5th Year Anniversary for CS Forum!

Ditto

Smokin' your efforts are not only appreciated, but invaluble for those of us wading the BBQ stream fishing for info! You know all the good spots and save us alot of time.

Tom, pat yourself on the back as well. You cast your knowledge out there as well! We know, we know......your no expert, but you spent alot of nights in Holiday Inns with pro cooks!

Thanks to CS for hosting this great forum for 5 years. I look forward to coming here for lots more years.

Happy 5th forum!

I appreciate this Forum and all its contributors. Thanks, Smokin, Cookshack, and others who have helped me this past year.

I have to Ditto all the good things said about this forum. THough I have only posted a few times and then only with problems I must say that the folks at CS have been super and the folks in this forum have been fantastic. I look forward to many years of great advice from those who have been there and done that....

I first found this forum while searching with Google for modifications for a new Brinkman S&P Pro. What I found I believe was the OLD forum. It was in text form... is rough..and talks a lot about low n slow. Took me almost 3 nites to read the whole thing and realize there was a newer forum out there. During my 20 months of being a 008 owner, I have had the privilege of meeting most of the Cookshack folks AND our own SmokinOkie and I have to say they are collectively some of the finest people I have ever been acquainted with. And like a lot of you here, I am almost ready to look into buying another CS smoker.

Thanks Smokin for making this, YOUR labor of love, the finest informational forum on the Net!

I have to say the same as everyone else.one of the main reasons I purchased my CS a couple of years ago,was because of the CS forum (thanks everyone for your help)I never had even seen a CS smoker,but I bought one anyhow to see what everyone on the forum was so excited about,& I am glad I did.(a 009)sold it to a friend because I wanted more space,so I bought a (055)& I love it too.I did not hesitate to buy CS brand again.thats how much I love it.Thanks everyone & CS for a great product & a great forum.

Gosh guys, tough week at work, hadn't been on the forum for days and I come back to THIS?

Nah, I gotta say I spend a lot of time behind the scenes (and I guess in front) but YOU GUYS make this what the forum is. If you look through old post, yup, in the original one Cadillac, Tom and I did a lot of posting there.

But over the years, the forum has emerged and now all of you contribute as much as I do.

You make it good for me to come back to.

Make sure you click on "directory" at the top of the page (it's below the text that says "COOKSHACK BARBECUE FORUM"), and you can see who's made the most posts besides Tom and I.

Smokin'

p.s. Hey 'Nooga, don't know what you're talking about, but you'll just have to keep reading Surprises soon.

I think all of you are fabulous. You are making history on the internet as you share your knowledge. Someday, when Capt. Picard says, "Computer, barbecue, ribs, spicy" it will be because you fed all the knowledge into it. :-)

Donna

Oops, forgot to mention that we are finalizing the 5-year event as I write. Maybe "event" is a little grandiose, but we are working on making it fun for you.

Donna

"Surprises soon"?

The suspense is just killing me. Should I look for the freight company to be bringing that FEC I've been longing for? Did I win something? lol.

I'll keep my eyes open on this forum for the great stuff CS has in mind!

C'Nooga

My, my, my how impatient we are

A plan is coming together, let's just say that Weekly, starting with the March 1st anniversary things will be happening.

Free stuff, yes, Maybe even a smoker, but you'll have to wait for the fun to begin on March 1st.

SmokinOkie,
Do you mean it will be kind of like the Cookshack Prize Patrol?

No, no one is going to show up to your door with a smoker. Especially since many of you are only an email and a forum name.

Nope, we'll be annoucing stuff throughout the month on the forum.

Russ

LMAO! Reminds me of the Bob Seger tune, 'I'm not a number', or whatever the title is!

Russ,

Does that mean I'll have to come pick up the 5th Anniversary FEC Limited Edition model I win?

Give me the address, I'll cya this weekend.

Thanks!
Wade

There's an idea for a contest. I'll hide a smoker somewhere in the US and if you can find it, you can have it.

Russ,

That's great. You give me GPS coordinates and I'm in the car.

That's another great hobby: www.geocaching.com

There's "buried treasure" all over the U.S., but, I have yet to find a nice CS Smoker at any of my finds.

Cya!

Actually I could do that, but it would be too EASY. I spent a lot of time in the AF with GPS, before the opening of the controls.

Now with handhelds, you can walk right too it.

Although there is a 4,500' mesa in western oklahoma...
