Bradley Smoker Bradley 4 Rack Digital Smoker - Silver

I don't write a lot of reviews, but when a product either disappoints or exceeds my expectations I like to post a note to help others along.This smoker falls into the latter category - exceeds expectations.I was not sure what to expect, paying a premium price for a digitally controlled smoker was a bit worrying for me because I have had good results with less expensive smoker in the past. Sadly my old brand of smoker is not offered in a 240 Volt 50hz for the UK so I was happy to find this product.My main concern was whether the construction of the unit was good enough to warrant the high price. It is. Let me explain:1. The body of the smoker, the main chamber, is constructed of sturdy metal exterior surrounding an insulated polished steel lined interior.2. There are 4 slides for racks (4 included), a polished heat shield, and ash/drip pans below. If you are smoking thin (2 inches or less thickness) fish fillets or meats you can buy an additional set of racks and reversing one above the other you effectively have an 8 rack smoker with each rack having an effective area of 11x14 inches.3. The door is hinged, and the door seals well against the body of the smoker. (refrigerator or oven type seal around the door frame)4. The smoke generator controls are reasonably easy, and allow separate control of the smoke duration and chamber temperature.Unpacking and Assembly was easy, and the instructions were fine (text only, but this was ok as it is NOT complicated). Electrical connections for mains power, oven, and temperature sensor all clear. The drip tray/heat shield was a bit fiddly to get in (tight fit) but just took a couple attempts to sort out.Time will tell if it holds up well under use, but my expectations remain high after having owned for a only a short while! The only reason for 4 stars and not 5 - The last star is for value for money, and I am waiting to make all my favourite recipes. If they are better in this smoker than in my last one I will happily edit to reflect 5 stars.

Received my smoker just over a week ago and have used it 3 times already. Simple to put together, easy to use ....and the food tastes great! Only thing I would say to anyone buying this is a good quality digital thermometer is a must and if you can get one that goes to either a phone/tablet or can be read remotely even better as opening the door drops the temperature like a stone. Looking forward to many more smoking experiences including cold smoking some cheddar!
