 "Perfect portable smoker for camping" 2009-04-19
By Motor Home Driver (Emery, SD)
Smoking meat is about finding a way to cook in smoke all day at about 200 degrees. You either tediously tend a fire or find an automatic smoker like the Bradley models. Bradley has been around for a long time and their smokers work great.



The "perfect" weekend smoker for home would be one of their digital smokers like Bradley Digital 4- Rack Smoker. It is reasonably compact and well made. It uses 120 volt electricity to turn the wood bisquettes into smoke.



But, it is hard to take your smoker with you. For camping weekends, the Propane Smoker is "perfect". Instead of using 120 volt electricity it uses a 1 pound can of propane and 4 AA batteries. The system of a rack and foil tent is very clever. The finished food is wonderful. You will make lots of friends because the all day aroma will bring visitors!



Pros:

- stores in a compact bag

- well made components

- it iseasy to control the cooking temperature

- you can throw away the tent so it does not stink on the way home

- all the dirty parts can be transported home in a garbage bag for cleaning in the dishwasher.

- it is a lot of fun to use on a camping trip



Cons:

- a challenge to use if it is windy

- you have to buy tents

- you have to buy propane cans

- you have to buy Bradley bisquettes like Bradley Smoker Bisquettes, 48 Pack (Choose Flavor)

- if you store it in an RV, you have to keep it clean or it smells



Hints:

- focus on cheap ribs, brisket and pork shoulder

- dry rub the meat at home before the camping trip and double bag it in plastic

- poke a cooking thermometer throgh the tent for temperature control

- if you want to clean the parts "in the field" soak them overnight in a Rubbermaid tube with a strong dose of ammonia cleaner.



If you like to cook meat when you go camping this is a toy you will have a lot of fun with. Your friends and family will love you for it.

 "Nice Little Smoker" 2008-04-21
By Reardon Smith (Houston, TX USA)
The main advantage of this smoker is it's small size, which is just right for the two of us. It comes apart and all the smoker enclosure racks etc go in the dishwasher, so clean-up is very easy. It is designed to be transported in a hold-all, though we haven't done that - we just carry it from and to the garden shed for storage. The smoker "bag" that is the cover for the enclosure definitely has a finite life, and it would have been good if they included a few more than the one extra in the box. The only problem I have encountered is that here in Texas, where the outside air is usually pretty warm, it is hard to get the internal smoker temperature down low enough for a long cooking time. Even on the lowest setting the cooking flame heats the smoker to 250 to 300 degrees. The smoker flame isn't enough on its own, so you end up turning the oven flame on and off for those really low temperature foods like fish. I let it get up to its full (minimum) temperature and then turn it off and just let it smoke for the rest of the time. Seems to work very well. It is a nice smoker for those of us that are just occasional fans of smoked foods.

 "Nice Fluff Reading" 2009-08-29
By AlySedai (NN, VA)
I'll be honest. I had owned this book for some time, but didn't pick it up to read it until the movie came out. I'm one of those people who refuses to see the movie if I haven't read the book.



I wasn't sure what to expect when I picked up the book. At first, the whole plot seems a little absurd. Here's a man who time travels around with seemingly no explanation, rhyme, or reason. But then the story got to me. And I got to thinking. It is more than just that. This is a love story (sure, at some points it borders on cheezy Harlequinesqe plot) that asks the question do we have any choice with whom we fall in love? When Henry first comes to Claire, he is so in love with her...and he basically pushes her toward being in love with him. But he is in his 40's and she is only 6. Then, in the future, Claire finally meets Henry...who has no idea who she is. And she is so deeply in love with him, that he cannot help but fall in love with her. It's an interesting paradox. They basically have zero choice in the matter of the relationship. I think that's one of the most interesting things about this book.



All in all, it is a good fluff read. If you enjoy a good love story, it's a great book to curl up with and read. It has an interesting story, lots of romance, and deals with some serious topics, if albeit very briefly. Sure, some of the characters could have been explored more in depth, and that probably would have made the book stronger. It is, however, a good read which doesn't require a whole lot of thought to get into...which, for a summer read, is perfect.

 "Entertaining but not a challenge" 2009-08-29
By Book Dork (Southern California)
The Time Traveler's Wife is the type of book you bring to the beach, the airport, or the doctor's office; entertaining but definitely not a literary challenge.



What Made Me Finish:

- The actual premise of the novel, time travel and how it connects two people throughout their lives, was interesting and unique.

- The skipping around through different time periods was fun and nostalgic.

- Niffenegger does a good job capturing and describing the emotions the characters feel during the various phases of their lives.

