SKU: SM066 Smoker Oven, AmeriQue, with Digital Cook and Hold Controller

I bought one of these cookers ten years ago to supplement my Big Green Egg. What I love about this cooker is that it is so easy to use and the results are amazing. People think I’m the greatest cook ever, yet all the credit is due to this smoker. You can use the probe to cook until the meat is the desired internal temperature you want, then it will lower the temperature and hold it until you’re ready to take it off. This model will hold six Boston Butts. The turkeys I smoke during the holidays are so flavorful and juicy and easy to cook. You can also set the Cookshack to however many degrees you want and it will hold the temperature for as long as you want for things like ribs or fish. If anything ever happens to my Cookshack, I’m buying another! Five stars for sure!

We have owned this smoker for nearly 2 years now and have really enjoyed using it. We have done everything from lamb, turkey, every piece of pork that should be eaten, same for beef. We can definitely high recommend the AmeriQue and will enjoy it for some time to come. My favorite part is the ability to put the meat probe in, set the desired temp and if i get distracted, and the pork butt hits the magical 190, this beast drops the temps down so i don't accidentally over do it. I have 2 recommendations for improvement: 1. Add wifi capabilities and a graphing software so i can see and record my temps. As i teach my boys how to smoke meat, i'm training them to track the temps the probe shows and compare it to what the pro's recommend. This way they can compare themselves against either that or the plan we set out when we started. 2. There should be extra holes in this box for better cross ventilation. It is still difficult to get a good bark on certain cuts of meat, because it just stays too moist in the box itself. Probably the ability to have 2 small holes on the side and 2 on the top? All adjustable? Otherwise, that Thanksgiving Turkey doesn't really have crispy skin, unless i throw it on my Kamado. Likewise with the pork butt. Regardless, this has been very helpful when feeding 120 people about 50 pounds of pork butt and a huge time saver.

My Amerique provides the entire neighborhood with an appetite! I can easily smoke six pork butts or two large turkeys to perfection. I have a wild cherry thicket that provides me with a continuous supply of fruit wood or can mix with mesquite or oak for variety. I have only had to replace the thermostat in the twelve years I've owned it. It is, quite truly, built like a "brick outhouse" by a dedicated group of craftsmen. I visited the factory and was totally impressed with the workmanship and love that goes into each unit.

Keeps perfect temp while being able to control how much smoke flavor you desire!!! Easy Breezy, have been using cookshack smokers for 20 years!!

I purchased an SM066, AmeriQue Smoker a few years ago. The quality was great and the customer service is second to none. I would recommend that Cookshack consider a higher power heater in the future to allow the peak temperature to go a bit higher. It is so convenient to be able to use the meat probe and allow the cooking process to continue without having to repeatedely open the door to monitor the cooking. Great Smoker!
