    Build your own?

    I think venting the smoke before you open the door is going to be your only option. Instead of a "blast door" to close of the smoke you will probably have to put in a Y vent to route the smoke directly to the main exhaust so the smoke doesn't build up and leak out of your smoke box. To clear...

    Fellow smoker hospitality at Iowa Costco

    I got a whole cryovac`ed for 1.99 per pound. They have flats but none of them had the fat cap still on. The last time I was there I am pretty sure they had some with the fat cap but I don't know how much they were. Baby back ribs were $3.89 per pound while and spare ribs were $1.78 per pound.

    Fellow smoker hospitality at Iowa Costco

    I was just at my local Costco here in DesMoines Iowa trying to pick out my first Brisket when the friend I was with noticed the gentleman next to us had 2 in his cart. We asked him if he was going to smoke them, which he was, and then asked him how he picked his out. He gave me some great tips...

    Best Corn?

    I don't know if I have ever had Michigan corn but the stuff from Florida is awful and anything served in any chain restaurant is laughable compared to Iowa sweet corn. I think next weekend we are getting out the turkey fryer to boil up a couple bushels of corn to put down for the winter. We...

    Looking for a GOSM Cover

    Thanks for the replies guys. Since the vinyl one is so cheap on amazon Ill give it a go. If it is destroyed after this winter I will see about getting a custom one made.

    Looking for a GOSM Cover

    The title says it all. I would prefer something made out of a cloth tarp material not vinyl/plastic. I have been looking around locally but no one has one the right size. I tried to do some googling and searches here but no luck.

    New guy from Iowa

    Wow thanks for the warm welcome guys. I grew up in southwest Iowa but now I live in Urbandale. Things aren't looking good this fall but then again they usually don't.

    New guy from Iowa

    I saw all the hawks and went straight for this avatar. I couldn't sit back and not represent my team. I'll leave the rivalry inside the stadium though In the parking lot we're all fellow bbq fans.

    New guy from Iowa

    Just picked up a GOSM a couple weeks back and I have been lurking in the forum since. I've only done a drunken chicken and some spare ribs so far but I have a pork butt sitting in the fridge right now waiting for some rub and some sausage waiting to be made into a fatty. So far I gotta say...
