Ordered another #3
« on: June 24, 2013, 08:21:28 PM »
Howdy. I just ordered a #3. I like the double latch and the longer extension cord. I have had a #3 for over a year now and it has never let me down.

I am a global moderator on another forum and I would like to share my out of box review when I first received it. Most people couldn't believe how nice it was and I told em if you want Cookshack quality at a very fair price...get yourself a Smokin-it.

To the moderators, I apologize for the link to another forum, but I would like everyone to see the older style #3 and the improvements that have been made.

Two #3's???  That's an embarrassment of riches.  :)

My first one is being sold to a neighbor along with a 18.5 Weber I don't use anymore.....worked out good.

So which feature convinced you to buy a new one and sell the old one....the 2 latches?

With the larger door, the two latches are a great idea. The longer cord will be a big help and I can get rid of the extension cord.

...Like the neighbor who isn't satisfied with just "one" Porsche!  Some of us are in awe!  lol  I checked out the link, and can see the difference in the door.  Good move, Smoke!

Cool!  I bought mine late last year, and I didn't know the old one only had one latch.  Still loving mine!

My new #3 with the double door latches is a big improvement over the single latch system. Not one wisp of smoke leaks out of it.......nice.....

Just curious...any other differences besides the 2 latches?

The logo around the temperaure knob has been re-done and is in color. I just wish they could get the Smokin-it logo etched a little deeper in the front door so it can be seen better....other than that, it is exactly the same....hey, if it aint broke, don't fix it.. ;D