- While I do have issues with the writing, I will say that the author does use foreshadowing in an effective way. Certain events and situations are alluded to throughout the novel that make you want to continue reading in order to find out what really does happen.



Problems

- Every time the narration switches from Henry to Clare the author indicates this with a name heading. I found this very unnecessary; the reader should be perceptive enough to determine who's narrating by the style, tone, and events. I feel that she is writing "for the masses," assuming that the people who are reading aren't intelligent enough to figure this out. While this may be the case, let us all remember the Pygmalion Effect.

- The writing as a whole isn't impressive; descriptions often seemed forced, as does several instances of dialogue.

- At times certain elements of time travel became repetitive; I understand that Henry is naked every time he travels. I don't need to be told every time this happens that he is embarrassed, running around naked and trying to find clothes. It's a given.

- I felt that there should have been more attention paid to the idea and struggle of changing fate; it appeared to be an underlying theme in the novel when it probably should have been more prominent.



I appreciated the imagination that went into developing the plot and characters but was a little disappointed in the literary quality. I recommend it as a "fun book," perhaps sandwiched between some Dostoyevsky and DeLillo.

 "Neat concept but poor execution" 2009-08-29
By Amazon Buyer
I give this book kudos for being a page turner and for having a really neat concept done quite well. My problem with this book is that character development. The book coins itself as an epic love story, and yet I never really feel the love. The emotions and the reasons behind them do not seem very real. For this reason, I never really fell in love with the characters like I have in other "romance" novels like "The Notebook."



Pros: Very interesting concept

Cons: Poor character development

 "Review of The Time Traveler's Wife" 2009-08-29
By P. R. Lewis (Southeast LA, USA)
The format of the novel is that of reading journal entries for the two main characters, Henry and Clare. Since time travel is involved, the entries are listed giving the date and the age of the characters, however, not in chronological order. This provides the reader with a feel for the spontaneity of time travel. The novel is neither boring nor predictable. I found that the journalistic format allows the reader to develop a personal understanding and an attachment to the characters and to the unique situation they endure throughout their lives. Without giving the story away, I'll say that I enjoyed it immensely - it kept my interest, kept me reading long after I should have been asleep, and had me going through a full range of emotions. The characters had a deep love for one another, but I can't imagine trying to sustain a relationship under the hardship created by time traveling. All in all a very good book. Well-crafted writing; the author fills the book with detailed descriptions that create visions in the reader's mind. The author has given the timeworn idea of a romance novel a unique twist for the enjoyment of her readers. You won't go wrong with this book. It's a keeper.

 "Reads like a first draft" 2009-08-05
By Peter Wright (Portland, OR United States)
Paranoia reads like a first draft -- lacks polish and development, character, richness of setting. The result is a bland walk through the life of a jaded protagonist. There is fodder for a good tale here, though in this packaged it's severely underdeveloped. Like other reviewers, I found myself skimming faster and faster as I moved through the book, very disappointed in the overall experience.



Normally, I'd simply stop reading, and wouldn't give much time to writing in about books I don't enjoy. In this case, there appears to be a more systemic problem: The notion of the free download for the Kindle is suspect. That this book has been propelled to the top of the downloads list naturally is bunk, and further illustrates for me that the best sellers list is likely contaminated with publisher kickbacks.

 "Yes, yes, yes, super good read" 2009-08-05
By Gina K (PA, USA)
Come on folks, this Kindle book is for FREE and it is great! I laughed, I bit my nails. I read nonstop. The story starts off with a disgruntled cubicle dweller who decides to make a stand by hacking into the corporate account to fund a retirement party for the loading dock guy. Funny and immature, our hero is quickly caught and thrown into a "deal with the devil," his boss. Spy on a competitor or get turned in and go to jail. So off he goes, playing undercover employee in the competitor company. Can he pull off finding out the biggest secret the rivals have while trying to stay sane with a crazy father? And, he grows, in maturity, commitment, responsibility. Lots of suspenseful moments as he meanders his way through the new place only to land squarely at the top, as right hand guy to the big gun. Then, in another evolutionary step, his remaining shred of conscience kicks in and he decides that HE will start calling the shots....Won't spoil the story by giving away the ending, but after you read it, tell me...did you REALLY see it coming? Can't wait for a sequel.

 "Engrossing Corporate Thriller From Beginning to End!!" 2009-08-04
By Kevin Currie-Knight (Newark, Delaware)
I often have a hard time with thrillers. One reason for this is that most of the ones I've read tend to have very lackluster characters. Another reason is that too many thrillers I've read cross the line of believability and become so unreal that it becomes hard to take them seriously.



