Hello Gretchen, I have 2 cookshack smokers. One is a Smokete, the other is a CS 150. The 150 works well for me as far as smoking salmon. Ive done several batches this year and it all turned out great. Mine doesnt have the probe but I just use Polder type thermometers and run the cable thru the vent hole. Im not sure how much food you smoke and for how many folks. A call to Cookshack tomorrow would probably awnser a lot of your questions.
Ive also smoke a heck of a lot of jerky in my 150 also, as well as cheese.

Not to be the wet blanket here, but...some people only cold smoke fish, and I have read hot and cold reviews (no pun intended) as to the CS's effectiveness for this. Hard core cold smokers may be more interested in a Bradley-type smoker, that can smoke w/o heat.
That having been said, I am extremely happy with my CS, and would highly recommend it for everything else.
Hey Gretchen, I had a luhr Johnson BIG CHEIF (little tin box with a hot plate) for years. The only porpuse was for fish, it did a nice job. Very weather sensitive however. I upgraded this year to a 009. It does a great job. I looked hard at the bradly and the st but opted for the 5 rack cs 009. I did cheat and bought cold smoke plate at the st web site they told me they are leftovers from when they use to sell cs before they went to china?? A good value never the less. What I'm tyrying to say is just buy the cookshack.Its a lot of fun!!
