Another Arkie here, in gorgeous Tumbling Shoals on Greers Ferry Lake. I've been log smokin' for several years, but with a 17-month old and another due at Christmas, my hands-on smoking time is just about non-existent, so I'm getting a CS smokette 008, which should be here tomorrow or Friday.
Can't wait to start using it!
(Is it normal to dream about your smoker?)

Hi, I just signed on, great web site. I have a question regarding brining a turkey. I have been doing this for years , great results,etc. My question is how far in advance, if at all, may one prepare the brine prior to the application on the bird???
Welcome jaru and golfbob!
jaru, we can certainly use your expertise and experience here.
golfbob, it should keep at least a couple weeks in the fridge.

I'm Denny and still a real novice. However I have a serious problem that just appeared.
I placed my fish inside and shut and locked the doors. Plug in and then hit the start button on my Model 160. There was the normal high pitch beep, but am getting no reading on the reader dial and annot get moving from there.
Any ideas on what I ahve done???
Desperate!!

Hey guys and gals, just got my very first smoker(Barrel type with side fire box) for Christmas (YES!!!), anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself and will read and search the forums before I start posting already asked questions..lol
My name is Bill (a.k.a. Airboss) and I live here in beautiful Bradenton, Florida. I got into smoke and que by way of my son Greg, who many of you may know as the site administrator for the BBQ-4-U board.
After 35 years of grilling I decided to wade into the que waters slowly. I purchased an inexpensive electric/H20 smoker to get a sense of what is involved. It was an education and the que wasn't that bad albeit a tad cumbersome and sort of messy when it came to clean-up.
I was visiting a friend in Dallas and he had just purchased his 008. I was amazed at the concept, configuration, ease of use and quality of the food he prepared. I guess the recent promo offering by Cookshack pushed it over the edge and on Christmas Day Mrs. Airboss surprised me with an email confirming my Smokette would be delivered on the 28th. To paraphrase, the rest is history in the making.
I love the site and appreciate all the help & advice here. Most of all, I'm glad you have all had the chance to meet me.

Hey Airboss - Welcome to the CS family and forum. Looks like I'm just down the road a bit from you in the southern part of Sarasota. After looking at the weather in the West and Plains States, it's pretty nice to have it at 85F and sunny on the day of New Years eve.
Got the very same Xmas gift 3 years ago at my house in Chicago. Picked up another one a year and a half ago, barely used, at an estate sale in Sarasota. I was driving by and saw something in the driveway that looked familiar. They were asking $100 but let me have it for $75. They were even kind enough to deliver it to my house since it was too big for my car.
Study the pinned thread "Lessons for new users" and follow the forum closely. You'll learn everything you need to know and more about the craft of smoking and BBQ.

Ran across this forum quite by accident while surfing the net. Yes, I use that "other" smoker, but I won't hold it against any of you CS owners. A lot of great info here!