This is why I was pleasantly surprised by Joseph Finder's "Paranoia." The main character, reluctant corporate spy Adam Cassidy, is quite well drawn, as is his relationships to other characters. Needless to say, the plot is very well thought out and well paced. (This is "needless to say" because I understand that this is typical of Finder's novels). While this very complex tale of corporate espionage and con-artistry could have become over-the-top and unbelievable, Finder straddles the line well between being intriguing and still staying plausible.



What I liked best about Paranoia was Finder's ability to convey the main character's struggle with the divided loyalty of espionage. Who is Cassidy working for: the "former" boss who is blackmailing him into being a mole, or the "new" employer who he is spying on (but growing to like)? And can Adam Cassidy keep his stories straight when telling different people different things in order to avoid detection? The ending, while not entirely unforeseeable, is quite marvelous and strangely satisfying.



Paranoia is a top-notch thriller with unbelievable intensity. For a 484 pager, it moves suprisingly well. Quite simply, this is a book that any thriller fan (especially those who frantasize about the business world beyond cubicles and spreadsheets) should not miss!

 "Works okay...but it broke" 2009-05-27
By Zee Bee (Los Angeles, CA)
Well used it today for the first time. At first I looked at it I thought oh nice 'its made of cast iron' I was certain it would outlast my cheap bbq pro grill (got it for $50 on sale!).

Well I put in some wood chips (soaked in water for 30 mins, and tossed it in the 'Charbroil O2 Smoker' placed the smoker on my coals (I use lump charcoal - burns hotter, low ash, natural).



Anyway, I was cooking with the dome off, and the wood chips caught fire; I put the dome on and closed off the vents. After a 30 seconds smoke starts leaking out (indicates the fire is gone out) I lift the dome the fire starts up again and I hear a crack. Turns out the smoker broke in 2 pieces. Didnt expect that from cast iron, but for the 30 minute duration that it did work, it was great.



It most probably broke because of the intense heat from the chips catching on fire. So you should be fine if you can get rid of the flames quick enough.

 "Good Product Overall When Used Properly" 2008-07-21
By Robert M
The problems most people are having with this smoker are due to connecting an extension cord. I tried using a 25' 12 gage cord and the burner barely warmed up. Plugged in directly, it burned my finger. So if you don't have a good location close to an outlet, this one may not work well for you. Yes, drill a hole at the bottom of the unit for drainage and add a thermometer indicating degrees and smoke at 225 F or so. Another must is adding some kind of vent to the top of the lid. I pulled a baffle from a discarded BBQ unit, drilled some holes for ventilation and made myself an adjustable smoke ejector. If you do not do this, the food in my opinion gets way too smokey. If you get a sick feeling after eating over-smoked food, then this will solve your problem. Another thing others have done is drilled holes (I put in four) around the burner casing to allow air to be drawn up. This sets up a draft from bottom to top and out the holes you drilled for the vent and works quite well. If you use a 7/8" hole saw for these holes, you can always plug them with the electrical plugs used to seal junction boxes. The construction of the unit is quite heavy and has a quality feel to it. I also use a Brinkman charcoal smoker, but I like the idea of having tight temperature control and two cooking platforms.

 "Certainly a 'budget' smoker. " 2007-07-14
By T. Dennison
It seems you either see a "GREAT SMOKER" review with 5 stars, or a "THIS IS A HORRIBLE SMOKER" review with 1 star. Well, they're both wrong. I'm going to tell you the straight up truth about this smoker.



I bought it about a year ago and have used it, maybe, 10-12 times. I'll be honest, if I had better results, I would have used it much more. The truth is, the thermostat did burn out on mine after about 6-7 uses. Not short out, burn out. It melted the plastic surrounding, and just couldn't take the heat the heating element puts out. I used another thermostat from one of our other kitchen appliances, got about another 5-6 uses out of that, and the same thing happened. With both of these, the inside temp never got above 210 (the thermostat dial turned up to the max), which was a tiny bit lower than I wanted for smoking purposes.



The reviews about using a heavy duty (low gauge like 14-15) extension cord are ABSOLUTELY correct! I read them recently, tried it, and sure enough, I got about 250-260 degrees heat, the coils were bright red, and I had to turn down the thermostat (a new one) dial to achieve my desired 220 smoking temp.



Bottom line: it's a cheap smoker, that's why you bought it cheap, and you shouldn't expect high grade smoking quality barbeque. If I had the chance again, I'd probably spend an extra 50-100 bucks and get a more reliable smoker. Good luck. And go to H.D., buy a $6 temperature gauge (one with the degrees included), drill a small hole in the top of the lid and bolt it in. The temp gauge it comes with is horrible, without degrees, and completely unreliable.

