Jim BeamŽ and Bradley Make Sweet Smoke Together


October 31, 2008, Delta, British Columbia-Bradley Smokers is proud to announce an exclusive agreement between Bradley Smokers and world-famous bourbon maker Jim Beam to convert Jim Beam barrels into Bradley compressed wood bisquettes for barbecue smoke cooking. A Bradley wood bisquette is about 2/3rds the size of a hockey puck.

Bradley will chip and compress genuine Jim Beam Bourbon barrels into Bradley bisquettes for barbecue food smoking. Wade Bradley, President of Bradley Smokers says "The wood bisquettes are so rich in flavor you can actually smell the Jim Beam bourbon essence still in the bisquettes."

Designed to fit in the automatic feed Bradley Smokers, these bisquettes will also work in other smokers (although not as effectively as the Bradley due to how the Bradley Smoker converts them to fresh smoke flavor).

The key to the Bradley Smoker is it releases great amounts of precisely timed fresh smoke. This is much different smoke (no creosotes and other pollutants) than other forms of smoking where the wood is used both for cooking heat and smoke.

Use on a regular grill? You bet! These bisquettes also deliver a rich smoke flavor to food grilled on a standard barbecue grill. Simply place the bisquette on the cooking surface and when the smoke starts, put the food on the grill, close the lid and cook as normal.

What's a bourbon barrel, anyway? Jim Beam Bourbon is aged in new, charred, white oak barrels for a minimum of 4 years. The interior surface of each barrel is flame-charred creating a layer of charcoal called the red layer. During the hot summer months, the bourbon expands through the red layer and it contracts during the cold winter months. The bourbon picks up its rich color and vanilla/caramel flavors as it breaths through this red layer during the aging process.

About the bisquettes: Bradley will package these bisquettes into 12, 48 and 120 packs that will retail for $5.99, $19.99 and $44.99 respectively.

In a Bradley smoker, 2-4 of these bisquettes is all you need for imparting a rich, smoke flavor to most any meat, fish or poultry so they are very affordable and highly-effective. These bisquettes can be placed on the grilling surface of a standard barbecue grill and will create flavorful smoke for steak, burgers, fish and fowl.

Flavors: In addition to the new Jim Beam bisquettes Bradley makes nine other all wood bisquettes: oak, hickory, apple, maple, alder, pecan, cherry, mesquite, and a special flavor blend.

Availability: Bradley Smokers are sold in sporting goods stores, some big box stores, sports catalogs, and from barbecue and grill stores. They may also be ordered direct.

Hmmm,,, well I AM a member of Jim Beams "The Brotherhood of the Bourbon" but I am NOT a pellethead cooker. :rolleyes:

Gezzz all you have to do is by the regular pellets (ALOT CHEAPER) and sprinkle on some cheap bourbon to get the same effect. OR use the barrel chips from Jack Daniels. They only cost $2.99 for 2lb bag. ;)

PS Tim T,,, Masterbuilt Smokers are WAY better ! Doubt my word ? Bring your Pellet cooker on.

trust me

Bourbon should be in a shot glass, not in the fire. What the heck is bisquette, anyway? Sounds mighty expensive.

It is a compressed product made from sawdust. They look like little flat bisquits. Those Bradley Smokers have a tube down the side where you lay in a stack of the bisquits. They burn up and auto feed onto a heater element.

the wood goes in a tray that sits above the heating element.

Wood Chips or slim 5" pieces of wood. A bag of wood chips costs about $2.99. You can smoke about 100lb of meat for that $2.99

OR YOU can walk along a fence row and collect Hickory or Cherry sticks and use them. ;)

HA ! Tim T I'm not that good at cookin, it's all in the presentation. I just make it sound good. ;)

My guess is that the Brands Co. that now owns JB & MM has made a deal with some wood, or marketing firm to label and sell the bisquits. That's what they have done with their sauces.

None of the liquor companies produce, bottle, or test their private label sauces. Makers Mark Sauce is or was made/bottled by a company named "Southern Dream Foods". They bottle sauces for dozens of companies. I do not know who does the JB sauces.

WHY don't you own a Masterbuilt Smoker Tim ? Everyone needs atleast 2 ! ;)

Thanks for posting the story. Us BBQ cookers are takin over the backyards one cooker at a time. :D
