What a great year it's been for all of us at Bradley Smoker. After launching our company in May of 2000, we cranked up sales, won the big industry award, and now are introducing our first edition newsletter.
I hope you like it, and I encourage you to contribute to it. We will be happy to post new stories, including outdoor lifestyle stories and reports, recipes, and articles relating to food smoking and barbequing. It has become very clear to me that people in Canada have a different perspective about food smoking/ barbecuing than people in the USA. New cooking methods have become a hot item for discussion and I hope you will take something useful from each issue of our newsletter. If you miss an issue, or want to reference an article or story, don't worry as we will be archiving the newsletter on our website. Settle in your lawn chair, have a cool drink, smell the aroma from your Bradley Smoker, and enjoy your summer. Sincerely, Wade Bradley, President & Editor
 
Granny Smith
Apple Pork Ribs
Prepare by cutting the slabs in half or into serving size portions. Rub with brown sugar and place in zip bag or platter. Pour in apple cider vinegar and cover for 24 hours. Every once in a while roll the ribs around in the bag to be sure all the portions are equally covered with vinegar and brown sugar.
4 slabs of side pork ribs
1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
Garlic seasoning pepper
Barbeque sauce

Preheat the Bradley Smoker to 220 degrees F. Using Apple Flavour Bisquettes smoke the ribs for 2 hours. Make sure there is water in the pot and that the damper is closed. Place the ribs on the racks and sprinkle on seasoning.

After smoking for 2 hours, turn the smoke generator off, and continue to cook for up to 6 hours. It generally takes 4 hours to cook at 220 degrees, but can vary up to 6 hours. Serve with barbecue sauce on the side. Our favourite side dishes are baked beans, salad, and corn bread.

This Year's Vesta
Award Goes to...

Bradley Smoker.

The Bradley Smoker was honoured with the Award for Charcoal/Wood barbecues at this year's Vesta Awards ceremony presented by Hearth & Home Magazine in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Vesta Awards, which were created to recognize companies and their products that have served to advance the industries, were open to all manufacturers and importers. 90 products were subsequently entered. Judging teams were made up of retailers, distributors, product designers, test lab engineers, affiliate leaders and industry experts in order to represent a balance of disciplines. The Bradley Smoker is a unique smokehouse in which Flavour Bisquettes are burned for 20 minutes each so that the temperature does not fluctuate and thus eliminates high temperature gasses, acids and resins that can distort food flavour. The Bradley Smoker makes clean tasting food, without any aftertaste. The smoker is a 110-volt electric smoker whose low-temperature cooking environment is perfect for west coast seafood delicacies as well as traditional barbecue meals such as beef brisket, pork shoulders or ribs.Depending on the outdoor ambient temperature, it can be used continuous hot or cold smoking. In this manner the Bradley Smoker is ideal for any cooking environment.

Gary Coopers forecast
for Saltwater fishing in
British Columbia.

2001 is shaping up to be the best of the last decade when it comes to the return of Coho and Chinook salmon to spawn in British Columbian waters. This adds up to a bonanza for anglers wishing to fill their Bradley Smokers with prime fillets of Pacific Salmon. Did you know that you could smoke over thirty pounds of Salmon at a time? If you want some smoked salmon recipes check out our web site at www.fishingdiary.net. This is also a great site for you to share some of your own secret recipes. Why is 2001 going to be a bonanza year? It's all to do with Mother Nature. In the early 1990s, British Columbia felt the effects of El Nino. Warm water currents introduced ferocious feeding mackerel that loved the taste of small salmon fry. After four years of drastic conservation measures by concerned anglers and the British Columbia government, it appears that the Salmon stocks are rebuilding; rebuilding to the point that in one outing you should be able to fill your Bradley Smoker with Red Salmon fillets.
