    My First use of the Cookshack Smokette

    This was my first run with the Smokette Elite with two Baby Back Rib racks loaded, although I think the meat source cheated a bit and got into spare ribs territory.  I used mesquite with ribs and rubbed with K.C. Rub from About.Com ( a lot of brown sugar, then Paprika, then the usual other stuff...

    What size image for QView?

    Thank you Dave, and Mdboatbum.  Now I understand what Cat meant by small, medium, or large.  I would assume that Dave's 600 x 800 would more or less come in as "medium".  Much appreciated! Julian

    What size image for QView?

    Thanks, Kat.  And much appreciated.  Could you put a pixel count (or size in inches width x height) to what you are designating as "medium"?  If not, I'll wing it. Julian (homerargo)

    I have images for my first attempt at ribs, my first whole chicken, smoked salmon filet, and a recipe with image for smoked tomato soup with basil oil topping (I'm smoking the tomatoes as I write this at the same time as the smoked salmon). I have photoshop, and can send these images at any...

    I mentioned Cape Cod.  That's Orleans, MA, and I live on the salt waterfront on the upper reaches of Pleasant Bay.  Cape Cod, while not huge, does have at least two quite different micro-climates, particularly in the winter when we tend to be a bit warmer than the Sandwich area.

    Thermoworks question.....

    The Thermopen is a great piece of equipment that simply does not seem to have anything that goes wrong with it, even after years of use.  I like it that the potentially delicate point folds away.  If you want a Thermoworks product, this is in my opinion worth the price.  I have not tried the...

    I grew up in west Texas, did academic things at Harvard, Oxford and B.U., then became an art dealer, and have been retired from that for a bit over seven years.  Parents lived in New Braunfels, Tex. after retiring, and I loved the Guadaloupe Smoke House while it was still there.  I currently...

    Cookshack Smokette Elite Model SM025 or Smokin Tex 1400 or Smokin it #2

    After researching the reviews for my last answer, I couldn't stand it and ordered a Cookshack Smokette Elite model SM025.  It should arrive on this Thursday or Friday.  So I put my money where my mouth was!

    The Smokette is made in the USA.  The other two are made in China. Also check recalls.
