It is six years since the Bradley Smoker first arrived in the UK. From small beginnings, Bradley Smokers are now recognised as the smoker of choice for users with a wide range of food smoking specialist interests.
Interest in cooking and entertaining outdoors has risen significantly over those years. If we look to the origins of the Bradley Smoker -to the Canadian west coast province of British Columbia, home of Bradley Technologies, it is the North American tradition of smoke barbecuing that first brought the Bradley Smoker to the market. Barbecue meals with the flavour of smoke are commonplace throughout North America. The Bradley Smoker took smoke barbecuing to a new
level by bringing control, convenience and repeatability to what had always been an ‘out in the garden’ affair.
However, for the sake of a smoking pun, in the UK, our love affair with barbecuing runs hot and cold! Are we to be convinced that, this summer we will be eating outdoors at every opportunity? Would we do so more often now that we are equipped with a barbecue smoker as good as the Bradley Smoker? Well we might, and perhaps we should, but we need not allow our enthusiasm for outdoor entertaining to dictate our ownership of a Bradley Smoker. For in the UK, the range of uses and users of Bradley Smokers have proved to be many and various. From smoked mackerel on the beach, traditional cold smoked salmon, through smoked meats: bacon ham and more adventurous excursions into smoked game, Plus of course smoked cheese, as well as exciting new recipes for smoked vegetables and even fruit!
The Bradley Smoker is truly a smoker for all seasons, and it has hit a chord with all those specialist users who ever wanted a simple and
reliable way to smoke food. Take a look at the specialist users listed to the right. But as is often the case a specialist user in one field,
may be an occasional user in another area. If you thought you needed a Bradley Smoker because you cure your own bacon, there is nothing to stop you creating a home smoked side of salmon for Christmas, and for casual summer barbecues the Bradley will produce quick and spectacular results. |

one of the less well known smoking woods for example apple or cherry. Hams are also smoked successfully on butchers premises and some butchers are venturing into hot smoked produce for example smoked chicken and duck.
