We the ITM Fishing Show had one of it’s annual trip to the kings this year and they were lucky enough to land a nice striped marlin on there way home, a phone call was made and asked it they could use the V8 Smokehouse to smoke it

Sure was the reply as i was keen to put this to the real test

Firstly we cut the marlin into chunks and rubbed them with Bradley Maple Cure and Maple Syrup

Left in the fridge for 2 days and laid them out on racks and this fish actually filled the smoker

Setup the V8 Smoker to smoke for 5 hours using maple wood and slowly cook for 11 hours at 72C

and after inspection it was perfect and time to vacuum pack it up and ready for the boys to pick up

These smoke generator kits are absolutely awesome for building your own smoker and life couldn’t get any simpler!

As like most people, ducks are a very lean meat to say the least so since we were privileged enough to get hold of some duck breasts, we thought it would be a good idea to show what you can do with them

Firstly were are following the duck recipe http://www.bradleysmoker.co.nz/sugar-cure-recipes.asp#7

This morning we mixed together the ingredients and put in the fridge to cure for 12 days

stay tuned over the next week as we will do live updates

Round 2 after 14 days the duck breasts were taken out of the fridge and washed

then they were pat dryed and some were left as they were and some covered in maple syrup and rolled in cracked peppercorns to make pastrami

and them left overnight in the fridge to settle

the next morning they were loaded into the Bradley using Mesquite wood and the smoker was set to smoke for 4 hours and cook for 6 hours at 92C

and late afternoon there you have it a whole new dimension on what you can do with ducks

You asked for it- we created it! We at Bradley are excited to bring you the new Bradley Cold Smoke Adaptor. Cold Smoking on hot days proved to be quite a challenge until now. The Bradley Cold Smoke Adaptor attaches between the smoke tower and the generator with a flexible aluminum tube that allows the smoke to cool down before it reaches your food, enabling you to do a true cold smoke. This unit fits onto all Bradley Smoker models.

Great for Smoked Cheese, Cold Smoked Salmon and Trout
