Are use a smoker made by Bradley. It looks like a small refrigerator with a little box on the left side. You never have to touch anything hot in it except for when you remove the shelf that has the meat or vegetables or whatever it is that you're smoking. It has a dial with you can set a temperature if you want to cook the food while you're smoking it, and it has a hole in the fence on top of it that you can use to put a talking thermometer down through to listen to the two it has a hole in the vent on the top that fits the dale Campbell talking thermometer. It uses small round blocks of wood that you stack in a tube on the left side of it, these parks are similar in size to an Oreo cookie. They drop down into the smoker and they sit on a plate which causes them to smolder after a certain amount of time they are pushed off into a bowl of water so that they do not really burn. You never really have to touch anything hot, because when the ball gets full of wood you can touch it with your fingers bullet out dump it in a trashcan add more water and put it back in. This would take an awful long time to do, because the smoker only uses three bucks per hour, and it would take about 20 to fill the bowl. The outsides of this Bradley smoker never get warm. It is really a very very safe tool to use for a blind person. Bradley does make a model that has touch controls or something like that but you do not have to buy that one. I know there are others that work the same way, and I can say the only disadvantage to the Bradley smoker, is that the pox are proprietary and I don't know if you can use other types of shapes of wood. The wood is not that expensive to buy, but if you use something like a Brinkmann smoker you can use any would you wish. I am a totally blind person and I do a lot of meat smoking bowls for myself and other people and public events. It is actually really easy to do. I am using Siri so my sentences are a little bit chopped up and I am really sorry. If you have any other questions I would be happy to talk with you on the phone to work this through no matter which smoker you decide to buy. If you want to talk on the phone please send me a private email and I will give you my phone number.

My friend believes I might have challenges. I think it's because I'm blind. His comment is below. Not posting this to bash but maybe a learning experience can begin. I suppose there might be books right? Until I locate one, any helpful tips for a beginner will be appreciated. I plan on getting a masterbuilt in August, unless someone has other ideas. Have you ever tried smoked salmon? I cant see you smoking meat because it is very time consuming. Also i think it is a little dangerous because of the whole visual aspect. Along with the ingredients plus special woods special sauces lots of start up cost there. Now if you had a farm with cows or hunted then yes a smoker comes in handy as it preserves large quantities of meat. -----Original Message----- From: Carlos Taylor via Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark@acbradio.org] Sent: Tuesday, July 5, 2016 3:40 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Carlos Taylor <cetayl...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [CnD] Smokers I also have a Master Built electric smoker. I absolutely love it! I’ve smoked chicken, ribs, pork chops, turkey, and even brisket. Just to clarify, a smoker of this type is something to be used outside, not in the kitchen. > On Jul 1, 2016, at 7:26 PM, Marie Rudys via Cookinginthedark > <cookinginthedark@acbradio.org> wrote: > > That's nice.
