GAWD, you are doing the frickin' Dense Dance, Kent.
You make a statement "I don't think any of the smokers on the market for
consumers can do this."
1. You are caught, once again, talking out of sheer ignorance.
2. As others have done before me, I pointed out that the Bradley has a cold
smoking unit designed to do exactly what you claim doesn't exist. (I don't
even bother to point out that my Kamado and other ceramic pits do quite well
with cold smoking).
3. You then do the trademarked 'Kent Backpeddle Boogie' by saying, "I wasn't
aware that the Bradley had a smoke generating unit that separated from the
smoker itself."
4. Next comes the expected 'Kent Discovery Mode' where our hero provides
information that those replying to the thread already know. "In fact you can
buy it separately", Kent says, "and make your own box". Our boy, Kent, then
provides a Walmart url to complete the Backpeddle Boogie.
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!!!!
5. Here comes the 'Kent Priceless Critique' phase, "At $164 it seems a bit
high." Of course, such a review is based on Kent's long-time
consumer-shopping expertise on the Bradley unit.
6. Now we are into Kent's 'Stupid Questioning Phase', in which Kent, despite
the wide-ranging experience of others who have successfully used the Bradley
cold-smoking unit, posits thusly: "I don't know if that would work or not"
..
7. Next we come to the patented 'Kent Dumb-Ass Moment' in which he comes up
with something stupendously off-script. "Maybe a 20' long "smoke tube"
running into a smoking box in the next room?", he asks. And Kent waits with
a certainty that all will acknowledge such profound and heretofore
unknowable wisdom with fawning admiration and applause. Those of us with
experience with the Bradley would normally expect someone in Kent's position
to ask a more sane question like, "How did you set up your unit?". Instead,
we are left shaking our heads in wonder.
8. Then Kent does his 'Hey Everybody, I'm Valuable; Don't Throw Me Off The
Island' routine where he says, "As I said before, next time I'm going to try
liquid smoke. I'll do a taste test of available liquid smoke products and
report my findings." The really sad part is that Kent thinks we can hardly
wait for him to do this and that we even care.
