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

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

been left by the burning process.

5
•Clean the Damper (at the top of the
Smoker) to ensure it is not stuck.
•Wipe the Door Seal with warm water
and dish detergent to remove any
leftover residues and food particles.
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.
If you need further advice, please call our Customer Service (1-866-508-7514).

Optimum use of your Bradley Smoker
1. Bradley Smokers are made to cook low and slow. Take your time and plan ahead as
your smoker was designed to smoke slowly at a low temperature. By using this method,
you will end up with a better taste and aroma.
2. Do not overfill your racks – always leave space to allow for constant airflow, otherwise
your smoke will be trapped and won’t circulate through the entirety of your unit.
3. To evenly cook or smoke food it is recommended to rotate racks up and down and
front to back.
4. Smoking times and temperature will vary based on the following conditions:
a) Ambient air temperature
b) Amount of product in the smoker
c) Internal temperature of whatever you’re smoking
d) Displayed temperature readings are for reference only
5. NEVER fully close your smoker vent.
6. Empty and refill your water bowl every 2 hours
7. When cooking or smoking foods that are heavy with grease and fat, please place the pie
plate or bowl directly under the food to catch as much of the rendering as possible. This
will help to keep your Bradley Smoker clean and will extend the life of your smoker. It
will also help to prevent the possibility of a grease fire.
8. Always keep your smoker clean to increase the longevity of your unit.
Note: Meat probes cables are not dishwasher safe. Do not submerge the cables or
connecting ends into water or liquid of any sort, this will permanently damage them.

Operating Guidelines
For The Bradley Smart Smoker® with iSmoke Technology® Model BS 916 and BS 916 CE
Refer to Part Numbers in External Components List Page 17.
Seasoning &PreparationFor Use
Ideal ambient operating temperature range
for your Bradley Smoker is between 4°C
to21°C (40°F to 70°F). Extreme
temperatures lower or higher will affect
the performance and outcome ofthefood.
Do not store in freezing temperatures.
Seasoning Method
Seasoning the Bradley Smoker® is an
ongoing process, the more you use it, the
better tasting your foods will be.
• Clean Racks, Bisquette Cover, Drip Bowl
and rectangular Tray and place in smoker.
•Fill the Drip Bowl 3/4 full of water.
•Load the Feeder Tube with 5 Bisquettes.
The 2 extra Bisquettes are to push the final
Bisquette onto the Burner. The last 2
Bisquettes will not advance to the Burner.
• Note: each Bisquette burns for 20 minutes.
•Open the Damper at the top of the
Smoker Tower.
•Plug smoker into its own designated
outlet.
•Turn on the Smoke Generator by
pressing the Generator On/Off Button
(Page 21).
•Pre-heat Bisquette Burner for 20 minutes.
•Press Bisquette Advance Button until a
bisquette is on the Bisquette Burner (E).
•Turn on the smoker (Page 22)and set the
temperature to medium about 66°C
(150°F). Wait for 20 to 30 minutes.
•Smoke the tower continuously at 66°C
(150°F) for 1 hour, or until Bisquettes are
out.
•Your Smoker will be seasoned having
reached 66°C (150°F) and having produced
smoke for 1 hour.
Getting Started
•After seasoning the smoker, refill the Drip
Bowl 3/4 of water.
•Turn on the Smoke Generator by
pressing the Generator On/Off button.
This pre-heats the Bisquette Burner.
•Press the Bisquette Advance Button to
push a Bisquette onto the Bisquette burner
(E).
Note: After the advance button has been
pressed, a new cycle will start, (or) in
approximately 20 minutes the next Bisquette
will advance.
•Preheat oven to the desired temperature
you want to cook at. Place your food onto
the cooking racks and load them into the
smoker.
•Set the damper at the desired opening.
Do not close the damper all the way when
the smoke is running, as this could damage
the smoke generator
•You may need to adjust the oven
temperature to reach the desired set point.
Note: The actual temperature is the air
temperature inside the tower. To get a more
accurate temperature of the food being
smoked, use supplied meat probes (12). Keep
in mind that the ambient temperature will
affect the cooking temperature of the smoker.
Remember to clean your smoker after
each use.
