I bought the Bradley Smoker as a present for my self after paying off a debt. I was saddened to learn the Bradley smoker doesn't come with "token" bisquettes.... I didn't know what to get so I bought the "Bradley Special Blend" I read the Bradley recipe for Pork Roast... I did what needed to be done the day before... I got up at 1:30 AM and started smoking a 10 lb Pork Roast. 12 short hours later I became what is now known as A GOD AMONG lesser MEN. I proved it was not a flake when I made smoked Turkey Legs and fed them to folks who don't like Turkey Legs. I was harassed for days until I agreed to make MORE SMOKED TURKEY LEGS for folks who don't like Turkey Legs. And the Brisket! Men fall to their knees in awe and women plant flowers where ever I intend to walk to soften the blow of my steps because of how incredibly awesome the Brisket turned out!
I took all the credit, but the "Bradley Special Blend" is what did all the heavy lifting.
Thanks to the "Bradley Special Blend" I can now walk down the isles at the local Wal Mart where Men hide their faces in shame and women offer to pick out my produce.
...
In all due honesty... the "Bradley Special Blend" is a very nice general purpose blend that goes pretty well with everything. I have done loads of beef, pork, chicken, turkey, lamb, goat, and even bass and crapie. I always keep it on hand for when their isn't enough Apple to do this, or Hickory to do that... I'm not kidding, it's the Get The JOB Done Blend in my house and NO ONE ever complains.
And that is a Fact!

Bradley makes a popular line of rack smokers that require these disks of chopped and pressed hardwoods for use in their smoke generators. Disks come in a variety of wood mixes or "flavors" including hickory and alder and this "special blend." I have used several "flavors" in smoking ribs, bacon slabs and hams and they all work well. My favorite for versatility is "special blend." It produces a lighter smoke taste than the hickory but is a bit more assertive than apple wood. Rather than keeping a variety of these packets on hand, I prefer to go with this one.As a moderate practitioner of home smoking meats, I find the 48-count packaging works best for me. As long as I am paying for shipping and handling, I feel I need to order enough product to last a while. Smoking any cut will require from 4-6 bisquettes and larger cuts or a heavier smoked flavor will require even more of them. On the other hand, the binding agent that holds the wood chips together seems to break down after several months, even in pantry storage. Since the bisquettes are fed into the smoke generator by a pusher, the disks need to stay together while they sit in the feeder tube and while they are pushed to the ignition source.
The chips do a good job of smoldering evenly and completely and the binder agent does not seem to leave any taste or aroma of its own. Given Bradley's system, this is a necessary product and it works very well.
