Bradley BTIS1 Original Smoker Review
The Bradley BTIS1 original smoker enables cooks and chefs to infuse foods such as vegetables, fish, meat and cheese with unique flavors, the flavor of your food is determined by what variety of bisquette you decide to use with the smoker. The Bradley range has become very popular amongst people who enjoy smoking their food and the original smoker is still a very popular choice, the smoker is very easy to operate and has four racks enabling you to smoke a fair amount of food all at once.
If you’ve never tried smoking food in this fashion you should be in for a pleasant surprise, during times when you’re feeling lazy and don’t want to check on the food you’re cooking you’ll definitely appreciate the smoker as it takes less time and effort to set up than many types of barbecue or grill. You can marinade your food prior to smoking it if you want to add your own special flavor, when it’s ready place it in the smoker and then come back in a few hours and it’s ready to eat.
The BTIS1 Bradley Smoker has a 500-watt heating element and can reach temperatures up to 320 degrees Fahrenheit, the smoker also has a thermometer for monitoring its temperature and this is built into the door so you can check it at a glance. You can leave the BTIS1 running for up to eight hours without having to tend to it and it is capable of producing either hot or cold smoke, the smoker box is quite light at 40lbs so you can move it around when necessary without too much effort.
Initially before cooking food in the smoker Bradley recommend that you put it through a seasoning process, this is so you get the best results and flavor when cooking food with it for the first time. Due to the smokers design there’s very little for you to monitor during the cooking process, you can load multiple wood bisquettes into the smoker and it will automatically position each one over its bisquette burner every twenty minutes.
Smoked venison, maple glazed ham and oak smoked salmon are just a fraction of culinary extravagances you can expect to make in the smoker, if you like experimenting with smoky flavors you’ll appreciate the fact that there are at least 8 varieties of wood bisquette you can use with it, some of the bisquette varieties you can use for smoking your food include maple, hickory, mesquite and pecan.
To get you up and running the smoker includes a user guide and a recipe booklet for you to test your culinary skills, the BTIS1 has a switch positioned at the front for setting its cooking temperature and a button for advancing the bisquettes, once you have the Bradley up and running all you really need to do is resist opening its door when you get a waft of your foods aroma.
