That Ain't Right...

Former Member

I proudly purchased an Amerique in December. Stand, cover, SS grates. Figured if I was going to do it, do it right. Love it. Guests love the Q, and as I'm sure many find, become intrigued with the equipment and process. My brother in law decided (while savoring the controversial "Incredible Brisket Recipe", by onesharpbroadhead), he had to have one. Being smarter than me, was going to find a used smoker, preferably Cookshack. Good luck, I thought.

I noticed one for sale in Syracuse. Long story short- it was a 2005 sm150. Barely looked used, amazing condition. He's in Maine, so I grabbed it for him. 450 bucks! C'mon, why didn't I find that for me? First he marries my little sister, now this....

I paid $1400.00 for mine and I felt like a genius,, still do every time I used it. I talked a buddy of mine into buying a 2008 SM160 for $1500.00 and now he thinks he's Einstein !! LOL.

Well tell your BIL he owes you...
Welcome aboard

WOW I do feel silly. I paid full price for new last year. Don't regret it, but this does hurt a bit

I am still looking for a deal on an FE100. Just gotta be patient.

Well it's not fair comparing deals on USED gear (and the inherent risk of buying used) with new prices. I'm a guitar player, love me my guitars. Should I feel it's not fair that some buddy of mine on a guitar collector BB scored a '59 Les Paul for $1000.00 from some old lady whose son left it in it's case under the bed when he went off to 'Nam in '68. No... It just happens every once in a while. New is new. Used is used, though witha Cookshack used is a subjective term because they are so simple and sturdy and just doggone well built. Never owned something with such fit and finish.

I told you I paid 450, but we never discussed how much I'd sell it to you for. Looks to me like 1,450 might be fair! That includes sparerib dinner.
