I just bought my CS smokette over the weekend at Cabelas. Got a smoking deal on it with their club days discount.
I haven't even got it out of the box yet (busy weekend) but plan on getting it out tonight and getting it set up for the break in smoking. Hoping to try some ribs and brisket this weekend. I have some test dummies lined up to be my guinea pigs. I've been doing a lot of reading in here and searching for some things, trying to get up to speed on my techniques. I also bought a remote thermometer because the one thing I've learned so far is that "its done when it's done". I've also printed most of Okie's 101 manuals off as starting points.
I've been tinkering with smoking meat for several years now with a brinkman charcoal smoker and never really been happy with the results, so I'm looking forward to using the CS and making some descent BBQ.
