Mornin',Dufus99.
I have nothing bad ,or good,to say about the new Smokin'Tex offshore cookers.
No one has any experience with them yet,as far as I know.
I can say that Cookshack has been producing ultra-reliable products for some 40 years.
Their customer service is great,whether purchased from them or a distributor.
Even if we make the wrong purchase or change our thoughts, they bend over backwards to get us on a track that makes us happy.
They have the expertise with their products to solve special problems or to meet special needs of their purchasers.
Hope this helps some.
