Product details:
The insulated, self-generated Bradley Smokers are fed by ‘bisquettes’, which the user inserts into a feeding tube attached to the smoke generator.
Each bisquette burns for 20 minutes and then drops into a water bowl, eliminating gasses, acids and resins which can often distort the flavour of smoked food.
The spent bisquettes are then automatically replaced and once the last inserted brisquette is used, the smoke generator stops.
USP:
The Bradley Smoker makes ‘clean tasting’ food without any aftertaste. While other smokers need to be constantly tended, the Bradley Smoker will function, without any need for monitoring, for up to eight hours.
The smoke generated by the smoke generator carries only minimal heat. Therefore, when hot smoking is required, an independently controlled internal heating element can be set to any temperature up to a maximum of 160°C. This function also allows the smoking chamber to double up as a slow cooker or slow roasting oven.
Conversely, when truly cold smoke is required, the Cold Smoking Adaptor can be fitted. This distances the smoke generator from the smoking chamber and allows the smoke to cool to an ambient temperature.
Cost:
Prices start at just £299.99 for the Original Smoker, ranging up to £459.98 for the 6-Rack Digital Smoker (inc. VAT).
