    GOSM Co Update

    Not sure if they are totaly closed up. I see Walmart has the wide-body back in stock again. I also decided to risk ordering a couple spare parts on line w/ the CFM customer care center and they took about 3 weeks to get them to me. Thought it might be the time to get the extra shelf and couple...

    ...drivin me nuts!

    I have been using a 9" steel cake pan without any foil. I use small chunks 2-3" long and split roughly 1/2" by 1/2" and usually throw in some chips. I run 225-250 and never had them catch fire. It is not as heavy as cast iron so it does heat up pretty quick and I usually get smoke in 5-10 minutes.

    Smoked scallops wrapped in prosciutto

    I did some last weekend and brined them for ~30 minutes (added a dash of soy to the brine) and then wrapped in prosciutto. I had ones ~15 to a pound size. Smoked on mostly with cherry and a little oak and hickory at ~225 for about an hour. The folks that ate them loved them and said they liked...

    Tofu....Dear Lord!!!?

    A couple of the Chinese places by me use it in the twice cooked pork. It is really good and much firmer than you see in regular tofu almost meat like. Might have to buy a block of firm tofu and try it.

    GOSM Smoke Box Mod and TBS

    I bought a two pack of steel cake pans 9" and use them in my GOSM and use wood that is 3-4" long and split about the size of your finger or so. I pack the pan full and throw in any smaller chips and it keeps a nice TBS smoke w/o any billowing white clouds. I restock every 45-60 minutes and if...

    Help on Ribs

    I also had some fish be a little too heavy when it was on w/ pork and beef that I was running straight hickory. I now usually run oak and then mix hickory, cherry, apple and pecan depending on what meat is on there. When I do butts I run more Hickory and if I am putting some fish or chicken on...

    Kind of Newbie

    Hello all from NE Ohio. I have lurked for a while. I have been doing some smoking on and off for many years. Mostly during the 11 years I lived in SC. We also fried a lot of turkey. We used to fry them at work for holiday parties, sometimes 15-20 of them. We also used to have a great trailer w/...
