Cookshack was left out?

I saw this on another forume. Sorry.... But it's a real bummer that the person who wrote the article didn't mention any of the Cookshack line of products.

Top 10 Coolest BBQ Grills (And Then Some!)

And the SmokinTex's smoker did! I guess, it's who you know.

Amazing. I would put any Cookshack or Fast Eddy's smoker up against anything on this list, anytime, anywhere and we would win!

Well, I am compiling a list of the top 10 coolest websites. I regret to inform you that www.neatorama.com will not make that list. It tied for 1,048,837,611,391,945th.

I haven't even received my smoker yet (due to arrive this Monday I hope), but just reading the posts here of everyone really loving the way Cookshack smokers perform, I was somewhat displeased myself with another brand similar to the Cookshack, making the list. So everyone, take a deep breath and don't feel slighted about your Cookshack not making the list... and then posting your own comment on that blog at end of the article. But if you do... I understand.

Oh well, too late!! Looks like Donna beat the Cookshack owners to the punch. Way to go Donna!!! Great comment you wrote on their blog.

Unfortunately, Cookshack's high end smokers were omitted from the top ten, even though they are the standard by which most electric smokers are judged. (In fact, the Smokin' Tex smoker is a made-in-China clone of Cookshack's popular Smokette. Cookshack smokers are made in the USA.) The company's newest home smoker, the AmeriQue, is the most sophisticated smoker of its kind, with an electronic digital time and temperature controller, and a probe which guarantees meat cooked perfectly every time. I would put a Cookshack up against any smoker in this list!

to keep things in perspective, they are listing "cool" bbq grills...not the most functional or practical. My 055 did not come with a disco ball, plasma display, wi-fi connection, gps navigation or even floor mats. Therefore it is not considered cool. Now, if you check out other bbq 'top 10' lists like THIS one, you'll see that we made the cut.

Hey, jazzspot, you may want to go pick up some extra wood chunks and a good probe thermometer (or 3) while you're waiting for your smoker. Come monday, you'll have your hands full!

Well, I've got plenty of wood and lump (I still do use my Chargriller). Plus I got a couple of bags of wood I ordered from the CharcoalStore that I placed along with my 50 smoker order. I got two therms and I may buy me another one while I'm waiting for the delivery of my gift to myself. But many thanks for keeping an eye out for me!! Much appreciated.

Well you really can't take the list too serious. It is just to get attention.

Doing a great job isn't flashy.

BUT THEY HAVE TO BEAT THE PIG!!!

I hope this pic comes out...

My brothers and I made this water heater for a grill many years ago when I had my cabin up in the woods of West Virginia. We came up with this a very long time ago and worked great. We were only heating water for our showers and used a 42 gallon trash can. Water was hauled up from the river. worked great year round.
