    thermometer calibration

    I have a GOSM propane smoker. I tested the accuracy of the thermometer in the smoker door (both ice water and boiling water methods) and they were  spot on.  I also have a Taylor digital thermometer with a remote.  I read threads here in the forums about putting the probe through a...

    What A-Maze-N smoker works the best in gosm?

    Todd Johnson.  jimbo1 here.  I'd like to direct your attention to a thread I posted either 8/10/13 or 8/11/13 titled "No Pellet Smoke".  I won't go over it again since the history of my problem is there.  I read the posts a lot and gather that a lot of people have the same trouble I'm having...

    No pellet smoke

    I'm almost too embarrassed to post this.  I'm on my 6th day trying to get the pellets to smoke, working at it all day.  I have a GOSM 36" and am using ( in the beginning the oak pellets that came with the tray) and now a bag of bear Mountain pecan and a bag of cherry, both with an oak base...

    bad pellets?

    Thanks for the quick response.   I  have nuked them for 60 seconds and 90 seconds and baked them in the oven for 1 1/2 hours at 250 degrees.  As soon as I put them in the mail box they go out.  It's well vented.  There's a square hole under the pellet tray just a little smaller then the tray and...

    needle valve

    Dave.  Thanks for the advice.  The problem is, the rubber hose that came with the smoker is crimped at both ends in stead of threaded brass fittings.  I tried to remove the crimps but couldn't without damaging the hardware where the hose is terminated.  The new needle valve kit takes care of the...

    needle valve

    I have a gosm 36" smoker.  I want to install a needle valve but the terminations at the smoker and regulator (ends of hose) are crimp type connections and the needle valve assembly has a 3/8" flared swivel termination on the end of the stainless steel hose.  I think I can splice in to the the...

    No Smoke!!!

    No, I did not soak the chips.  Being new to smoking I wasn't aware there was that much of a difference.  I'll try chunks.  The exhaust vents were all set to the stop tabs as detailed in the instructions.  Better air flow makes sense.  I'll open them up.  I filled the wood box because that's what...

    No Smoke!!!

    I have a great outdoors smoky mountain propane smoker.  I seasoned it according to the directions, i.e. 225 for 2 hours and  filled the wood box with cherry chips.  Never did see any smoke out of the top vent.  After 2 hours the very bottom layer of chips was charred and the rest of the chips...
