AmeriQue Release

There truely is a god !!!! . Now all I have to do is save my pennies ..

Pennies Hell .......... Better work on them dollars. It seems like it is going to be an awesome unit.

The model 66 is now official.

I'm sure there will be lots of questions.

Wonder who will be the first to have one out there ???

You mean it WON'T be you Smok'in ?? lol

Hey Smokin' How 'bout a special forum section for the AmeriQue? Sure would sure make it easy to keep in touch with that way. Just a thought.

Well I had my request in, but I'm getting the new version of the FE's for the contest to test. I'll get a 66 model some time and take photos when I can.

Probably not for now. We have the "electric" forum dealing with the various models and the "FE" forums.

Trying to separate the owners into their smokers would add too many more.

I already get complaints we have to many. Hard to find them all on the main page.

thanks for the idea.

My AmeriQue is scheduled for delivery on Friday. I can already feel a case of the flu coming on. So I guess I'll be home when it arrives.

I'm sure some smoke and good BBQ will have me ready to be back in my office by Monday AM. Can't think of any better medicine.

Many thanks to Karen for her help and kind attention.

Way to go Hook, I hope you will well enough to getting the unit seasoned! Let us now how you like it. Roger

Please let us know what you smoked and how well you liked it. I am considering purchasing one, later this summer, and I would love to hear some feedback.

Hook! Season that puppy up and send some photos of your first smoke!

It looks very nice but I have a couple questions that I did not see on the information page.
Does the digital controller have a timer or a clock that tells how long the smoker has been turned on, and how high of a temp does the AmeriQue reach? Thanks

Hi Beefy,

Here's what I know so far:

1. Temp regulation is spot on.
2. The timer is "count down." You set the cook time and it counts down as is it cooks.
3. The Hold feature works like a champ.
4. The size is great for whole racks of spares and big briskets.

I seasoned it Friday night, but didn't get a chance to cook. Talk about "all dressed up and nowhere to go." I'll do some ribs tonight, I hope, and will have more to pass along soon. (If I can get a batch to look like Dennis's recent post, I'll be a happy camper.)

Thanks for the good words, Roger, RibFan and old Wheelz. Cookshack and the folks on this forum are the best.

The unit has a digital count down timmer. T few the original set time you can breafly hit the cooktime button and it will display the original set time. It will allow you to set temps up to 300 deg.

THANKS GUYS I NEED TO SELL MY CS50 AND GET THIS.

Let me see if I have this right.. You set the timer for 15 hrs. and your target temp. as soon as the smoker reaches the temp. it goes to the "Hold" cycle EVEN if it only takes 12 hrs. .. Am I close ????

You are close! If you are using the probe, you won't set the timer, only the cooking temperature and the probe temperature. So if you want to cook at 225 degrees to an internal temperature of 195, it will cook until that 195 is reached, whether it takes 12 hours or 20, and as soon as it is reached it will drop to hold at 140.

Cayley

Will it stay at 140 degrees indefinitely in the hold cycle?

Yes, the smoker temperature will stay at 140 degrees until manually shut off, but we do not recommend holding for more than 8 hours, as it will start to affect the quality of the food.
