The Bradley Automatic Set and Forget It Smoker

A "set it and forget it" smoker?

We have seen the infomercial and are familiar with the phrase "set it and forget it". As cliché as that may sound the product delivers as promised. Well, the Bradley Automatic Smoker is to smoking meat what the Showtime Rotisserie is to making a tasty cornish hen. No one can beat the convenience of cooking large quality meals without much effort. The majority of people these days are over tasked and have a limited amount of time for cooking. So the thought of needing five to ten hours to smoke a brisket is out of the question. Who has time for the amount of attention needed to tend to a traditional charcoal smoker grill?

For some, using a charcoal smoker can be a daunting task. Constant attention must be given to maintain the right amount of heat, adding wood to maintain a good smoking environment and when done there is a considerable amount of mess to clean up. However the good people at the Bradley Smoker Company have come up with a terrific product that answers the call to make it possible to give the meat smoking community the convenience of set it and forget it.

Sounds great! Does the Bradley Automatic Smoker work?

The thought of some contraption that can maintain the low temperatures needed for a good slow smoker is easily conceivable. However, how in the world is a smoker going to put it's own wood in the smoke box when needed? If someone could figure it out, just how reliable would it be? I mean if it should fail a brisket could be ruined. I'm sure this is the same thing going through the heads of the makers of the Bradley Smoker. Thank goodness someone over there came up with the right idea and they got it right too. The invention of a high quality and completely hands free automatic smoker should be a red letter date in my book. What makes this Smoker so great is that, for one, it works! Second, it is a reliable as a microwave oven.

Ok, so it works. How?

There isn't much new on how it is able maintain whatever temperature you set it at. The modern oven has been doing that for over 50 years. What makes the Bradley Smoker so unique is its process of automatically loading wood at just the right time to maintain a good smoking environment for delicious and perfectly cooked food. The Bradley Company uses a small round "biscuit" like wood chunks that are manufactured to be used the their smoker. These wood biscuits are loaded into a feeder that is timed perfectly to load a new one into the smoke chamber when the previous one is has been used up. So all you have to do is load the feeder, set the temperature you want and let it work for you. That makes this smoker truly a "set it and forget it" smoker that well make perfectly cooked food over and over every time.
