Tom Douglas by Pinzon Metal Grill Smoker Box Review

I'm a Texan (Texaswomyn, right?) so I love smoked meat. Brisket, chicken, ribs, pork chops, beef roast, etc. We've got smokers: two big 'ole charcoal smokers, a big 'ole propane/electric smoker, and I've even got one of them Cameron stove top smokers, (I'm gonna drop the bad grammar now) so I was quite curious about this smoker accessory. First off, it's small. I mean, Rhode Island small. It's about 6 inches long, 3 inches wide and maybe 1.5 inches tall, so the wood you use to smoke with has to be chipped up very small and it doesn't hold a lot; I didn't weigh or measure what it holds but it's probably not over a cup of chips. One big problem is that small quantity of wood doesn't last long enough to provide a good "smoke" flavor and create that highly desired smoke ring on meat.
If your only desire is for a hint of smoke to mask the charcoal (and heaven forbid - charcoal lighter fluid) taste from your grilled steak or chicken breast, then this little box will do that, to a small degree. Be sure you soak the wood first so it lasts a little longer and smokes a little more.
And hey, Rhode Island - no offense, OK ya'll?

Bradley Smoke Generator with Adapter Review

I got one of these to automate my smoking process.
As a quick set up, I mounted mine on a smoker/grill I already had that got little use.
Now it is my smoker for cold smoking Salmon and Chicken breasts.
It did get sticky once so far, and I had to take it apart and clean it up to make it work properly again.
If not for that, I would have given it 5 stars.
I got a large package of my favorite, Hickory, wood pucks for my runs with it.Bradley Hickory Bisquettes 120 pack
It goes 20 minutes and feeds a new disk onto the burner. I have a large pan that was a part of the original smoker/grill that catches the used puck so they can finish smoldering, if anything is left.
I find it very easy to load it for a nice 8 hour run and just look out now and then to see the smoke wafting away that tells me it's working.
The salmon I smoke in it comes out delicious!
I use the frozen salmon portions we get at our local Costco. They are flash frozen Atlantic salmon and individually sealed in vacuum packed plastic.
I've smoked cod, and yellowtail, as well.
The Cod I made some Smoked Fish Dip for a Family gathering at my Baby Sis' house and it got rave reviews. So did the 2 pounds of Smoked Almonds I did at the same time in the smoker.
(My "dip" came out more like a "Pate" though. But still, they loved it!)
So easy with the Bradley smoke generator!
I've had or built my own smokers for 40+ years, but this smoke generator is the cats meow.

Bradley BCOLD Smoker Cold Smoke Adapter Review

Cold smoker is a Bradley attachment that takes the place of cardboard boxes and many other configurations set up by Bradley Smoker users. Box is made from heavy steel and has convenient door for water tray. Connects well without much leaking to generator and cabinet. Included is a resistor that allows the generator to be disconnected from the cabinet when using the digital model. The hose (duct) could be a bit heavier. It is pretty fragile but does bend without any problem. You just need to be careful while bending or you'll kink it. Does not appear to be standard dryer vent hose. It's about 1/4" bigger to accommodate the end plates. I would give it five stars with a better duct.

The Bradley Cold Smoke Adapter moves the bisquettes burner outside of the smoke box, allowing you to turn any Bradley Smoker into a true cold smoker. Now you can smoke cheese anytime, and Norwegian-style smoked fish is easier than ever to make.
