New Smoker

Hey Jasper,

I too have a GOSM so here's my advice, on seasoning.

1) Chunks. Soaking seems to be a matter of personal preference. Get rid of the original smoker box and use a cut down coffee can or loaf pan (just make sure it is not non stick)
2) I used Pam (canola oil variety) and it turned out fine
3) season it like you were using it 225*-260*
4) hour or hour and a half should be fine under thin blue smoke and then throw a couple of fatties on there to really break her in!

Make sure you head on over to Roll Call and introduce yourself, that way everyone can give you a big warm SMF welcome!

Good luck, and let us know if you have more questions!

Absolutely you can using it! Git 'er done, son!
