Hi,
I'm aebayrunner. I'm a rookie to the smoke cooking art. I just inherited a Smokette MN008 from my dad. I don't think he used it more than a couple of times. This smoker is like new. Anyway, I plan on using it continuously. I'm no stranger to "Q" being a NC native. However, I don't have any experience or knowledge of this type of smoke cooking. I am really glad to see this forum and all the people/talent here. Looking forward to great conversation and better eats.

The is thebigticker (my given nickname...long story!) Very glad to be here and always looking to live and learn.
Residing in Sunny South Dakota, I'm having fun raising 3 boys and 2 labs (yes they are males too) with a very understanding wife. We love to camp, hunt rudy roosters and deer, fish for walter walleye and I LOVE TOO COOK.
My experience to date has been with the charcoal and gas weber and campfires cranking out steaks and ribs and campfires chasing perfection of hash and walleye. I've managed to crank out some chin drippn finger lickn good ribs on the charcoal weber...but looking forward to the next step in the living and learning process and graduating to the world of smoking.
I love the idea of acheiving ribdreamdom on the CS AmeriQue and looking forward to PB n Brisket.
Still haven't called Karen to order the Q...don't know what I-m waiting for...my sphincter must be tightening up with age and tough to part with the cash. I've got a line on a slightly used AmeriQue but trying to identify the value of opening the box, assembly and putting the season to a virgin of my very own.

Howdy from the great Rocky Mountains. I've been lurking the forums for a couple of months now, researching different smokers. After finally deciding on a Cookshack, I'm now going through the mental exercise of deciding on which one, so stay tuned... I'll hopefully have one before football season begins.
Hello,we are Jerry and Robin from northern Virginia just outside Washington, DC. While looking at electric smokers I came across the Cookshack forums and knew I had to have a Cookshack, and like many others fretted over which model to get. I knew I really only needed a 025, but wanted the extra capacity reserve offered by the 045. As I searched I was able to get a good deal on a CS040 which arrived last Friday.
On Saturday I seasoned it (took three tries to get the element touching the smoke box correctly) and then did the traditional Pork Butt first smoke. Following the 101 forum and using Smokin Okie's finishing sauce the results were nothing short of fantastic!!!
And so the adventure begins. I've been reading the various forums and know that PB 101 had a lot to do with my initial success. I know that by reading and learning from other's problems and successes and keeping it simple will keep us in fine Que for many years to come.
This is a great forum and I know I'll be posting questions from time to time as I stub my toe and need help.

Welcome Mike. Please share your experiences. We'd all benefit from that.
Hi, my name is Harris and I am from Maryland. I love smoking and have been doing it for a while. I am the type of person, that no rub or recipe I come up with is a secret. I do it for the pleasure of making great food, and love to share with my fellow enthusiasts. I have a blog as I try different things with the smoker. The Cookshack is my first electric, and to say I am stoked is an understatement.

Hi, I'm from Cape Cod. Had to sell my old cookshack smoker with a business but just got my hands on a new Amerique.
If you get a chance to have some fresh bluefish, smoke it with a little hickory, having put salt and pepper on. Then serve it (cold) with a sauce on the side made of 1/2 mayo and 1/2 mustard.

My name is Bud, bought my first Cookshack around 2001 and haven't looked back, added the second about 5 years ago.
I love cooking and smoking and always looking for something different to try.
I fish but don't hunt, love seafood and would love to hear from anybody with new tips and recipes.

New to the site, been reading for about two weeks, and my account got activated yesterday.
Fell in love with the Amerique and ordered one after seeing the Holiday Smoker Discount deal posted over the Thanksgiving weekend. Called and talked to Karen on last Monday Nov 29th, she said the smoker would ship the next week. Got an email last Friday Dec 3rd, that the Amerique was shipping on Dec 6th and ETA Dec 9th, can't wait for it to get here.
I have never done any smoking, my buddy does and I have watched over is shoulder a lot and have always wanted to, but didn't have the time to watch the temp and add charcoal/wood. Well the Amerique is just what I needed.
Going to go to Wegmans today to look at meat and talk to the butcher about getting a good brisket or pork butt. My buddy suggested "Two Fat Guys Butcher" in Front Royal, Va. But it's to far to drive this week, so next time I go to his house I will call before hand and have them order me some meat. But he said Wegmans should have good meat too.
am sure I will have some questions, but trying to find answers before asking.
One thing I haven't seen is whether the Rib Racks are really needed. I ordered two as an after thought and was just wondering if I really need them.
Can't wait to get my first meat smoking, I am thinking a Brisket. Would really like Ribs, but it seems they are not a good first cook. from what I have read.
Thank You

Welcome aboard. You should be able to lay 3 racks of baby backs/loinbacks on each shelf of the Amerique. I haven't seen a need for the rib racks.
Hello All. I'm Russ from Southern California (winter) and NW Washington (summer). My smoking experience has been out at the Olympic Penninsula on the shores of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, where my wife and I have fished for salmon for many years. It's been somewhat of a fish camp setting, and we've gone through several Little Chief smokers, smoking salmon of course. There's always been an element of luck in our efforts. The weather there limits the effectiveness of a Chief, so we've decided to move up, way up, to a Cookshack. I believe it could withstand the wind, rain, fog, humidity, coolness and coldness of the West End. Since reading the Forum I've become interested in smoking more than fish. My brother and sister-in-law are certified barbeque competition judges ( They judged at Scottsdale.), so maybe they've had some influence on my decision. I've sure learned a lot by reading the forums. Thanks for the education.
Hey all. Donny here in NC. New to this style of cooking Q. Been lurkin here for 5/6 months, trying like a lot of others to decide which smoker to buy. Finally decided Dec 11 and ordered a AmeriQ. Have really enjoyed reading all the info of the experts and nubees. look forward to getting to know many new friends and their advice here
Welcome all.
I'm Bill, known as cookinpig and a new owner of a AQ. It was delivered Fri., seasoned Sat. and cooking a butt this afternoon. I was probably more excited about the delivery than my neighbors since the delivery truck tore down the tv cable line in our addition. I am not worried. Once I invite them for some great smoked meat they will forgive me. Thanks for the forum and all the information. Look forward to many years of great food from my AQ.
