Seasoning & Preparation
For Use
Seasoning the Bradley Smoker® is an ongoing
process, the more you use it, the better tasting
your foods will be.
Seasoning is mainly to remove the impartial
smells from your smoker. The smell of your new
Bradley Smoker® is not necessarily how you
want your food to taste.
Seasoning Method:
• Clean Racks, Drip Tray, Drip Bowl and
Rectangular Tray and place in smoker.
• Fill the Drip Bowl half full of water.
• Load the Feeder Tube with 5 Bisquettes.
(note: each Bisquette burns for 20 minutes).
The 2 extra Bisquettes are meant to push the
final Bisquette onto the Burner. These last 2
Bisquettes will not advance onto the Burner.
• Open the damper slightly 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 Switch (12).
• Press Bisquette Advance Button (6) until a
bisquette is on the Bisquette Burner (F).
• Turn on the smoker by moving the temperature
heat control switch (10) to medium. Wait for
10 minutes. The thermometer (9) should
read 66°C (150°F). If it is higher, bring
down the temperature by adjusting the
temperature heat control switch to the left to
lower and vice versa when the temperature
reads lower than 66°C (150°F).
• Smoke the tower continuously at 66°C
(150°F) for 1 hour, or until bisquettes are out.
• Your Smoker will be seasoned having reached
150º F and smoked in for 1 hour.
Getting Started
•After seasoning the smoker, refill the Drip
Bowl half full of water.
• Turn on the Smoke Generator by pressing
the Generator On/Off switch (12).
• When the Smoker Generator indicator
light (5) is on, this means the Generator has
power.
• Press the bisquette advance button (6) to
push a Bisquette onto the Bisquette burner (F).
Note: After the advance button has been
pressed, a new cycle will start, (or) in
approximately 20 minutes the next bisquette
will advance.
•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.
• If heat is required, slowly move the heat
switch to the desired temperature, as per the
thermometer.
Cold Smoke
‑ use the smoke generator
only. Unplug the Short Jumper Cord.
Hot Smoke
‑ the smoke generator and
temperature heat control switch will be on.
Note: The thermometer will only read the
air temperature inside the tower. To get a
more accurate temperature of the food
being smoked, use a meat thermometer.
Keep in mind that the ambient temperature
will affect the cooking temperature of the
smoker.
“ Remember to clean your smoker after
each use.”
