Cooking tips
I put my meat into the smoker and I am not getting up to temperature fast enough.
Bradley Smokers are made to cook low and slow.
Take your time and plan ahead, with time for preheating, as your smoker was designed to
smoke slowly at a low temperature.
Which factors can slow down the temperature from reaching the target point?
The amount of meat you putting into the smoker affects the time and target temperature
setting.
The initial temperature of the meat affects the time and target temperature setting.
The outside temperature affects the time and target temperature setting.
The damper may be letting in too much cool air. Try closing the damper slightly and protect the
smoker from the wind.
Why are the bottom racks getting done faster than racks at the top?
The internal temperature will be higher closer to the heating element.
To evenly cook or smoke food it is recommended to rotate racks up and down, and front to
back.
Do not overfill your racks –always leave space to allow for constant airflow, otherwise your
smoke and heat will be trapped and won’t circulate through the whole unit.
My generator started leaking smoke. What do I need to do?
NEVER fully close your smoker vent, as it will damage your generator.
Open your vent slightly; this will generate upward draft.
My smoker is up to the temperature, but my food is not done. Why is this?
Oven temperature on the generator screen and on the app screen is for reference only.
Use internal food probes to get accurate temperatures of desired targets.
Bisquettes are turning into ashes in the drip bowl. Why?
The bisquettes are hot and continue to burn for a short time without the burner.
Always empty the drip bowl of old bisquettes, and refill it with fresh water every 2 hours.
