Hello, I'm a newbee shopping for a smoker. Would appreciate some info on the CS 008/9 not listed in the various descriptions.
1)Can any hardwood scrap be used, lumber, shavings , sawdust etc?
2)how long will the unit run on a full load without tending? chunks/shavings/dust
3) green vs seasoned wood problems?
4) how exactly is the temp. regulated? is that the temp knob on top? chip burner varies overall temp?
5) are the electricals sealed from the weather? could unit stand a little rain while in use?
6) can the unit cold smoke?
7)I read that this unit makes poltry skin rubbery, True? too much moisture? no vent? , bull crap statement?
Would prefer not buying bisquits, have free lumber scraps. However, the consistant results and 8 hour tending cycles of the Bradley are worth consideration. I guess it is down to weighing the details, I'd sure appreciate your help.
