like this, we only have to smoke twice a year at most.

I'm not big into this stuff, but when you live in Texas, you have to
smoke at least 20 pounds of meat per person, per year or they fine you.

I can not recommend the Bradley Smoker.

In spite of light use, ours is falling apart. The smoke generator works
fine but the heating element and smoking cabinet is pretty shoddy. Some
day if I get up the ambition, I'll get an old refrigerator and attach
the smoke generator to that.
