Wow - It's been 5 years!

Former Member

March 5th marked my 5th year as a proud and pleased owner of a Cookshack Smokette, and a member of "Cookshack Nation". From my humble beginnings smoking a http://www.lamaine.com/bbq/porkbutt.html, I've thoroughly enjoyed my Smokette and the priceless resource known as the Cookshack Forum. Help is always only a couple clicks away. Thanks Cookshack, and thanks to all the forum members (past, present and future) that make it easy.

To celebrate, I'm making some pastrami in the Smokette as I type! Life is good.

Thanks for your awesome adventures with your Smokette Dave.
Thats what convinced me to purchase one when I lived in the dreaded apartment complex for a year.
You have been very helpfull to an unknown amount of Cookshack owners.
Congrats on your anniversary.

Dave-

Certainly the most enjoyable (and valuable) list of cooking efforts I have read over the years, especially when starting out with my CS. I, like many others, would love to see some new work...????

Agreed. I'd also like to know how the weight is after Atkins. I'm getting ready to do the Atkins thing myself (again) sometime........

I must admit I fell off the Atkins wagon for a while, and gained some pounds back. I'm back on, and losing weight again. (and feeling a lot better)

I'm a type II diabetic. Despite what the Doctors and specialists tell me, the Atkins diet works the best for me. Your mileage may differ.

Oh, and by the way, thanks for the many kind comments.

I really hope to start posting more notes on my cooks, but I've been so friggin busy lately that I can't promise that will happen.

The best advice I can give is that if you've got a smoker, use it! Take good notes. Adjust the next time based upon those notes. And keep reading the suggestions on here. Lots of experience on this place. Heed it.

Dave -- I have thoroughly enjoyed your photojournalistic work & directed many a newbie to it. What you have posted lays the groundwork for many smoking projects. Thanks!

I, for one, certainly hope you do post some of your newer smoking adventures - soon!

Dave... Love your web page. Used the recipe for the goat cheese bird and it turned out well. Also have taken some of your ideals and went with them.

I lived in Orono for a year...so I know how those cold smokes are...nice to know that the smokette is still kicking.
