Definately a rookie smoker here. Located in Ankeny, IA, but orginally from Minnesota. Moved to more serious BBQ territory.

I currently own a Masterbuilt 7 in 1, but I'm in the market for something more substantial. I like what everyone has to say about the GOSM, but I'm 6'6" and would prefer a horizontal I could stand over. The GOSM seems so low to the ground. My ideal find would be a horizontal combination gas grill will side gas smoke box. From what I see, I'd have to make my own using a conversion kit.

Well, nice to meet everyone. Looking forward to a summer filled with some good BBQ!
 
IT'S ANOTHER HAWKEYE!!!!!
Welcome, glad you found us.
Head over to Hawgeyes BBQ to see some horizontals, thats where i got mine.
 
nice to see ya hawkeye...i am also thinking about gettin a gosm but i have the same problem the smoker to low to the ground am i am 6'5" ..so what i thought i could do is build a cinder block stand and put the smoker on that..well see if that will work...well anyway welcome to smf lot of good people and good ideas.....

Welcome to the smf, hawkeye. Definitely the best place to learn lots. Loads of good advice and friendly people. I wish i would of found this site sooner !!!!
 
Welcome to the SMF, this is the place to enjoy your smokin' experiences, good and bad. Looking forward to your next smoke, and Q Voew too!
 
Welcome aboard HawkeyeSmoker................You might want to looking to the Char-griller Duo............Its a gas grill and a charcoal horizontal grill/smoker and you can add the side fire box to the charcoal side of the unit..............Not sure the price.........I know Pigcicles has one.....you could ask him about it if your interested in it.....I just bought Char-grillers new gas Grillin' Pro and that you can also add the sfb to it and smoke using charcoal................
 
Welcome aboard and glad to have ya! My GOSM is a bit close to the ground for my liken as well, I'm goin to build a platform for it to sit on (If the weather would be so kind as to cooperate a little) so it is easier to use. Very good unit in my opinion. Good luck in your search!
 
I've bought wood chunks at Hawgeyes, and if I remember correctly, their units were a little out of my pricerange. Mind if I ask what you have???
 
A guy at work bought the Char-griller Duo, but I think he plans to mostly grill on it. I took a look at one at Menards, but I was a little uneasy about the construction. The price is great! I'd be interested in hearing anyone's opinion on that model. I realize it's a new model, so it's possible there aren't many out there yet.
