The Bradley Smoker is a unique smoke house, complete with its accompanying smoke generator, in which flavour bisquettes are burned for 20 minutes each so that the temperature does not fluctuate. This eliminates high temperature gases, acids and resins that can distort the flavour of smoked food. Bradley Smokers makes clean tasting food without any aftertaste. While other smokers need to be tended constantly, the Bradley Smoker automatically produces clean, cool smoke for up to 9 hours safely and without intervention. As with the Original model, Bradley Digital Smokers are capable of both hot and cold smoking: In fact they do a remarkably fine job of cold smoking due to the sustained and controllable way in which the smoke is generated. For cold smoking use of the Cold Smoke Adaptor is recommended. The bisquette consumables are burned on top of an electric element; read more about bisquettes and the process of smoke generation in Bradley Smokers. For hot smoking, the heat for cooking is generated by the independentally controlled electrical element. This is a separate element from the bisquette burner. On the digital models, control of the cabinet temperature, is via the programmable panel on the front of the Smoke Generator.
