Yes, as C'Nooga said it was just a brief note related to the type of smoker. I would say the SmokinTex 1300 is similar enough to the 008 to warrant a direct comparison of cooking technique.
I am new here but have seen alot of posts questioning bark/smoke ring compared to traditional smokers and wanted to let those lurkers who are thinking of purchasing a Cookshack or similar that it indeed can be pulled off.
I was more interested in the bark than I was the ring because I love the crispy bits.
