I just want to give a shout out to the fine folks at Cookshack. My new (used) smoker arrived on Thursday and its been running constantly ever since. Hopefully this is the end of running out and disappointing people.
Is there any difference in taste, you ask. I think the briskets are smoking more evenly unlike before where the bottom ones would be far smokier than those on top. However, there is a huge difference in the texture and juiciness of the meat. If you liked us before, you’ll love us now.
In fact, I was slicing sandwiches at a private function on Sunday and I was amazed at the number of people who hovered around my cutting board as well as those who came back for seconds and thirds. Even the ultra-thin, ultra-chic crowd had more than a few nibbles (no bread of course). The comments? If my over-inflated ego wasn’t in jeopardy of bursting from all the wonderful press I’ve been getting (apparently we’re one of 200 reasons T.O. rocks according to Now) I’d tell you more. Suffice to say: they almost cleaned me out of food and I brought plenty.
If Cookshack be the fruit of love: smoke on. That was for you Mr. Pelech.
