Here is a little movie of it working with the A-MAZE-N-PELLET SMOKER instead of the smoke generator. I can use either one or even both but that would be over kill for smoke.

The Bradley smokers have a smoke generator that moves the wood onto a heating element. Normally the SG is attached to the smoker like in picture #1 and the element resides inside the smoker creating unwanted heat when cold smoking. The solution is to buy a cold smoke adapter from bradley. Picture be...

Devo, Do you really believe that you can work for forty years and retire for thirty to forty years? If the company goes out of business where will your pension go? Thirty years ago I was charging eleven dollars per hour for my labor today I charge eighty. It is hard for me to believe that the next ...

This is what I did for a cold smoke adapter. I have a 4 rack bradley that has their own smoke generator attached to the cabinet and it will produce about 120*F heat inside the cabinet. So smoking cheese was kind of hard to do with such a high temp. So I took an old microwave and did some modificatio...

Thank you for all the replies. It makes sense that this is condensing water with smoke. I was smoking with pretty fresh maple wood which had a lot of moisture and the chamber with the meat has fairly thin, uninsulated metal panels with a large surface area for the moisture to condense on. I'm not s...

Part of your problem is you need to have good ventilation. If you have a vent on top it should be wide open for most smokes. The water build up will drip all over your meat and to me it don't look very nice. Poultry has a lot of water in it so it's important to vent the moisture the best you can.
