Dear Sir or Madam,
Revolutionary Smoking Technology for Household Chefs
Welcome to the wonderful experience of backyard smoking and slow roast cooking. The Bradley Smoker is an insulated smoker oven designed to automatically generate a continuous flow of clean smoke. It is an outdoor electrical appliance that enables one to cook, roast, hot smoke, as well as cold smoke food with consistently superior results using minimal effort.

The Bradley Smoker is unique in that it produces smoke which is four times cleaner than traditional burn-box chips*. Because it automatically extinguishes the spent bisquette, it prevents the formation of high temperature gases and acids. In addition, the Bradley Smoker meets both North American and European appliance standards.

There are eleven different woods of the Bradley Flavor Bisquettes that are made especially for your smoker: Alder, Apple, Cherry, Hickory, Maple, Mesquite, Oak, Pecan, Pacific Blend, Special Blend and Whisky Oak. For recipes ideas, please have a look on the enclosed recipes booklet and on our website: www.bradleysmoker.com

We also suggest you try our Bradley Recipe Collection, Flavor Cures, Bradley Jerky Racks, Bradley Original Racks, Sausage Hooks, Weather Guard Covers, Caps, Aprons, and the Bradley Digital Thermometer with meat probe that takes all the guesswork out of roasting and smoking meat.

I wish you great cooking and smoking for the years to come.

Sincerely,

Wade Bradley

General Maintenance

Refer to the External Components List & Internal Components List Diagrams

Important Safety Precautions

• The Bradley Smoker must be maintained and cleaned after each use.
• Unplug the Long Power Cord prior to commencement of any maintenance or cleaning.
• Do not immerse smoker in water.
• Do not spray inside of smoker with any kind of appliance cleaner.
• Do not cover or seal the Racks or Drip Tray with aluminum foil. This can cause severe damage to your smoker.

Maintenance Procedures

• Use caution when handling and cleaning your smoker as some metal edges may be sharp.
• Clean out the Drip Bowl. Dispose of all burnt Bisquettes carefully as they may still be hot.
• Wash the Drip Tray, Racks, Bottom Rectangular Tray and Drip Bowl with hot water and dish detergent or put them in the dishwasher.
• Remove food particles and grease residue from the smoker. If the inside needs cleaning, wipe it with a damp cloth.
• Note: The tower should have smoke or black residue on the inside. The more residues, the better the product will taste.
• The Smoke Generator should be kept clean and free of wood chips and grease at all times. If loose wood chips have collected in the Smoke Generator, simply blow or vacuum these particles away.

After Cleaning

• Replace Racks, Drip Tray, Bottom Rectangular Tray and Drip Bowl into the smoker, making sure all parts are clean and dry.
• Insert the Smoke Generator back into the Smoke Tower.
• Make sure the Long Power Cord is unplugged.

Trouble Shooting

No Power To Smoker
Check that all plugs are correctly and firmly inserted into sockets. Check fuse (located on smoke generator). Check to make sure the outlet, Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), has not been tripped.

Bisquettes Will Not Advance
Check the drive guide and clear all loose wood chips. By cleaning the smoke generator, Bisquette jamming and undue wear and tear can be avoided.

Bisquettes Will Not Burn Completely
Check to see if other electrical equipment is plugged into the circuit. The smoker should be plugged into its own dedicated wall circuit. Check to make sure the Bisquettes burner is free of residue build up.

Smoker Oven Not Reaching Temperatures
Allow smoker oven time to preheat. Remember, once food is put in the oven, the temperature will drop, and slowly rise again. Try closing the Damper slightly and keeping the smoker out of the wind. Next, try using a separate thermometer inside the smoker oven to ensure the temperature is reading correctly.

Note: Normal cooking temperature is between 95-120 °C (200–250 °F). Keep in mind that the temperature shown on the display is for reference only and is not intended to give exact internal temperatures of the food. The internal temperature will be higher closer to the Heat Element.
