    Good replacement elements?

    I've converted my GOSM charcoal smoker to electric, simply by adding a 1500 watt electric element from the brinkman cook n' cajun. I filled the charcoal box with gravel sized lava rocks and put the elemnt on top of them. It has worked well over the years, except that I go through 1-2 elements...

    Where can I get heavy expanded steel?

    Well thank you to all for the replies. I called one of my local metal shops refered be ColeySmokinBBQ in a PM. I got 2 pieces of #13 16"x17" for $10! What I learned: #9 is what they make trailer gates out of. #13 is thinner but still WAY thicker than the home depot stuff and plenty strong...

    Where can I get heavy expanded steel?

    The stuff they sell at home depot and Lowes worked good for my charcoal box, but is too flimsy for a grill grate. Any Idea where I can get some in a heavier guage? I live in north east Georgia, right next to Chattanooga Tenn. I've noticed some of the pics people have some with a metal border on...

    Question about the thin blue smoke

    I get the magical "Thin Blue Smoke", but only for a little while. I've always heard that when the wood stops smoking, it's glowing embers are still flavoring the food. I notice when I put a stick or two on, or even chunks, it smokes heavy for a few minutes, then "thin blue" for another 10-15...

    First try on the new smoker

    Well I'll be damned PORKBUTT! That makes total sense!! Next time I'll put the unlit lump closest to the air inlet. However, I'm first going to try drastically reducing the amount of lump I start with. Thanks for the advise. By the way, the food STILL came out kick ***! I suppose all the...

    How Do I Smoke Corn???

    Peel back the husks, remove the silk, wrap a piece of bacon in a spiral around it. Put the husk back up around the bacon wrapped corn and smoke away! Use a loose piece of husk to tie a knot around the top to keep the husk on.

    The degree sign º

    Just for those interested, who don't already know. This º symbol on a PC is made by holding down the alt button and typing 167 on the numbers keypad then releasing alt. Also: alt+0188 = ¼ alt+0189 = ½ alt+0190 = ¾ I need to use them more myself! 1¾ cups looks better than 1 3/4 cups.

    First try on the new smoker

    Well I've been an electric smoker for some time now, and as some of you know from my last post I just got what we believe is a silver smoker. However I've read that the smoke n' pit is a little larger, I think this may be a brinkman. Anyhoo... Man is it hard to keep the temp down! I have the...

    Help Identify my new smoker please!

    Sorry about the huge pic......D'oh! I'll reduce the size and repost. Well I'm glad you all approve of my bargain. The silver unit in the back is an old fireplace, not part of the smoker! As far as the smoke stack on the side, it appears as someone just took a metal cutting disc and cut an...

    Help Identify my new smoker please!

    I got this for $30. It's got some rust, but my power drill and some wire brush tips did a pretty good job on it so far. I think it's either a char-broil silver smoker or a brinkman smoke n' pit. The thing is, there are absolutely NO MARKINGS on it at all! I scowered the whole thing. One of the...

    Replacement element?

    I like the convenience of the electric. I know electric has somewhat of a bad rep, even in this forum the forum description says "believe it or not" and "has been known to produce some tasty grub from time to time". That's just wrong! At least for me, I have consistantly made mouth watering bbq...

The a few years ago I got a deal on the Great Outdoors Smokey Mountain charcoal smoker. I Bought it because I liked the large side door. It's easy to...
