I took a day off work MA, PA the Wife & I took a trip to the CookShack factory. I had a chance to look at the Smokette 08&09, AmeriQue and the Model 50&55 we also took a tour of the factory seen the manufacturing process steps (from a distance due to safety reasons). We then viewed the packaging area I had a chance to look at a couple of the FastEddy models up close. After the tour and asking Karen Hoogendoorn there sales rep many questions examining the several smokers checking the size and comparing it to the room I had in the Van we had drove, I settled on a SM055. If you get a chance to stop by the factory I am sure they will be as helpful to you as they were to me.
When I got home we put the wheels on the smoker took out the racks put 2 pieces of hickory (supplied with the smoker) plugged it in and let it smoke to start the seasoning process. I am looking forward to cooking a Boston but and some ribs.
I hope your Father's Day will be as enjoyable and tasty as mine is going to be.
