I have a Bradley and a regular big sized Weber BBG/Smoker. I've have the Brinkman ( tall smoker ) too. I've had the best flavor and out come with the big Weber.

The Bradley is OK, but you need a bunch of the " pucks " which are pretty spendy.
I have found in the Bradley I stopped adding water to the puck catcher pan and get a much better smoke by letting the pucks continue to burn in the bowl.  :tup:

I stopped using the automatic puck pusher. The last few wouldn't push and would get steamed/wet and be worthless. I started stacking 5-6 on top of each other and let them burn that way. Worked pretty well.
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

My neighbor printed out an ad for a stainless steel Cajun Injector electric smoker on Overstock.com, and I ordered one.  Love it!  He ordered a Bradley, and wishes he got one like mine.  Both do a good job, but he has to buy the pucks.  I use chips and chunks, but I found out the hard way that I can't use pellets--they explode, and blow open the door to the chute that is there to add more chips if you want more smoke.  Then I lose temperature.  I enjoyed the learning curve, and found out that I like smoked beef better than smoked pork.   :twocents:
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.
