    New Weber 22

    Great smoker - and I thought I got a steal for mine at $275! There's not too much of a learning curve, I'd suggest searching the "minion method" for charcoal loading and burning. I can get mine to stick within 10-15 degrees for 8 hours or more without adding new fuel. These things are very...

    What to Do, What to Do...

    Here's the deal, I've found a 20 year old Cookshack 055 for sale...after talking with the guy, he'll sell it for $275. It looks like it's been used sparingly and the inside looks spotless.  Money isn't the issue, it's a) do I need another cookshack (I have an old 008 model) and  b) is a 20 year...

    If you could get any sub $1000 electric, what would you get?

    Glad to hear you're considering a Cookshack. I actually found mine on Craigslist. Now that I have one, I won't consider anything else - I'm looking for a larger unit, but happy with the performance of the one I have. The one thing I've learned is that Cookshack smokers are really efficient -...

    What electric smoker do I get?

    Over the past 5 years I've had a total of four electric smokers. I started with the cheap bullet-style and worked my way up to a nice modified vertical electric that I thought I'd have for a while.  About two months I go I was on Craigslist and I found an ad for a Cookshack SM008 (slightly...

    Craigslist Find!

    Was browsing Craiglist earlier this week - someone placed an ad for a Cookshack SM008. I thought for sure there were issues - element, door latch, wiring, etc. E-mailed the guy, he said it was in perfect working condition, lightly used. I ran over, took one look and bought it for.....$150.  I...

    Hello from the West Coast

    Hi all - fellow Smoker from Bakersfield, CA here. Have been viewing the forums for a better part of a year as a guest, as I have starting to refine my basic skills, so a belated thank you for the help! A little background - I started off watching my dad smoke using his New Braunfels offset as a...
