Three years later and I will confess. I did get a Bradley. Kind of ironic, but just this weekend I sold it in a garage sale cause it basically just fell apart over three years. I junked it cause I decided to step up and do what I should have in the first place - get a Cookshack. So, Amerique, here I come just as soon as I can find the best price on a unit for Father's Day!
Get the Cookshack. The Bradley made decent Q, but for me the fragility of the unit plus just keeping up with making sure I had enough of the wood preformed disks it uses was enough to push me over the edge. Forget the cost of the wood which was, as everyone has mentioned, expensive.
Check out the charcoal store. I bought mine from them last december.They offer a good price,free shipping and 20 lbs of free wood with you purchase. You can get 20 lbs of your favorite of four 5 lbs bags of different woods.
I 2nd what Gregor said. I bought my AmeriQue from The Charcoal Store in May. Delivery took 4 days to North Louisiana. the entire trasaction was perfect. You will love the AmeriQue, really foolproof. I have used it at least once a week now for the last month!
