I am a newbie to smokin' BBQ and I am in the final stages of research before buying a smoker. When comparing the CS 009 vs. the Smokin' Tex Pro 1400, they visually are almost identical. The 1400 however comes std. with 5 shelf positions, plus 4 grills and 1 seafood grill, whereas the CS on has 3 shelf positions and 3 grills std. The 1400 is a bit larger (38 lbs. of meat vs. 20-25 for the CS) and it has a 700w element vs. a 500 in the CS, and both have the same warranty. One is for sale at Cabela's and one is for sale at Bass Pro. The 1400 is $579 and the 009 is $565.
I'd love to hear your thoughts...
