Pro-Smoker is about the best for making Sausages and drying Jerky. These smokers move a lot of air to dry and cook sausage. Remember the art of making great sausage is to remove all the moisture and leave all the fat. I would put up a Pro Smoker up against any house and you would be amazed at the difference in how they cook sausage. We sell them and also Cabelas sells them but I think they are order only from Cabelas. We have them in stock all the time, as well as replacement parts and supplies.

I have 2 bradley smokers and I love them.Theres no need to open the smoker once you start smoking something so your not constantly losing heat, everythings automatically fed into it from the outside.

Theres no wild temperature variations while cooking.No flame or hot coals means if Im smoking in the winter I can bring it right into the porch and use it without constantly watching it.Handy when Im doing pulled pork or something that needs to cook overnight.Also handy for items that need to cook at very low temps as you dont have temperature spikes.Can also be set up for cold smoking (havent done this yet}.

Downside is the bisquettes are spendy, and at times it would be nice to have more room in it.Ive screwed around with other charcoal, electric, and gas smokers in the past and this is by far my favorite.I will admitt though in the last few years theres been some other models that have come out I would love to play with.

I have a Bradley too and love it, my Bradley will not go above 250 degrees but when I use it I'm smoking at 225 so not going above 250 is no big deal. Hope this helps.

I have one,it works fine in the summer, but can't get the heat up in the winter months. I got a gas one and use it for the winter smoking duties. Looks like I,m just 30 miles from where you live.so I'd go with a gas one if you are going to use it during the winter months

Master build 30" or 40" electric is set it and forget it. I got the 30" and would like to update to the 40" for more room.

With the a-maze-n smoker i can run for 6 to 8 hours of smoke and never have to worry about temps.

If I am on a longer smoke I can refill the A-maze-n with sawdust and off we go again.

Just did a Boston Butt this weekend for a neighbor and I was only there for the beginning then off to bed about an hour of the middle (recharge the sawdust and check the temp of the meat) and the end of the smoke last hour to get it done. Came out perfect.

Where do you have yours during the winter months?
I have the OBS and have no issue using mine even in the coldest midwestern day...mine is in the garage out of the wind. Keep the drip tray clean and the water bowl full and I have no problems.
Wildlife what did you decide on?

Some of the people here own more than just the Bradley.
