    Just got a New smoker whats your thoughts????

    Hi arch_cpj, My thoughts are.... good choice. A GOSM is hard to beat for convience, and performance. It's capable of doing about anything you want to do. I use one and it was love at first smoke. I'm sure you'll hear from a few other guys on here that use them too. Mike

    Hey Cheech, Just thought I'd also give you the welcome aboard. I'd be interested in kowing how the bear came out. A buddy of mine killed one this year and he wants me to smoke it for him. Quite frankly I haven't a clue how to do it. Maybe you could let me know how you did yours. Thanks Mike

    Beef Jerky

    Alemaster, I make quite a bit of jerky, I've been averaging 8 to 10 pounds a week for a couple of months now. I do use a heavily soy sauce based recipe but with a couple of twists. Like you said it tends to be alittle on the salty side, but instead of cutting it with water try adding dark brown...

    3-2-1 Baby Backs

    I agree with most of what I'm hearing about using water but with one exception. It may not mean much but I smoke tons of jerky and I have found that I can cut my drying time drastically by leaving the water pan empty.

    Hey Greg, I want to welcome you also. I'm new here myself. It's a great place with a lot of fine folks. They've helped me smoke up some pretty fine grub. I started with a small electric smoker but quickly made my way to a propane GOSM. I think it's becoming the second love of my life. Anyway...
