Howdy! After several months of "lurking", I finally ordered a CS model 50 yesterday. It would be hard for me to think that I haven't read every word on the CS website at least twice, maybe more. I feel like I know some of you personally, and I have to admit, I've never seen a better bunch of folks on any forum I have ever visited. How could I not buy a Cookshack? I have tried offsets, watersmokers, and smoking on my 17 year old Char-Broil 860, with decent, but inconsistent results. From what I have read, I expect that to change very soon. I am not sure of the exact arrival date, but since I am only about 100 miles from Ponca City, I would assume that my smoker will be here Tuesday or Wednesday. I gotta tell ya, I feel like a kid a few days before Christmas. I know that a lot of you have said that ribs are not the best choice for a "first" smoke, but that is what it is going to be. IMHO, nothing better on the menu than baby back ribs! It will be next weekend before I smoke em', but I will let you know how they turned out. My sincere thanks to all of you for the many hours of reading and learning that I have already enjoyed!!