 "Dangerous element, dangerous information" 2007-05-17
By BilHerd (Blackwood, NJ USA)
The heating element was shorted to the bracket, literally inside the element. Casual observation looked like the material that holds and insulated the conductor broke down allowing contact with the edge/bracket. When I spoke with Charbroil they asked if I used an extension cord, in a couple of cases I used my good heavy duty 14 gauge cord.



The rep assured me that that was the problem, I must use a 16awg cord, which is smaller (worse) then what I used. She also assured me that they wouldn't cover the unit if a better cord was used, because it gets "power". I then asked if I could plug it straight in to the outlet to which they replied "yes". I tried to relate that a better cord is more like plugging directly in to the outlet, "on no, it needs to be a 16guage orange extension cord."



Guess I will shop for a new unit rather than fix one that requires the use of an extension cord as a voltage dropping device.

 "Fantastic smoker" 2009-07-13
By Timothy Lam (Temple City, CA United States)
I wanted to get an electric smoker because I really don't have the time or patience to attend to a charcoal or propane smoker. This smoker uses an advanced light bulb to regulate heat. There is a sliding switch that increases the power to the bulb thus raising the temp. I found this a bit cumbersome because you cannot tell what the temperature will be so you have to guess and monitor, you cant mark the temps either because other factors will affect the heat element as well, such as the smoke damper open or closed and the outside temperature. So much for my lack of attention.



The best part of the smoker is the automated delivery of wood pucks that you have to buy, they are expensive but work wonderfully. Besides the wood pucks you don't have to worry about ashes floating up on to your meat. They get pushed into a bowl of water that you place into the smoker, which comes with the unit.



The company has a great online forum where you can ask questions and get quick answers from other owners, they share recipes and advice. My first 3 recipes where chicken, ribs and brisket. The chicken and ribs where very good and the brisket was ok. The issue was the operator, I just got to do a better job of temperature control, the temperature does stay steady once you dial it in.

 "Bradley Smoker Original - Stainless Steel" 2009-01-11
By Joni Smith (Newark, Delaware)
I purchased the Bradley Smoker as a Christmas present for my husband. I believe he had hoped for a "bullet type" smoker becuase he thought an electric smoker was not going to provide the results he wanted. After using it once, my husband is addicted to smoking on this grill! Seriously. It truly is a "set and forget" type grill. Since opening the box 3 weeks ago, we have smoked ribs 3 times, a pork roast once, and the famous buffalo atomic turds that you read about on the Bradley Forums. Everthing we make is great. Take advantage of the Bradley Forums you can find on the internet. When my husband is not using the Bradley, he is on the forums learning from other people. This is a unit that can be taken with you anywhere. LOVE IT!

 "Very nice for true low & slow smoking" 2008-07-15
By GSM (Boston Area)
This unit really does a great job with providing a steady temperature all day long which you need to do real smoking. Anything with charcoal like the Weber another reviewer mentioned requires lots of attention. This device can run all day with a minimum of fuss. The digital temperature model is also nice although more money. The smoker wood pucks are about $15 for 50 or so and I rarely use more than 8 or 10 for a turkey or brisket.



Capacity is pretty generous. Again, not sure what the other reviewer was talking about. I've done 20+ lb turkeys, 2 12lb briskets, etc.



The only reason I didn't give this unit 5 stars is that the puck feeding mechanism can be finicky. If a lot of wood flakes or dirt get into the mechanism it can create problems with automatically feeding the pucks onto the smoking plate. That said, when my unit had that problem after a couple of years I found it straightforward to take the feeder apart and clean and lubricate where appropriate.



I store my unit outside year round and the optional cover makes that possible.

 "Holy smokes!" 2007-10-27
By Bass Cadet (California)
I have a Weber grill with a smoker box. It's OK for giving a smoke flavor, but not really suited for serious smoking. For real smoking, this is it. Bradley's ingenious system produces great flavor with minimal attention. Since adding a Proportional/Integral/Derivative (PID) controller (see [...]), I've just set the temperature, loaded the smoker and generator, and walked away. I have yet to make anything bad in it and have used it almost every weekend since I've bought it.



As far as models, the Original Bradley Smoker (OBS) is OK but I prefer the stainless steel look (BSS). The digital models (DBS) have more control out of the box, but you can build or buy an external controller, such as the PID, if better temperature control is desired. Lots of people are happy with the simple slider in the OBS or BSS models. Whichever model you choose, you won't go wrong with a Bradley smoker.

