Didn't know Cookshack existed and was waiting for an upcoming sale at Bass Pro Shop to buy what would have been an inferior smoker. Just before I was to commit with BPS, I remember my wife telling me that her boss brought a smoker about a year prior and that he had nothing but praise for the quality of the product that it produced.
It turns out that he has the Cookshack Smokette 020 and he recommended the 025 because of the temperature probe. He has purchased several thermometers and all have failed.
I checked out Cookshack's website and ordered the Smokette 025 on May 12, (three days before they went on sale). The smoker arrived in four days but the box had a hole in it. I got a sick feeling, in my stomach, as I lifted the smoker out of the packing box. The rear corner was buckled, not too bad, but I was afraid to keep it so I called UPS and it was picked up the next day.
I check this website daily and learned a lot, but I caution one not to read just before bedtime, as I found my mouth watering and I couldn't go to bed without a snack.
My smoker should arrive on Tuesday (today is Sunday) and my enthusiasm at work, developed for the Smokette from reading the website, has two potential customers already lined up. I think they want to "taste the product" first.
