever you're smoking
d) Displayed temperature readings are for reference only
5. NEVER fully close your smoker vent.
6. Empty and refill your water bowl every 2 hours
7. When cooking or smoking foods that are heavy with grease and fat, please place the pie
plate or bowl directly under the food to catch as much of the rendering as possible. This
will help to keep your Bradley Smoker clean and will extend the life of your smoker. It
will also help to prevent the possibility of a grease fire.
8. Always keep your smoker clean to increase the longevity of your unit.
Note: Meat probes cables are not dishwasher safe. Do not submerge the cables or
connecting ends into water or liquid of any sort, this will permanently damage them.
