cookshack amerique

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 140ยฐ to 300ยฐ. 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.

Two year Warranty, 30 day money back guarantee.

grouchy?

1) Please try the search box at the top of every page before you ask for help.

2) Try to post your question to the appropriate page.

3) Tell us everything we need to know to help such as the type of cooker and thermometer. Dial thermometers are often off by as much as 50ยฐF so if you are not using a good digital thermometer we probably can’t help you with time and temp questions. Please read this article about thermometers.

4) If you are a member of the Pitmaster Club, your comments login is probably different.
