    I want to buy a GOSM big block. Now what?

    skinnerc06, Okay, I was so blown away that Amazon had them that I had to walk away from the computer for a moment. From the reviews on Amazon it seems that the condition that they will be in when you get it is bad. There are a lot of complaints about people having to order multiple units and...

    Whats up with Thermometers?

    Okay, I think I will stick with sticking the probes through the top. Thanks everyone!

    Whats up with Thermometers?

    I just purchased a GOSM big block and am a little hesitant to put holes in the side! I was thinking of using probes and threading them through the top. I DID just buy a Char broil thermometer to put on my little char broil smoker. Now I am starting to wonder if maybe I should just drill a...

    Whats up with Thermometers?

    No that answers everything. Thanks! This is what I thought but one of the workers at Lowes said that there was a difference between thermomters that should measure the heat in meat and those that measure the heat in smokers. It threw me a bit so I had to come and ask those in the know.

    Whats up with Thermometers?

    Okay, this is what I think I am reading. 1. The grates are only dangerous for the probes when hot. They do not hurt the probe while cold. 2. Don't put the thermometer directly on top of the smoker. They need to have some sort of insulation between them like a brick or piece of wood. I am...

    Whats up with Thermometers?

    Hey Everyone, I have a couple questions regarding thermometers. I just bought a new GOSM so these questions are related to this smoker. 1. I have read that you should buy a new thermomter for the smoker and keep it at the level of your meat. Is there a difference between this thermometer...

    Please help a GOSM newbie

    Okay, not to beat a dead horse but what about multiple layers of poultry. Would that be a problem? Can chicken drip on other chicken?

    It's at home and I'm not

    Okay I have no willpower and went home early today. I got home and there she was on the doorstep. My wife is four months pregnant and did not want to move something that weighs so much. Long story short, put it together and am now seasoning it as I type.

    It's at home and I'm not

    Unfortunately since I am leaving Thursday afternoon I am working late for the next couple of nights. Even worse, I will not really have access to the Internet while I am gone and will not even be able to look for new recipies for good smokes or anything. Ahhh.

    Dumb Question

    I think I was in shock for a few minutes. Kind of like thinking your going to Disneyland and ending up on the swings at the park. Not cool.

    It's at home and I'm not

    My wife just called. The new GOSM I ordered arrived today. I can't wait to get home. Unfortunately I am going out of town on Thursday and wont be back until next week. I never thought I would be pissed off about going on vacation!

    Dumb Question

    Oh yeah. I will be traveling there soon to pick up some meat. I love Costco but can never get out for under $100.

    Dumb Question

    I was just glad I asked her what she thought. Walmart never even crossed my mind. I'll tell you what, the more things that people said they purchased from "Wally World" the bigger and more increadible I thought it was. Up until the point I asked my wife what she thought, I would have sworn it...

    Dumb Question

    Well, I do appreciate your kind answers. I'll tell ya, for a while I was getting really mad that I didn't live near a Wally World. They seemed to have everything. :) I thought it was an East Coast thing or something.

    Seasoning the new GOSM

    Your opinion is really the only one that counts right now. (Mainly because it is what I wanted to hear) 8)

    Dumb Question

    Okay I lied. My dad learned from someone to boil the meat first and then grill it. I personally found it quite gross and will never be using that method. Some people seem to like it though.

    Seasoning the new GOSM

    Thanks everyone! Okay, here is another question then. I am leaving on Thursday to go to Montana for my wife's 10 year high school reunion. This means I wont be here this weekend to really break in the smoker. Would you recommend I wait to season it until I can cook in it within the next 24...
