Portable Propane Smoker

Portable Propane Smoker FARM HOME Food 31-1-31 This new portable propane smoker is about the size of a small refrigerator so you can take it just about anywhere. And it makes clean tasting food without any aftertaste, says Bradley Technologies Canada, Inc., Delta, B.C. The Bradley Smoker measures 26 in. high, 12 in. wide, and 13 1/2 in. deep. It weighs 23 lbs. The unit operates off a 1-lb. propane tank that mounts in a control box outside the smoker, which has four adjustable racks. Flavored, pressed wood "bisquettes" are stored in a vertical container next to the propane tank and are automatically fed every 20 minutes into the smoker burner. The automatic bisquette feeding system is operated by four double AA batteries. The burner cooks the wood down to the charcoal stage and then a water bowl extinguishes the charcoal. The charcoal is then automatically pushed off and new bisquettes are brought in. "It's small enough that you can put in it in your boat or RV, or take it with you when you go camping. Yet it can cook anything up to the size of a turkey without needing constant attention," says Michael Tostowaryk, Bradley Technologies Canada, Inc., Delta, B.C. "It doesn't need any tending - all you do is put the food in, start the push button ignition burner, and leave it alone. "Other smokers burn the wood down to ash, which gives food a bitter taste. Because our smoker extinguishes the wood once it reaches the charcoal stage, all toxins and resins stay in the wood and don't go into the food. The bisquettes are available in nine different flavors: apple, alder, hickory, cherry, maple, pecan, mesquite, oak, and a special blend. "It comes with a 10-ft. car adaptor so if the batteries go dead you can plug the adapter into a cigarette lighter." Sells for $199 plus S&H not including the bisquettes or propane tank. The bisquettes come in boxes of 48 or 120. The cost to smoke with the Bradley Smoker is about $1 per hour. The company also offers electric smokers that operate on 120-volt household current, using the same automatic wood pellet feeding system.
