    my first fattie with qview

    made my first fattie earlier today! used jimmy dean sausage, onions, bell peppers, and colby/monteray jack cheese. i found the bacon overpowering and didn't care to eat much of it, which is odd for me, i definately see areas for me to improve on.(rolling, and wrapping the bacon) i may have...

    Fourth of July Pork Shoulder w/Qview

    smoked my first pork shoulder on my GOSM for the fourth and it went good. rubbed it down the night before, got up a little later than planned but had it on a little before 8. spritzed it with applejuice and rum mix every 1.5 hours or so, wrapped it at 165 and pulled it at 205. let it rest then...

    newbie with a GOSM

    i think the door might have warped from the heat when i seasoned it, it all looked good and flush when i put it together. i twisted and wrenched on the door and got it shutting fully again and the latch is now catching better. i have a rack of babybacks on right now and the temp is holding good...

    newbie with a GOSM

    thanks forluvofsmoke i do think i could have had more smoke though. and pan fried taters were planned but the power outage meant i had no water to clean them and no power to run my stove top. man the leftover ribs were just as good the next day! can't wait to smoke the babyback slab i have for...

    well first smoke is done, it was good. i know it can be better though. i think i needed more smoke and it only took a little over 4 hours for some reason. but like i said it was still good. i'll be trying babybacks this weekend. Qview (cell pics were the best i could do)

    newbie with a GOSM

    well, my first smoke with the gosm is done. i had to battle a power outage and two thunderstorms that popped up towards the end. i think the heat of the day is having a bigger effect on the smoker than i thought. when the first storm rolled in my smoker temp plummeted and became difficult to...

    newbie with a GOSM

    ah nice, thanks again coffee! i think i'll be lookin into getting an aftermarket thermo soon. well the ribs are on it's holding pretty steady so far. i also got to wondering how much the outside temperature might affect the smoker. it's over 100 degrees here and it's in the sun so probably at...

    newbie with a GOSM

    thanks coffee, i did have the pan full of water but i think the thermo is just wrong. i have a probe in now and reading 230 while the thermo on the door is reading 300!! is it normal for them to be off by 75 degrees?

    newbie with a GOSM

    alright thanks for the advice! forluvofsmoke mines the small one 3405GW as well, i'll definately use a probe this time to check the heat reading thanks. MGNorCal i'll look into the needle valve or regulator after i smoke a few times and see if the adjuster on the unit works better. i probably...
