Best Smoker Value
I spent a fair amount of time evaluating meat smokers and trying to
decide between the Cookshack SM008 and the SmokinTex 1300. My evaluation between these two smokers seemed like a wash. I even thought about building one since there really isn't much to a smoker. In the end, I wasn't sure that I needed something this expensive, and the stainless steel models seemed like overkill. Smoking meat was going to be an experiment and I wanted to start small and see if I would stick with it. It as then that I discovered the knock-off/clone model from Gordon. Here is my comparison of these three thermostatically controlled smokers. Model: Cookshack SM008, Black Dimensions: 16.5"x 19" x 24" high Made: US Watts: 500 Capacity: 30 lbs Cost: $465 Cold Plate: $45.95 Shipping: $10 Total: $521 URL: http://cookshack.radius3.com/shoppin....php?id=4&=SID Model: Smokin Tex #1300, Green Dimensions: W=17½" x D=21" x H=29" Made: China Watts: 700 Capacity: 33 lbs Cost: $474 Cold Plate: $46.50 Shipping: Free Total: $520.50 URL: http://www.smokintex.com/p_smokers.html Model: Gordon #90898, Periwinkle Dimensions: 17-3/16'' W x 21'' D x 25-1/16'' H Made: India Watts: 800 Capacity: 20 lbs Cost: $249 Cold Plate: Free Shipping: $10 Total: $259 URL: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=90898 I smoked a butt for the Superbowl in 30 degree temperatures and it came out beautifully! I'm very happy with this low-end smoker. |

This was also posted to rec.food.preserving, also the Cookshack forum, where his shill ass was immediately deleted. -- Reg |
