At Le Gargantua, we use the Bradley Digital Smoker to smoke salmon, trout, mackerel, sausages, bacon, etc...

The quality of their products, the uncomplicated use and maintenance made conquered us at the very first use. Most importantly, the results are spectacular! No shop-bought smoked produce ever matched what we prepared ourselves in the Bradley smoker.

We genuinely recommend the whole Bradley range without the slightest hesitation and hope you get smoking too!

THE ORIGINAL BRADLEY SMOKER

The Bradley Smoker is a unique smoke house sold complete with its accompanying smoke generator in which flavour bisquettes are burned for 20 minutes each so that the temperature does not fluctuate, thus eliminating the high temperature gases, acids and resins that can distort the flavour of smoked food.

It is light enough to carry and is about the size of a small fridge.

The Bradley Smoker 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 8 hours safely and without intervention.

 

Additionally, using the independently controlled internal heating element the Bradley Smoker will also hot smoke, or may be used simply as a slow cooker or slow roasting oven.

The low temperature cooking environment is perfect for any smoking project and the infra red heater source is also particularly well- suited for drying fruits.


 

THE DIGITAL BRADLEY SMOKER

Smoking enthusiasts who want even finer control over the smoking process will love the latest additions to the Bradley Smoker product range. Two new Bradley Smoker models with digital programming to control the cabinet temperature, the cooking time, plus a separate control for the, length of smoking time.

The essential difference between the two models is the capacity. The four rack model (BTDS76CE) has a capacity of 76 litres. The six rack model (BTDS108CE) has a massive capacity of 108 litres.

The front exterior of both models has a painted brushed stainless steel look, the internal surfaces are in stainless steel. As with the Original Bradley Smoker the cabinets are insulated.

The smokers use the automatic Bradley Bisquette feed system, are supplied with a recipe book and cooking instructions, maintenance and operating manual, and are covered by a one year warranty.

The Bradley extra racks and jerky racks will fit these new models as well as the original and Stainless Steel models.

THE BRADLEY SMOKE GENERATOR

The Bradley Smoke Generator is a highly adaptable unit that allows you to retrofit almost any small structure into a smoke house. The unit consists of two parts. The Smoke Generator is identical to that which is supplied with the Stainless Steel Smoker. However , where the lugs would attach to the cabinet, they instead attach to the face plate of the Adaptor,which is also made of stainless steel.
 

The picture shows the Smoke Generator lugged onto the face-plate of the Adaptor, and the adjustable Adaptor Collar can also be seen. When fitted, the wall of the smoke-house structure fits between the faceplate and the collar and is intended to remain in place permanently while the Smoke Generator can be easily attached or removed when not in use. 
 

The unit uses Bradley Flavour Bisquettes.

An ideal structure might be an old chest freezer, stood upright, the lid for the door, with an 11 cm hole in the side for the adaptor.

A blueprint to build your own smokehouse is included with the unit and can be viewed in pdf format.

This product won the coveted Vesta Award in 2003

THE BRADLEY FLAVOUR BISQUETTES

The secret to the Bradley Smoker is the Bradley Flavour Bisquettes ®. To produce the bisquettes, the hardwood chippings are bound together using precise quantities, at controlled pressures and densities. The flavour of the smoke is determined by the variety of wood being burned.

- Alder and maple give a rich and distinct flavour commonly used with seafood hams and bacon.
- The stronger and very distinct flavours of mesquite and hickory are commonly used for smoking beef and pork products such as pork shoulders and beef brisket.
- Apple and cherry impart a sweeter, milder smoke flavour, commonly used with poultry and wild game meat.
 

The Bradley Smoker burns a flavour bisquette once every 20 minutes producing a clean smoke flavour. As each is burnt, it is gently pushed from the burner element by the next bisquette, to be extinguished in the pot of water. The cycle continues for as long as the Bradley Smoker is loaded with bisquettes.
 

When wood burns the smoke flavour is produced in the initial minutes of the burn. Once the wood generates enough heat to keep burning on its own, it yields high temperatures, acids, resins and gases. These will distort the flavour and the appearance of smoked food. When wood burns to this stage there is no control over the cooking conditions. With Bradley Flavour Bisquettes the guesswork is eliminated.

Not only do Bradley Flavour Bisquettes eliminate unwanted heat, smoke produced the Bradley way is four times cleaner than smoke produced by identical loose chips burned in a fry-pan or burn-box.

The Bradley Smoker consumes bisquettes at the rate of approximately one every 20 minutes. Operating costs of the smoker are therefore less than a pound (£ GBP) per hour

Flavours: Alder, Apple, Cherry, Hickory, Maple, Mesquite, Oak, Pecan and Special Blend.
