SmokinTex and smokin-it history

[gregbooras]

When I looked for a new smoker both SmokinTex and Smokin-it showed up in my searches. They both looked very much a like, but the forum here was better and in the end I bought the #2.

But when I look at the design and features... they look almost the same. So my question, is was this one business that split or.....??

P.S. if this is old stuff or bad blood, please delete, the look and feel of the parts and design are just to close.

Chalk it up to coincidence?

So I compare this to Tesla vs. Einstein: The Ether & the Birth of the New Physics

By MARC J. SEIFER—

Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) was an electrical inventor, well known as a competitor of arch rival Tom Edison. Where Edison’s inventions include the light bulb, the microphone in the telephone and the phonograph, Tesla’s inventions include fluorescent lighting, the AC hydroelectric power system and wireless communication. Tesla is therefore mostly billed as an inventor.

The fact is, Tesla was also a physicist who studied in college such courses as analytic geometry, experimental physics and higher mathematics.1 In his early 1890s lectures at Columbia University, the Chicago World’s Fair and at Royal Societies in Paris and London, building on the ideas of Isaac Newton and Lord Kelvin, Tesla demonstrated and discussed the structure of atoms as being similar to solar systems and wave-like and particle-like aspects to what later became known as the photon. Colleagues he lectured before and corresponded with included many Nobel Prize winners like Wilhelm Roentgen, J.J. Thompson, Lord Raleigh, Ernst Rutherford and Robert Millikan and other scientists such as Elmer Sperry, Sir William Crookes, Sir Oliver Lodge, Lord Kelvin, Heinreich Hertz and Hermann von Helmholtz.

Elon Musk, new Tesla!


I saw the wink on the tex vs si.  I'll leave it at that.  I've always wondered and had a hunch.  I think I can guess the answer. 


Fine, dandy, years ago, move on, marketing works!

We all have our theories.  I've been going with 2 pissed off Cookshack employees left and opened Smokin-tex and Smokin-it, even if it isn't true.  LOL!

Maybe we should reference CookShack as CaddyCookShack.???  CCS?

Less the floater in the pool.

Happy Masters week for those golfing fans.

Keep smokin'

That's what happens when something is without a patent.

"See the ball, BE the ball.  Na na na na na na..."  Great reference!  Gonna be a great Masters!  Don't underestimate Tiger!

The good news we all picked the right smoker and bought from Steve.

May he continue to improve a really great product!
