My GOSM's thermometer definitely reads very low so I'm sure yours does this same. That would explain the faster cooking times as you're probably cooking at higher temps. Get a good digital thermometer, preferably with 2 probes. I put one probe thru a wine cork and sit the cork on the grate...
You are right...the weather here in Seattle is amazing right now (key words = right now). From July 4th till late September, you can't find better weather anywhere. Of course, that leaves 9 months of gray skies and nearly constant drizzle. Some can deal with it, some can't. Kinda explains...
I'm sure you can't go wrong with any of these rubs. Jeff's stuff will get you his sauce recipe which is great, too.
As for your smoke, good luck. I did my first last weekend and was amazed at how well it turned out just by following Meowey's post. Can't wait to hear how it goes.
I have the large cover for my Big Block. It is a nice cover but it just barely fits over so it seems to stretch a bit every time I use it. I'm not sure how long it will last but it certainly protects from the elements.
I gotta say...I'm thrilled with how my first pork shoulder turned out. It was already deboned as I bought a 2-pack at Costco (each about 7 lbs.) and I figured I'd just smoke one as it was my virgin run.
Anyway, I rubbed it up the day before with Jeff's rub and put it on the smoker around 7...
Well, I attempted my first fatty over the weekend. I took some italian chicken sausages out of the casing, stuffed with sauteed onions, bell peppers and cheese. I covered it with Jeff's rub and put it in the fridge to firm up. That's where the problems started...
I don't know if it was too...
That looks like a very tasty fatty! One question: did you put any rub on it? Actually on that note, do people typically rub up their fatties or leave them plain?
Yeah, you might want to check out BassPro online. I had one ordered from epod2000 and they're not getting any more. I then had the same back-order deal from Amazon but I doubt they'll be getting anymore either. The price sure is right, though.
My wife isn't a big pork or beef fan (I know!) and so I was thinking about rolling up some fatties with chicken sausage. I figure I can just take some out of the casings if I can't find any non-cased. Anybody have any input on whether this will work or if you've tried it before?
As always...
Tested out the new GOSM Big Block with a couple of chickens last weekend and threw a rack of spares on yesterday. Being the first time that I've ever cooked ribs and only the 2nd time using my Big Block, they turned out pretty tasty. I used hickory chunks, the 3-2-1 method and Jeff's Rub...
I'm sure this has been asked a million times but a quick search didn't bring up any results. I'm new to this game with only one smoke under my belt...did a couple of chickens with cherry chips and it worked great.
Anyway, I'm looking to buy more wood for my GOSM Big Block and was hoping for...
