Introduce Yourself -- Time for a CS RollCall

Smokin's gonna tell us this is not the place to be discussing whatever it is we're discussing, LOL

GLH asked the right questions. I always say, "go for whatever you can afford." You'll not be disappointed with a CS smoker!

Hi i am smokeyone a 51 yr old kid w/ wife, kids,& grandkids. i love the Lord because He first loved me and has blessed me in so many ways
i have had charcoal bullet, gas bullet, and a Good One charcoal both charcoal models did a good job but basicly i don't like being tied down to the smoker i would rather be fishing , hunting, riding my cruiser walking around the sporting good stores, sleeping, ect. so last weekend i bought a 50 at cabela's did my secound smoke (chicken ) yeasterday for Mom's birthday party this thing works great

Welcome to the forum smokeyone Congrats on your purchase. You'll love your CS.

Couldn't agree with you more. God is awesome!!!

Sorry about the late response. I was sitting on the beach for a week.

I think I want an electric heated wood smoke model. Ease of use is very important to me. Although, I definitely want to cold smoke.

The main purpose of the smoker will be to smoke bacon, sausage, hams, etc. So, it will not be an issue of how many people I'm cooking for.

Price is always an issue. I have plenty of money but I am very conservative when it comes to spending money on hobbies.

Assuming the SM009 does what I'm looking for I would most likely start there- unless I am convinced I should go a different direction.

Hi gang,
I am John and the closest town to me is Dodge City, Kansas. I am new to smoking and have purchased a Traeger pellet grill. I have a grandson in KC now so will try to get to know the BBQ places there.

Welcome, smokeyone and JohnWayne!

Tom, I believe you are correct, the 009 stainless Smokette sounds right for you.

susan from batesville arkansas.i have owned my small sst. cookshack for 2 years and enjoy it for the most part.chicken,ham,ribs turn out wonderful,but the boston butts not to brag about.trying another on today!wish me luck ...
susan

Susan:
Why don't you tell us what prep you use for the butts and how you cook them? I've had my smokette for 2 years too and I think butts are almost better than the ribs. Pulled pork... yum!

My guess is you aren't cooking them to a high enough temp. Gotta use a remote therm and get them to 195* internal for pulled pork BBQ.

I just took the plunge- 008, cart, cover, cold-smoke baffle and jerky rods. Let the games begin.

Welcome, Tom, and thank you for your business. We will do our best to make you a satisfied customer.

Way to go TomC! Congratulations to you on a very wise purchase! Welcome to the forum! You wil find lots of info here and will not regret your choice. You pretty much have the same setup as me. I also have the chili-grill and ribhooks. If your indoor oven has one of those enamel coated broiler pans, it will slide nicely between the Smokette and the cart and it is heavy enough to stay, barring a 'nader or such, which I doubt you will have there.

Hi, I am Loyd from Washington NC living on a sailboat and just started smoking. I have used my Weber gas grill a lot and several pig pickins in the traditional NC way down east. My Amerique arrived in early August. It has to be one of the best purchases I have ever made. It is sure to make new friends at the marina here. Thanks to all in the forum and SmokinOkie!

Welcome to the forum, Loyd, and congrats on your wise purchase!

Jump right in!

Hi, I am Richard. Born and raised in Oklahoma but have been in the Shreveport area for about 13 years now. I am new to the smoking thing but have a good time with it. This forum is great for someone like me.

Tarheel50 here!
Been a Cookshack Crazy for 3 years! Have a Model 55 and been smokin ever since! Enjoy the forum and all of Cookshack's help in producing the best "Q" around!

Welcome Richard! We are glad to have you here.

Hi tarheel50, good to see you back and posting.

Hi I'm Jim from Weymouth, MA. I got hooked on real BBQ in the late 60's or early 70s. Interstate 95 wasn't complete and went through Fayetteville NC. There was a small white building that made the best pulled pork. From there we stopped at every Stuckies on the way to and from Key West.

I've been smoking for close to 30 years now and just ordered a CS 55 today. I'm getting to old to be burning sticks.

Wecome Jim! You are definitely older than me!

hey all not sure about the site yet please forgive me for bumbling around for a little bit.