 "Easy and somewhat simple...." 2009-03-25
By Jay
I have had this unit for a little over 2 years now and I have used it at least 50 or more times. It is very easy to set up. You have three "plugs". One is a chord that runs from the smoker box to the smoker. Then another plug that does the same. Finally you have the plug that powers the unit. Simple. Inside you find the bowl that holds water, obviously 6 racks, drip tray...normal stuff. Some people debate on this or the 4 rack version. Go bigger every time when it comes to bbq. You might say you would never use it but you are wrong. Every time I am invited to a get together I am always asked to smoke something. People buy the meat, I do the prep and the cooking. Just did 2 12lb turkeys on Sunday. By the way, 2 12lb turkeys fit perfectly. I have done 4 8lb pork shoulders as well. No problems.



Another nice thing about this smoker is the ability to cold smoke. Though some mods need to be done before you can do, or you need to live in a cold area, but cold smoking cheese is great. Every winter I smoke enough cheese to put WI to shame.



The instructions are easy to follow for the most part. I did months of research before I bought this so I was well prepared for what I was getting into. If you can't find the answer in the directions go to the bradley forum, those guys over there are the best at helping you out.



The negatives about this smoker, as one reviewer already pointed out, the temp is ungodly wrong. I bought a nice double, wireless, thermometer. Absolutely essential for smoking, no matter what smoker you have. This thing tells me what the temp of the smoker and the meat is, as well as alarms that I can set. So if my smoker drops to a very low temp, say below 100 degrees, an alarm will go off. This is good in case the unit becomes unplugged, or you and your buddies have had a few too many and forgot to reset the cooker timer. (By the way, 10 hours is plenty of time. No, meat is usually not done by then, but within 10 hours you are guaranteed to walk outside and check on your smoker at least once) The other problem I have with the temp is the lack of an extremely high temp. To get a good bark on a Boston butt sometimes requires a temp of over 300. That can be a problem with the bradley. Poultry skin comes out crispy either way, and shoulders are perfect, sometimes I just want a little more. Other than the temp, this thing is perfect.



I love this unit. If you have been using wood smokers, water smokers, vertical smokers, offset smokers, your old bbq as a smoker (which I have used all of these)....whatever, this unit will be a welcomed, headache free, addition.

 "Great food!" 2008-12-18
By Grace Conner (East Brookfield, MA)
What a sweet product. The "Set it and Forget it" technology it great, no more checking the pan to see how your chips are doing. Perfectly smokes your food, does not over cook (unless you program it to). Have done sausage, salmon and even cheese. Great! Up next, whole turkeys for the holidays, can't wait!

Completely satisfied with this product. The only problem I had was with the shipping. There was a slight dent in the cabinet caused in the shipping of this.

 "I own both and love them " 2007-10-08
By David Siegele (Cambria Ca.)
I had just bought the four rack smoker and came to the realization that I should have bought the six rack. I like the idea of the digital smoker as I can set it and go away or to bed for that matter and not have to worry if I am over heating and burning food. I would say both units are good. but if you are only smoking once or twice a month the manual unit is fine but daily like I do spend the extra money

 "Buy the Original Model" 2006-10-28
By Hadlock
I just received this machine. I owned an original Bradley Smoker that gave up the ghost. When I saw the digital one for sale I thought that it would be more precise and a "set and forget" solution to smoking. I have tried it four times now and have discovered that the temperature variation on the unit is as much as 28 degrees over the set point and as much as 16 below the set point for a temp swing of 44 degrees. It turns out that Bradley has a forum for owners and those interested (look at their web site). Quite a number of new owners have been dismayed and disappointed in the temp swing on this unit. When I called Bradley they just said "that's the way it is with this unit" and told me it is similar to my house oven. I doubt that my home ever varies that much. The cycle time for this variation is 15-20 minutes so the food is never at the set point for very long. I don't recall swings like this with my old one.



If you look carefully at what you get for the hefty premium, it is not much. The basic unit has the automatic biscuit feed and when its out of biscuits there is no more smoke so the smoke timer on the new one means nothing. The timer on the cooking side has a time limit according to the Bradley owners so you can't leave it more than ten hours without going out and resetting it. The temperature control is not reliable so what do you get for the extra bucks. Not much to my way of thinking.



By the way, look at the photo carefully. This unit is not aluminum. It has a door that is painted an aluminum color and the body is black. I have to say that the fit and finish is very nice on the unit.



My advice is buy the original model and save yourself the extra bucks.
