Early Morning Start on the Butt
Yea, thought I was a bit off center. I'll move it on the next spritz. Thanks! -
Early Morning Start on the Butt
2 hrs into the smoke. Things seem to be moving along nicely. Smoker still chugging along at 230-240* with a very mellow TBS. Meat temp is at 122*. I've spritzed this bad boy a couple of times with a mix of Capt. Morgans and apple juice (1:3 ratio). So far so good. Q-view update: I'm thinking... -
Early Morning Start on the Butt
I got up at 5:00 Am to get the butt going for dinner tonight. I rubbed and wrapped this 8 lb beauty yesterday afternoon and it's been resting in the 'frig until now. I got everything organized and the meat in the smoker at 5:40 AM. Currently at GOSM Big Block is chugging along at 230* and the... -
Time for an upgrade!
Jeff, BassPro was carrying the Big Block, at least up through June of this year. You might check the store over in Clarksville, IN and see if they have any in stock or if they can transfer one from another store. It still shows as being available through the catalog so I'd give them a try...- alra195

My First ABT's!
I've been following this section on ABT's for the last several weeks and could no longer resist the temptation to give them a try. Jalapeños are in pretty short supply, as has been noted in previous posts, and my family would probably be too scared to try them in any case, so I decided to break...- alra195

Poll: what woods do you use for smoking spares
GREAT POLL - very interesting results so far. I'm a combo guy, typically a 50/50 blend of Hickory and Apple. The more I read and with the posts I've been seeing on this subject, I'm intrigued with the possibilities with cherry. I'll have to give that a run and see how it turns out. -
Favorite wood for spares?
50/50 mix of hickory and apple. But from the other posts, ya'll got me thinking about trying cherry, hmmmm? -
Who's using base wood?
Hickory is always the first choice for me. If I've got some I like to throw some apple in too. My family likes the 50/50 blend the best. -
Hello from Ohio

3-2-1 Methodology for St Louis ribs?
Pineywoods is right on target. I said this in another post earlier. The 3-2-1 method is like the "Pirate Code" - they be more like guidelines than actual rules. I follow the basic method but don't be afraid to experiment with shorter or longer times until you find what works best for your... -
Ribs for Wife
Naked or Rubbed, makes no difference with the 3-2-1 method. The first couple of times I tried it I didn't have a clue about rubs, but the family did have a sauce we liked, so they got a coating during the last hour. The only variable I've got with the method is I do that last hour (really more... -
How to see the Spell Check
Ken, Yep, did that a while back and when I right click the mouse it tells me I have ieSpell. I just don't know how to use it when posting a message when I can't see the the ieSpell hot button that's normally on the for a right of the screen. If there's another way I'm open to suggestion...- alra195

How to see the Spell Check
This is most likely an issue that relates to my choice of screen resolution ( I prefer 800 x 600). It's easy for me to see but at this resolution the spell check icon or hot button that is normally on the far right of the "Post New Thread" page is not visible, along with about a third of the...- alra195

Looking for a GOSM Cover
Okay? What's a bit more expensive and how does one find one of these Smoke Vault covers? While I have a covered porch mine is on it would still be nice to have a cover to keep the road grime and dust off. I do have a shop close by that make canvas boat covers but I have no objection to doing...- alra195

Spare Ribs with Q-View
Hey Y'all! I finally was able to get the camera away from my wife and do a bit of Q-view documentation on some ribs I cooked up yesterday. I've been on vacation since the 19 th and promised my son, when we returned from the beach, I'd fire up the GOSM Big Block and do some ribs. Well we got... -
Good Starter Propane Smoker
Spoofer, Welcome to SMF. I'm another one who'll tell you to go for the GOSM Big Block. I've been using an ECB clone for awhile and just wanted the ease of gas. After much research and kabitzing over the many choices the Big Block was the way I went. I've not got much experience with it yet... -
Looking for opinion or help with New GOSM
I just finished running a rack of spare ribs, a couple of Italian Sausages and a small bread pan of beans in my GOSM Big Block. I had no problems regulating the temps. Opened the tank gas valve one and half turns, set the two lower vents and the top vent to the minimum setting and went at it...- alra195

Saturday night solo glottony fest w/ q-view
Steve, Good looking Q. Sorry the ribs were a bit dry, they look good thought. I'm doing the bachlor thing for the weekend myself and have a rack of ribs on, a couple of Hot Italian Sausages, and some beans going even as we speak (with a Yeunglings Porter in hand!). Just can't find a decent...
