From inception Bradley Smokers have always produced first class results when cold smoking. Users have employed a variety of techniques to minimise the temperature inside the smoking cabinets and the best method has always been a keenly discussed topic on the Bradley Smoker Users Forum. With the introduction of the Bradley Cold Smoke Adaptor, as an accessory to the Bradley product range, cold smoking has never been simpler!

The Cold Smoke Adaptor has been designed to remove the smoke generator out of the smoke cabinet and feed the smoke through a flexible aluminium tube into the side of the cabinet . Because the bisquette heater no longer sits within the insulated smoking cabinet , the minimal amount of heat it produces is dissipated outwith the smoking cabinet which remains at or around the ambient temperature. 

The cold smoking adaptor can be used with all four models of Bradley Smoker that use smoke cabinets. It comes with full instructions.  Recipes for Cold Smoking are included at the Recipe Section.

If you are keen to build your own home smokehouse and need a reliable source of good clean continuous smoke then the Bradley Smoke Generator with Adaptor is the perfect solution.

We are used to seeing our smoke generators adapted into all types of structures; from old refrigerators, tea chests and disused outdoor brick conveniences. Information on one of the better looking solutions was recently sent to us by David Geary-Aston from his website oakbarrel-furniture.co.uk , where more pictures can be seen.

David adapts old oak barrels into especially good looking small backyard smoke houses. He is thrilled with the quality achieved by using the Bradley Smoke Generator product. Not only does his product look good but it does the job too!

Smokin’ aces: The portable backyard smoker of my dreams …

So ran the strapline to the article written by Tom Parker Bowles in the Mail on Sunday Live Magazine
on Sunday 27th July 08 (full article) in which he devotes his weekly article to enthusing about the Bradley Smoker.

As chance would have it the Bradley UK team were that day exhibiting at the CLA Game Fair at Blenheim Palace. “What makes this smoker better than that one over there?” I was asked by one strident individual. How I would have loved to have just handed over the Tom Parker Bowles article and said “Look, don’t take my word for it - just read about it in today’s Sunday papers!” I didn’t of course, and carried on with a demonstration and explanation of the efficacies of both hot and cold smoking with the Bradley Smoker. As I recall, the gentleman did buy a Bradley, and without reading the article!

We have nevertheless had a lot of feedback from the article and we can only thank Tom for his interest and enthusiasm. Our thanks too, to the renowned chef Mark Hix (Hix Oyster and Chophouse) who inspired Tom with the quality of the cold smoked salmon he was producing in his Bradley. May they both continue to spread the news!

If you adore outdoor cooking enough to build a fitted kitchen on your front lawn, then you might as well include a Bradley Smoker.

Fortunately you don’t have to be so well heeled to enjoy the full benefit of the Bradley Stainless Steel Smoker.

Alternatively position it permanently in a well ventilated shed or under a lean-to.
