#3. No Harmful Ash

Since Bradley Bisquettes are all-natural, they do not contain any extra chemicals. The result is cleaner smoke that does not emit any harmful gases, soot, carbon deposits, or any other harmful chemicals in the burning process. This efficient process eliminates foul-tasting and harmful ash in your food. That makes them a safe source of energy that provides a more natural flavor.

#4. Efficiency

One of the significant benefits of using Bisquettes in your smoker is that they are more efficient. These Bisquettes have a high heating value, enabling them to emit more intense heat compared to other fuels. Also, they emit much less ash content. Bisquettes are 40% more efficient and last longer than firewood. This efficiency is attributable to their density and low moisture.

#5. Burns longer and cheaper.

Since Bradley Bisquettes are made by compressing combustible materials, this process enables them to burn for a longer, extended period. One bisquette burns for at least 20 minutes which means you will need only three bisquettes in one hour. That would be less than $1.40 an hour, buying from bradleysmoker.com.

Tips to make your smoking food infuse the smoky bisquette flavor

Here are some additional Bradley tips & tricks on how to achieve superb flavor on your smoked meat.

Always Use raw and wet food

To get perfectly flavored smoked meat, always use raw meat. Since the flavor compounds present in smoke are dissolvable in fat and water, the food you are cooking will absorb smoky flavor best when raw.

Use a spice rub

Use a spice rub on meat to make the surface rough, reducing the boundary layer and enabling a smokier flavor to stick to the meat.

Always keep the meat moist.

When smoking your meat in the Bradley Smoker, it helps to keep the meat from drying out by spritzing it using a spray bottle.

Add humidity to the smoker.

Add the humidity inside the smoker by placing a water pan that also prevents the meat from drying out by adding moisture to the meat surface. This keeps it moist all through the cooking process.
