BTHC48, Smoked Wood

The key to the success of Bradley Smokers is the Bradley Flavour Bisquettes. To produce the bisquettes, a precisely measured amount of hardwood shavings is compressed under controlled pressure and density so that each bisquette has the same size and shape. The Bradley Smoker burns one smoked bisquette every 20 minutes, creating a clean smoke flavor. After 20 minutes, the burned bisquette is gently pushed out of the burner element by the next one and extinguished in the water pot. This cycle continues as long as the smoke generator is loaded with bisquettes. When wood burns, the desired smoke flavor is created in the first few minutes of combustion. Once the wood generates enough heat to burn on its own, it produces high temperatures, unwanted acids, resins, and gases. These affect the taste and appearance of smoked foods. If the wood burns to this point, there is no longer any control over flavor development. With Bradley Flavour Bisquettes, this is now a thing of the past. The flavor bisquettes not only prevent unwanted heat, but the smoke produced this way is also four times cleaner than the smoke produced by identical loose shavings burning uncontrollably in a pan or a smoking box. The flavor of the smoke is determined by the type of wood burned. The strong and pronounced flavors of walnut bisquettes are often used for smoking beef and pork, such as pork shoulders or beef brisket.
