    Breakin in the GOSM

    i have a GOSM big block and i love it. its what i use for all my ribs. as far as i can tell, about the best thing you can smoke is a couple of pounds of bacon. throw a half pound in there and smoke it for 2 hours. then make BLT's and smoke more bacon. it will give a nice base coating of flavor...

    pork butt and brown sugar?

    and be sure to use the darkest brown sugar you can get. brown sugar us make by adding back some of the molasses and heavier elements that are cooked of f to get white sugar. i use this stuff from a bakery supply company that is very dark. it gives a richer flavor or you can use turbindado sugar...

    Question about smoking spare ribs?

    dont worry, as long as you keep your temps at 225-250 for 5 hours, it will have a nice color. part of the color of a lot of ribs (mine included) comes from the rub you use. my rub is heavy on the brown sugar and paprika. the sugar carmelizes and turns dark brown and the paprika is a deep dark...

    smoked 4 turkeys in my new electric w/qview

    a 12 pound turkey is a tall mountain to climb when you only weigh 10 pounds yourself. but they said they are willing to try. i gave each of them a turkey neck and they worked on them for hours.

    Which electric burner/element setup.

    while the price is nice for a line voltage unit, that ranco only goes to 220 degrees. i dont know if that would be the best choice. i like to finish some meats at a higher temperature.

    first smoke on the converted fridge

    i don't have a chimney proper at this point. i removed some of the flashing that i added to the edge of the door to make it seal. it was getting hard to shut the door once the silicone sponge i used for a seal "took a set" and hardened. so for now smoke just leaks out the upper edge of the door...
