Bradley Digital smoker not feeding pucks

[Cookie's Cutter]

Has anyone had any problems with their Bradley digital smoker not feeding the pucks through?

It seems like mine only works 40 % of the time.

It is a pain in the butt having to watch it and manually advance the pucks now and again.

I have the same problem with mine. Not the digital one though. There’s a few YouTube videos how to clean it and what to look for but didn’t resolve my issue. There’s a timer and micro switch in there that can fail. My solution now is to just advance pucks manually every 20 minutes ... pain in the butt .

Is it the pucks are not dropping down or the mechanism is not advancing them ? When I leave the pucks out side under cover in the rainy season they expand and do not always drop I have also had the unit right apart and then using compressed air blew everything inside after this I would call bradley support

bradley just gives lip service, had to fix my new smoker on my own, not happy with the support

From what I can tell the “pusher” does not go back far enough for another puck to drop.

Noluck - what did you do to fix it?

i had a different issue

If the pusher doesn’t go back far enough then it may be jammed up with sawdust. I had the same problem and fixed it with an air compressor and a flat head screw driver to break up the compaction. I really got tired of my Bradley and that stupid hopper, ended up giving it away. Cheaper than taking it to the dump.

Yes This will correct the problem. I had to do the same things to fix my issues.
