    Another Newb Smoker to be.

    Ribs are done and gone. We had company that my wife invited and all the ribs were eaten. I did get rave reviews on them though. I forgot to take pictures.

    Another Newb Smoker to be.

    I picked up my GOSM at Target night before last. Put it together and seasoned it yesterday. Today I am cooking 2 Slabs of ribs. Should be ready in about 1 1/2 hours. I sure like the way it holds your temp at the right place.

    My First Smoke!!!

    Got the smoker set up and seasoned then yesterday I did my first smoke. I did 2 whole chickens. I soaked them in brine with salt, sugar, and apple juice for 8 hours. I then rubbed chickens with honey mustard then a rub from a friend. Built fire in side box and leveled off temps to 250 degrees...

    Seasoning a new smoker

    Does it matter what kind of wood you use in the seasoning stage??? I have lots of hackaberry from Rita. I am going after lots of oak and masquite this weekend.

    Seasoning a new smoker

    Say I got a new smoker (Char-Broil Silver Series) Now it is all assembled. What do I need to do to season it? Do I use vegtable oil or mineral oil? How hot of a fire do I need? How long do I keep it burning? Thanks If I think of anything else I will post up. Bobby
