Can anyone compare the Bradley vs Masterbuilt?

Not sure which Masterbuilt you are referring too. I would consider a few things when looking at smokers of this type. First, is it insulated? Insulation such as that found in the Bradley allows you to use less electricity since it is easier to keep the temperature and you can cook outdoors even when it is cold.. Also look at the hedges of the door and something well built like the Bradley will have solid hinges which means a solid fit.

there are two different brands. I discovered that the Hape one was better built. If you found the Hape one for cheaper grab it!

I haven't used the Sven in about 20 years, but my memory is that the Sven feels more solid, as it's all metal, but by design it takes more effort to set up and take down. Plus there's the (theoretically) easily lost wing nut. I prefer the design of the Coghlans due to the ease of set-up and take-down, but there is quite a bit of force applied to a set screw which is mounted in the plastic handle- what remains to be determined is if the plastic fatigues over time, and as I just bought the Coughlin and haven't done any camping, so have yet to use it. Time will tell. However, there are a number of reviews on Amazon from folks who have owned the Coughlan for quite awhile, and few complaints about premature failure. Conclusion: the Coughlan seems better by design, the Sven by virtue of being all metal seems to be (possibly) more durable.

Not quite sure. As a whole, I have noticed the build quality & materials on Makita drills decline ( metal chuck ring now plastic) & seeing the lesser models sold for eye-popping $69.00 prices in bargain bin. The profit margin must be big for this. The brushless model is stout ( so far). Be picky & don't fall for the too cheap price.

I ordered the pro because I'm using it for my personal training studio. Usually with products, price increase and 1 step up from the original should be considered as a better product. Diameter, sturdiness and material make the difference.

Hannah,Yes, that is why I purchased it. It is lighter, quieter and has a better dust vacuum than the earlier model Porter Cable that it replaces. Oh yes, it is also less expensive.Good luck with your cabinets!John

LOL I have both of them. I use the Crane in the bedroom and this in the living room. The top voted answer is very on point and covers a lot of the differences. Although they do miss some of the more.. general differences. 1) Filling up: The crane is a bigger hassle to fill. The opening is at the bottom of the "tear" shape and it's not really all that easy to balance everything while filling it (it's not made to sit on the top..). The Honeywell is extremely simple by comparison. 2) capacity: The honewell has a much larger capacity and is great if you don't want to continually refill it. 3) output: They both do really well on this front, but you can literally see the vapor shooting from the crane. Although you can't see the vapor, I've noticed that the Honeywell pushes out cooler air. 4) Maintenance: Honeywell has this hands down. It's just easier to change a filter than to let soak in white vinegar every week. However, if price is a big factor than white vinegar is cheap (I still use it on the honeywell about once a month) and the time might not be as big of a deal for you. I've never noticed any "white film" on either of them, but I'm pretty good about changing the water and only use filtered water..

I think so. How much and what it is, I don't know. Good question for Masterbuilt.

I do not know the difference. I suggest that Bradley go to the Mueller web site and pick out one model of each type of scope and compare the Features list and the Specifications list.

I'm looking to buy one. Such a good question but no one seems to know the answer. :(update: I think they are the same except one is more cheaply built. But which one?? Who knows...could be the higher priced one!

I am not familiar with the Masterbuilt, but if it uses the same lugs as this cold smoke adapter then it would just snap on. If not, then worst case, you might have to make a sheet metal adapter to hook the hose to your smoker. I adapted this device to a non-Bradley cabinet style Propane-heated smoker by simply drilling a couple holes through the supplied flange and the cabinet and adding some nuts and bolts. I mounted the supplied flange over the top of an existing cabinet vent, so that the cold smoke enters the cabinet near the bottom. I put everything together with a power drill, screwdriver some screws from Home Depot and an hour or so of labor. Now I can do either hot or cold smoking in the same cabinet. The results are worth the effort! I love this thing! It looks pretty good and has been quite reliable. The smoke box will hold a couple weeks worth of bisquette ashes (which is about a paycheck's worth :-( ). Remember that you also need the Bradley smoke generator to hook on to this cold smoker box.

I had a Total Gym 1000 a few years ago. It folded up but it was a bit of a job (I'm 6', 205 & fairly strong.) This product seems slightly heavier than the current Total Gyms in this price range, but is half the cost. If you can afford the price difference maybe you should go with what you know. When you get used to either and in decent shape I bet either will be a snap. I think I'm going to try the Weider.

I believe it is. There are basically two types of Bradley Smokers. Digital and analog. The only other differences are the size of the cabinet and included accessories.

Go with the Craftsman if you can afford it. Craftsman is always a better option.

I can't tell the difference. I compared prices, etc. I thought maybe the finish but they both say walnut. Also, the dimensions are almost identical. Having not owned both, I cannot say for sure.

Have had George Foreman grills, no longer have any. Love the Masterbuilt so much that we bought one for our daughter. can't go wrong with it.

Yes Bradley is dot certified, I have two for me and my wife and is an excellent choice.
