    How did you come up with your screen name?

    I guess I fit into the boring category. GGNUTSC is company issued. Way back when we started using PCs at work everyone was issued a login ID that is their first two initials and the first five letters of their last name. I've just used it for almost everything since then. Even my personal email...

    My Turkey day project

    Thanks for the positive responses!!! I followed Jeff's instructions on cooking a turkey (I think I had them printed out from last year) 225 deg for 6-7 hours for a 12lb bird. I live in Beatrice.... right on Hwy 136, My wife and I grew up in Fairbury.

    My Turkey day project

    I didn't think I would have any trouble getting our turkey smoked in time to eat today since we were eating "Thanksgiving supper". As it is, I sure am glad I got up early anyway. I got everything ready yesterday and was all set to go, I thought....I even test fired the smoker, and had the box...

    Turkey smoking questions.

    I use a large stock pot to brine in.... I got the brine recipe off of this board. Given the fact that you are risking your Thanksgiving day dinner on this, you might consider trying what I did my first time..... Thaw, brine and smoke your turkey early. Then take the smoked bird and wrap it up...

    Official SMF 1st Member Gathering Poll

    I confess I have been real lax in my recent visits to SMF. With this event only a few hours away it would be soooo cool to get there, but June is our busiest time of year as far as horse showing goes so I will not be making the trip to meet you all. Fall is a good time for me and that seems to...

    smoked eggs

    I've been letting mine soak for a awhile. The first ones I tried were a little weak. This weekend I'll get a few out and try them. Now they've been soaking for awhile I'm thinking that they will be a real treat with a couple of beers....

    smoked eggs

    After seeing this post a week ago or so, I tried it this last weekend, and now have thirty some of the little smoked beauties in my basement fridge soaking and waiting for me to chow down. I must confess that I've already sampled a couple and they were great!! I can't wait for them to really...

    Members Mark Propane Smoker

    Thanks Dutch I was kind of afraid that was the case..... Looks like a bigger smoke box is gonna be in the works one of these days.... I have done about the same thing as you mentioned about the small pieces/saw dust with chunks on top, and It lasts me a while but I'd like to get more time...

    smoked eggs

    Hey thanks Dutch!! I think I can manage to make one of them happen...... IF there are any left to pickle after I get done smoking them.

    Members Mark Propane Smoker

    Ok..... Where lack of smoke is concerned, I have a question..... When the wood is pretty much charred and I look in the smoke box and all I see is black and smoldering charcoal, am I still getting anything out of it?? Or is there no smoke from this? I don't get as much longevity out of my GOSM...

    smoked eggs

    Those look good!! I'd try them except I'm ignorant regarding what to pickle them in. Does anyone have a good recipe for what to pickle them in?? My boys and I love pickled eggs, but I've never tried to make any at home. Having them pickled and smoked would be a real treat.....

    Todays Project

    I might be a fool for doing this but I had an extra shelf open in the smoker and what the heck.... I thought I'd toss something else in there, and lo and behold I was able to buy a corned beef brisket cheap. I haven't tried cooking one of these before, but maybe some of you have..... I just...

    Smoked Beer Can Chicken

    I did two chickens on Friday and they came out crispy, but the skin was a trifle on the tough side. I don't know what can be doen to minimize that..... I cooked to 190 internal temp. On another note.... I cooked one with beer, soy sauce, and redpepper sauce. The other was cooked over a can of...

    Smoked Beer Can Chicken

    I'm going to smoke a couple of chix this weekend. I think I'll probably stick with beer on one of them, but I might try some apple juice or cider on the other one.

    Masterbuilt 7n1 smoker

    I have a Brinkmann and a GOSM and both work well in the weather we have had lately. As for NE weather....I live in Beatrice and I smoked some stuff in the GOSM just before Christmas when it was cold enough to freeze the water pan after I let the fire go out. I am curious however.... What are...

    Smoked Beer Can Chicken

    Man do those birds look good!!! I'm curious to know if anyone has ever tried this with anything other than beer? I have always used 1/2 a beer with some soy sauce and trappey's red devil sauce mixed into it. I haven't had the guts to try anything else like pop, but I'm thinking that it might...

    Anyone ever try chili in the smoker?

    I didn't see a place/topic for soups and I'm bettin that some of the ol' pros on here have tried this, but being a novice smoker compared to many of you I'm gonna describe what I did and see if there are some variations out there among the rest of you all..... Back before Christmas we had a...

    SMOKING VELVEETA

    Larry, I've had some limited sucess with smoking cheese. The best luck has been with monteray jack. It seems to resist melting better. Even at the lowest temps that I can get in my LPG smoker I've experienced the same thing as you did with the Velveeta. Consider smoking some pepper-jack, it...

    Weekend Success!

    Dutch, That does sound good! I'm a sucker for onions and bell peppers, sauteed like a fajita!! I don't think I was prepared for what I got or I might have tried to add some stuff to it. As it was I was real happy with the flavor I got with the dressing. My oldest son refused any offer of sauce...
