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.

I don't write very many reviews but decided this time I needed to. I bought this smoker for my husband for fathers day and it never worked. After many tries we discovered the heating element for the bisquette's was not heating at all and was instead feeding the high dollar bisquettes directly into the water making a sloppy mess. Really a bummer since we pulled it out to use for the first time on the 4th of July to make ribs etc and straight out of the box it wouldn't work. I contacted Bradley (on Monday after the holiday) and they were nice enough to offer to send a new element. Waited 2 weeks and it never showed. Called back and was told the heat element was on back order so was offered a new digital box with heat element attached. I'm thinking this is great! They sent one promptly but get this... it was used (scratched, burned and bent)!!! Let me say again, purchased this smoker BRAND new and it NEVER worked! Very disappointed. Didn't bother to contact Bradley again. Shipped the whole thing back to Amazon (the very last day) and got a refund.

When you have alot going on this is a perfect way to get great tasting food. I often go golfing and set up the smoker and by time im back foods about ready. Cool thing too is the water helps keep the meat moist and you can use any juice as a substitute for the water me personally like to use pineapple juice for ham or apple juice ive had mine for a couple years and the only thing i recommend to get right away if you dont already have it is a table to place this on top of makes it alit easier to tend to the meat overall great smoker very easy to use

Granted, I'm an uber-noob to smoking process, but this unit has worked well for me over the past two months. It's been used quite regularly (usually 2x a week for something). I do find that buying the pucks is a bit of a hassle and they may not carry the same flavor punch (so I'm told, but being new I think they are working great for my tastes so far). The pucks are easy to come by at many of my local stores or over the internet so I haven't ever had to wait to smoke something because of it.I've been running it in the cold, SE MN, and I find that I have to set the digital temp a bit higher than the internal temp ever reaches, but that seems reasonable to me when I'm out smoking in the single digits F. I haven't had any problems with leaks or loose hinges on the door (but I am babying it heavily right now).I'd definitely suggest this to family and friends. Looking forward to a couple of the upgrades available too.

This is a high quality smoker! It was very easy to assemble and it is easy to learn how to use and to clean. I live in SC and the climate is very warm in the summer and quite moderate in the winter. Given that fact this smoker does struggle to reach pre-heat oven temps when those temps are in the range of 250 degrees. Additionally, rebounds take considerably longer than I expected. I can only assume this smoker would struggle hard to operate effectively in the northern regions of the US especially during the winter months. I believe the heating element is insufficient. It is a 500 watt element. I solved this issue by removing this element and installing a 900 watt element which does a very much better job. It was not necessary for me to install a PID to control the new element and the existing 18 gauge wire was able to handle the additional load although the new load comes close to the rated maximum for this diameter wire. The modification made to the heating element is very easy, costs in the range of between $60-75, and you can view instructions on how to do it by searching YouTube. All in all, I am very satisfied!
