    Grilled Fresh Pineapple on the Half Shell

    I usually do pineapple on my natural gas grill. I take a whole pineapple and slice off the skin and then slice the pineapple into 1/2" slices. After I have it sliced I core it using a clean plastic 35mm film cannister. It is the perfect size.I then take a cup of corn syrup (The dark) and a cup...

    I did 2 yardbirds today

    I decided last week to toss a chicken into the smoker this weekend. So after work friday night I swung by the store to pick one up. They had packages of 2 - 3lb'ers so I figured I'd grab that and toss one in the freezer. After I got home lastnight I though a little more about it and decided to...

    where to put remote thermoter in a gosm

    The Mrs had one of those small silicone mats used for baking (about 6"X6") I guess they can handle temps up to 700F It now sits on top of my smoker

    Well....I did my first smoke yesterday

    Gary, I did take a couple of pics pre smoker. I didnt get any after they came out. I didnt bother uploading them to my server yet. I might have to keep plugging away at the ribs for a few weekends. Practice makes perfect :)

    Well....I did my first smoke yesterday

    Dutch, I did splash them with AJ (about 1/4 cup) when I tossed them into foil. I knew about adding hot water to the pan but in this case the smoker was running hot and adding cooler water settled out the temps for me. I tried the "pick them up in the middle" trick but because I cut the racks...

    Well....I did my first smoke yesterday

    Some of you may know I was attempting my first smoke yesterday. On a scale of 1 to 10 I think I was at a solid 7 :) For those who dont know I am using a GOSM. I was barbequeing up some baby back ribs using the *3-2-1 method and my day went something like this. *I was modifying this for baby...

    I knew it wouldn't be long before I had some questions

    I had intended to add that I was going to remove the smoke once they hit the 140 mark. I chose 140 simply because of other posts/hints/tips I found on this site. I will also check for the meat to shrink back. I am going to try the 3-2-1 method (modified for the thin baby backs)

    I knew it wouldn't be long before I had some questions

    I went to the local grill sales place here and picked up some hickory chunks as well as hickory chips, and apple chips (They said they cant get apple chunks here) I figured since I was only seasoning it to toss in a bunch of chunks...get some smoke flowing and see where I was at. I am going...

    Seasoning a new GOSM

    Bob, I dont think mine is a "Big Block" I got mine from Costco here in Canada. Mine is only 16" X 16" X 45" (with the legs on) I pulled out the cast box and have a cake pan in there now. Adding wood isnt a problem for me.

    Seasoning a new GOSM

    Brian, No confusion at all. I had the top vent pretty much wide open and the side vents sitting a little better than 50% open prior to my flare up. I'll keep those side vents closed a little more to cut down on the air feeding the wood. I am going to use a little less wood to cut down on the...

    Seasoning a new GOSM

    Thanks you guys. I have the Stainless Steel model and after last nights flare up all I smell in there is hickory. Brian, I saw your response to my other post. I'll watch for that in the future and make sure to close down the side vents and crack open the top one. I did say in my original post...

    I knew it wouldn't be long before I had some questions

    Well, I am seasoning my GOSM. I traded out the cast iron box for a Bakers Secret type pan. I also picked up a Redi Chek (ET-73) thermometer. I tossed in 5 chunks of hickory and turned the smoker onto medium. The temp came up pretty good and was around 270ish. I cranked it down a bit and it...

    Seasoning a new GOSM

    I need to season my new smoker and I was wondering how long I need to let it go and what temps do you run it for that first dry run? Thanks!
