Cookshacks are the gold standard for electric smokers. The AmeriQue, (French readers please note it is pronounced Ah-mair-ee-Q), has a 1000 watt 7 amp heating element, with a temperature range of 140° to 300°. Set the time and temp for cooking with its digital timer/thermostat and use the digital probe to determine when the meat is done. When the desired internal meat temp is reached, the controller will drop down into a hold mode.
Impressively solid, it is stainless steel and very well insulated so it does not get very hot on the outside. Outside dimensions are 20.5″ wide x 21.5″ deep x 39″ high. It comes with four 14″ x 18″ nickel-plated shelves and they say it has a 50 pound capacity. With rib racks they claim you can fit 18 baby backs and 12 St. Louis cut slabs in. Wheels make it easy to move. You can also buy a cover, more racks, a seafood rack, jerkey rods, and a baffle that helps if you want to cold smoke. Comes with 5 pounds BBQ smoking wood, a small cookbook and operator’s manual.
