My new SM045 Arrives Tomorrow :)

yep,

I have learned that this forum is an actual reflection of the kind of company that CS is. It is very caring, sharing,and friendly environment.

So with that in mind and also seeing that you admitt to having a Queing backgroud. Isn't there a recipe that you would care to share with Pags and me?

Everyone would be more than happy to bare with another Newbie recipe and that would be friendly of you.

Have FUN with that new smoker of yours and good Queing to you!

Well,,, I have been smoking for many years but that smoking has been limited to smoking jerky, fish and poultry but my recipes are really not that much different than some of the recipes that I ran across when doing all my research on this forum so I don't really have any recipes to share that would be "new" to anyone. I've never gotten into smoking beef and pork and have no experience with them but I'm looking forward to giving these cuts of meat a go in my new smo45 and will gladly be sharing my successes,,, and failures ,,,, with the forum. I'm really looking forward to trying out some of the recipes I've gotten off of this forum.

Cookshack just called and said it is on back order for six months. Ha! Ha! JK!

Looks like you will be busy. Good luck with it. Actually Cookshack takes most of the luck out of the equation. Welcome aboard. The more the merrier.

It arrived late yesterday, in the pouring rain, so I placed it in my shed and didn't get a chance to unpack it and check it out until this morning. The box appeared to be undamaged but I did find 2 dents in the back of the smoker down near the bottom of the unit on the corners where the side panels meet the back panel, one dent on each side. I was disappointed but the dents aren't to bad and don't seem to have affected the overall structural integrity of the unit so I'm not going to worry about it. The rest of the smoker is fine. I still have it in the shed because it's still raining but tomorrow I'll put it on the deck, fire it up to make sure the electronics weren't damaged when it got dented. If all is well I'll season it and start cooking

Congratulations, L.I.H. I just ordered an Amerique, so I'm excited too. But they told me it won't ship until next week, most likely, since the meat probes are on back order.

Congrats to you SkipQ. I wanted to get the Amerique but my available funds just wouldn't permit it so I went with the Super Smoker.... It seems big enough to suffice my needs so it worked out ok.

Congrats to you both. You will love the units.
Ask questions and take good notes!!!
