    ISO Great Outdoors Smokey Mountain gas smoker - or best equivalent

    I just found one on OfferUp and got it for $75 with a full tank of propane. It hadn't been used in years, and looked like the racks had never been cleaned, but with a little elbow grease and Rustoleum High Heat paint, it looks pretty good now. I had the standard size years ago, but left it in...

    Has anyone smoked a Duck?

    My buddy has purchased a duck and we were wondering if anyone had smoked a duck before.  If so, what seasoning did you use and what temperature did you cook it to?  We were thinking of putting a pan of potatoes, cut for frying, under the duck to catch the fat.  Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    Taylor programmable Probe with remote powering off too early

    I found out it has an auto off feature that turns it off after 30 minutes if there is no change in temp.  Guess I'll have to look for another unit.

    Taylor programmable Probe with remote powering off too early

    I have a Taylor programmable probe with remote that shuts itself off after about 30 to 40 minutes.  Very frustrating to have to go to the smoker every little while to start the probe again.  Anyone else having that issue?  Oh, it's the Connoisseur model. Thanks

    Wood Chips on Fire

    Boy, were you guys right about the temp gauge on the smoker! Mine is showing 160 or so, and my probe shows 225. No wonder my wood was burning. Thanks again.

    Wood Chips on Fire

    Thanks for the help, everyone. I will get an oven temp gauge. For today, i will use a meat thermometer, but not in the ribs, so I can check the internal temp of the smoker.

    Wood Chips on Fire

    I poured some water in the wood box. It steamed a little while and is smoking again.

    Wood Chips on Fire

    Smoking some ribs today, but when my GOSM gas smoker got up to 225 degrees, my wood chips started burning. I soaked them in water a good half hour before starting. This is the second time this has happened. Am i using the wrong chips (hickory from Lowes) or is it possible that the temp gauge...
