price of 08 ?

I could be wrong but I don't think Cookshack is going to under sell the distributors that they sell their units to.

??

They're all from the same company. Pricing varies and if you get it from them direct or not, it's the same unit.

CS probably won't give a specific explaination about the pricing model they use and we'd all just be guessing.

Research your price like you did and buy the best value.

Only real difference might be freight costs or return policy of different companies.

Check this site out. The price of the 008 is $397.00 . This is where I purchased mine.

Where did you end up getting your cookshack from?? Cookshack or the other website for $397. I am getting ready to finnally pull the trigger myself, and looking for the best route. Thanks for the help.

Thanks,

Make sure you call and check availability before you order the 397 one. . . i called and found out that it wouldnt' be delivered for approx 3 weeks. I bought mine directly from cs.

Last Thursday I purchased a Smokette 009, chili holder, and seafood tray through Cookshack. I also had the unit converted for 220 VAC because I live in Germany. Yes they charged me for the conversion. Yesterday, I called Cookshack because I found the 009 much cheaper at www.americasbestbbq.com and I felt cheated. After a thorough discussion, the nice sales lady added a cover for free to my order. Bottom-line is to do your homework and talk to Cookshack if you have any questions or concerns. They want to sell you a unit and make you a happy customer.

It's great to see a company take care of you like that!

You guys are making me laugh, trying to find a better deal for a few dollars instead of dealing direct with CS. We've had more than a few posts about other company's cost, shipping, delays, lack of service.

All in all, if you go direct to CS, we can certainly vouch for your response. If you go through another dealer, while you will get a CS smoker, I don't know how hard or easy they are to deal with.

And besides, if you call CS, you never know what deal they might have going

If you are going with another company, I'd check the forum to see what others might have to say:
