My-merique is ordered!

Former Member

I pulled the trigger yesterday and ordered my Amerique. Scoping out my back yard for the best location to set up a Smoke Shack.
Any advice on keeping the inside clean will be appreciated.
Also, I need any designs for a sturdy moveable stand to get it across the yard. Wife is concerned about smoke staining the house if it's too close.
I look forward to my first cook on it. I

'll post some pics, good or bad.

The FIND at page top should give you discussions and pix from past threads.

The NEW USERS area should give you all,and what little you need, about cleaning.

This would be a great time to be reading the Smokin'Okie 101 s,and the individual product forums.

That way,you'll have specific questions, we can help you with.

I keep mine fairly close to the house and don't worry about staining it. Not a lot of smoke comes out of the Cookshacks to make it much of a concern. If you knew how anal I could be about that kind of stuff, you wouldn't worry about it.

One of mine has been sitting in a corner between a chimney and a wall for about 6 years. It gets used almost daily, and there are no stains.

Have you gone to the "show us your setup" thread in the open forum section? It'll give you some ideas.

My Amerique and grill are on my covered porch right outside the kitchen and dining room. There aren't to many smoke stains but I'm sure proud of the ones I have!

What's the word on the use of extension cords? I know Masterbuilt doesn't recommend them.

BTW, congrats on that great smoker.

Might want to start a new thread with that question.

Loooks like I'm going to have to hire an electrician to install an exterior outlet so can put the Am-Que somewhere I'd be comfortable and out og the sun. I might just build a Taj Ma-Smoke-Hall

While we are on set-up, anybody know any commercial storage sheds that fit the amerique? I am getting ready to enclose mine, and I am such a crappy carpenter that I would rather spend my money on plastic than wood.
Unless of course someone has drawn up some plans...

Check out the show us your smoker set-up thread, a couple of people there have done just that.
