    Found older Cookshack for sale on craigslist, any comments ??

    I have had my Cookshack for over 10 years. If it broke today, I would order a new one tomorrow. It took a while for me to realize just how "little" the amount of wood to use........now it is my "go to" smoker out of the 5 that I own. Brad

    Smoked Barramundi & Grilled New Zealand Grass Fed NY Strip Steak, With Smoked Strawberries!!!

    Happy Valentines Day to you Leah....... Some years ago I used to know a gal that liked the raw center steaks. As most steak houses never caught on to "just warm it", she was seldom happy with what was served. So for her, I would take a frozen steak and cook the outside and then let it rest  for...

    Why You MIGHT Just Try A "WHITE!"

    Hey Leah........my usual is a pink like white zin and then most whites. Red wine makes my head feel like someone is holding basketball practice in there. I do a lot of fish and cheese on the smoker and white wine will pair with them most of the time. B~

    Spiral Cut Ham

    hey Al........I'm thinking that maybe a ham net would hold it together enough to keep it from leaking too badly. At that price, trying it can't be all bad........ Brad

    Snowy Smokes & Sips? Do Share Yours!

    Making sausage is a bad  (or good)  habit. I have to plan ahead so I can do a bunch and then sit back and eat......and sip a bit of wine. My neighbor works at a local winery and she likes to bring home things to sample. So happens she loves the summer sausage I make and the smoked...

    First batch of venison sticks. What went wrong. And now Batch 2.0

    I feel for you buddy........stix can be a PITA. Last summer a buddy of mine came over to help me build a 25 lb batch of stix. Not knowing that we both put in the water, the meat was a bit wet. The first 5 lb in the smoker did just as yours are doing but it was water and not fat. I just let the...

    Issues with venison snack sticks

    Morning Travis..........I see two things that "might" help you. I think that the pork loin is too lean........I use pork butt.....has more fat in it. In a 25 lb batch, I use 10 lb venison, 10 lb pork shoulder, and 5 lb 80/20 ground beef. And, for two, I don't use a water pan for sticks. I've...
