Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

Corran's Smokehouse, a family-run charcuterie business in Perth, Scotland, needed to scale up their production of smoked venison without compromising on their renowned flavour. Their existing traditional smoker was temperamental and  labour-intensive.

"The Bradley generator gave us the control and  consistency we desperately needed. We can set it up and  trust it to deliver that perfect, clean smoke for hours. Our output has increased, and  the quality is spot on every single time."

Finlay McGregor – Owner

By pairing the generator with a new insulated cabinet, Corran's Smokehouse was able to increase its weekly smoked goods output by over 30% while reducing labour time significantly.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a stable, level surface in a well-ventilated area, preferably outdoors or under a commercial extraction hood.
  • Use the included adaptor to securely attach the smoke generator's nozzle to your smokehouse or cabinet.
  • Load the feeder tube with your chosen Bradley Bisquettes.
  • Fill the small bowl with water and  place it where the spent bisquettes will be extinguished.
  • Plug into a standard 13 amp socket, and  you're ready to start smoking.

Keeping It Going

  • After each use, once cool, wipe down the stainless steel exterior with a damp cloth.
  • Always empty and  clean the water bowl that catches the used bisquettes.
  • Periodically check and  clean the bisquette burner plate to prevent any residue build-up.
  • Store the generator in a dry place when not in use to protect the electrical components.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Food Smoker

Not sure what kind of smoking solution is the best fit for your business? Here are a few key things to consider to make sure you get the right equipment for the job.

Hot vs. Cold Smoking

Decide what you're making. Hot smoking cooks and  smokes simultaneously (for ribs, brisket), while cold smoking adds flavour without cooking (for salmon, cheese). This generator can do both, depending on your setup.

Capacity and  Cabinet

This is a generator, so it needs a 'smokehouse'. Think about what you'll use. An insulated cabinet offers great control, but even an old metal cupboard or a custom-built wooden box can work brilliantly.

Fuel Type & Flavour

Chips, sawdust, and  pellets all work differently. Bradley's Bisquette system is designed for consistency and  ease, preventing the bitter taste of burnt-out wood ash and  offering a wide range of flavour profiles.

Automation vs. Manual

Do you need to 'set it and  forget it'? This unit automates the smoke generation for up to 9 hours, removing one of the biggest variables and  freeing up your time to focus on other kitchen tasks.

Creating Value

Consider the return on investment. Creating your own smoked goods can create high-margin menu items or retail products that give your business a unique selling point and  a reputation for quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What exactly is a 'Bisquette'?

A: It's a small, consistent puck made of compressed hardwood sawdust. Bradley offers many wood types, like Hickory, Apple, and  Maple, so you can easily change up your smoke flavour.

Q: How often does the machine use a Bisquette?

A: The generator is designed to advance one Bisquette onto the burner every 20 minutes, which means it uses three per hour for a consistent level of smoke.

Q: Can I use this for cold smoking?

A: Yes, absolutely. For cold smoking, you simply need to ensure the smoke has time to cool before it enters your food chamber, which can be done with a length of flexible ducting between the generator and  the cabinet.

Q: Can I use this indoors?

A: Only if it's placed under a suitable commercial kitchen extraction and  ventilation system. For safety and  best results, a sheltered outdoor area is often recommended.

Q: What is the purpose of the included smokehouse blueprint?

A: It's a guide to help you build your own simple, effective plywood smokehouse, giving you a cost-effective way to get started if you don't already have a suitable cabinet.

Q: How long can it run unattended?

A: The feeder tube holds enough Bisquettes for up to 9 hours of continuous, unattended smoking.

Q: Is it difficult to clean?

A: Not at all. The stainless steel body just needs a wipe-down, and  the water bowl where the spent bisquettes fall needs to be emptied and  rinsed after each use.

Q: Do I need any special tools to set it up?

A: No. The generator comes with an adaptor to fit it to your smokehouse. Setup is straightforward and  requires no specialist tools.

The Bradley Bisquette Secret: Clean Smoke, Pure Flavour

Ever wondered what makes the Bradley system different from just using wood chips? It’s all about the 'Bisquette' and  how it burns. This Commercial Smoke Generator automatically feeds one of these compressed hardwood pucks onto a small heater every 20 minutes. The magic is that it burns it for just long enough to create a pure, aromatic smoke, then pushes it off into a water bath to be extinguished before it turns to foul-tasting ash.

Think of it like toasting a slice of bread. There's a perfect golden-brown moment full of flavour. Leave it a minute longer, and  it becomes a black, bitter, acrid mess. Most smokers burn their wood to that bitter ash stage, tainting the food. The Bradley system ensures you only ever get the 'perfectly toasted' smoke, resulting in a cleaner, sweeter, and  more consistent flavour every single time.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Artisan Butchers: Perfect for creating your own signature smoked bacon, gammon, and  sausages with a truly unique flavour profile.
  • Creative Restaurants & Pubs: An excellent tool for elevating your menu with house-smoked fish, cheeses, or meats for standout dishes.
  • Farm Shops & Delis: Create your own high-margin, value-added products like smoked salmon or garlic to sell to your customers.
  • Event & Pop-Up Caterers: A reliable and  relatively portable way to bring authentic smokehouse flavour to festivals, weddings, and  outdoor events.
