Hello from Kentucky! We have owned our residential cookshack for over 20 years, love it to pieces, and cook something in it almost every weekend. It is the very best smoker. I have made wonderful smoked chicken, ribs, pork roasts, and today I am experimenting with smoking some okra straight out of my garden. If anyone else has smoked some vegetables, give me some pointers. I would love to know more about what combinations of seasonings and how much time it takes for them to be done. Today, I decided to wash and dry them, cut them lengthwise, rub olive oil on them, and sprinkle with a mixture of kosher salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Never tried to smoke any vegetable before, but hope it turns out good! Glad to see a couple of ladies on the forum. So glad we bought a Cookshack, people who try to save money and by smokers from big box stores, find out that they don't last. Happy Gardener who loves to cook. LNP2
