Expensive is relative, my Cookshack definitely cost more than my
1st Brinkmann, but I sure do enjoy the full night's sleep I get while
the butts/briskets do their thing. It doesn't use lump or ricks of
hardwood (4-8 oz. of chunks for smoke flavor), I can fire it up in the
dead of winter without dragging out the moving blankets and wind breaks.
Did I mention you get a full night's sleep? Your opinion may differ,
Your Mileage May Vary is another way of saying the same thing.

*Disclaimer* I don't work for Cookshack, but do like my smoker.
