How to Smoke
Depending on how much smoke flavour you want, you can use the disk of your own desire. I used Hickory. Start the smoker generator. Close the door and insure the temp rises back to around 200 F.
Place the Back strap on the bottom rack of the Bradley smoker with the Water pan on the Heat diffuser, full of water.
After about 3 1/2 hours in the smoker, check core temp of meat. 160 F will render a medium very delicious and tender cut of meat.
Enjoy!
