    Propane Smoker Recommendation?

    The GOSM or Camp Chef are great smokers. I have both of them. They both put out very decent 'Q. Your post did state that you wanted to cook steak, though. I dont know if these two will get enough to sear a steak. These smokera are meant to smoke from about 225 to 250 degrees. If you're...

    fried turkey?

    Tony Cachere's has a cajun injection thats pretty good. And dont use any rub on the outside of the bird. They'll burn in the oil. You can also use plain ole Louisiana Hot Sauce for an injection.

    Charcoal vs Propane

    Being an old fart, and somewhat lazy, I prefer a gas burner and wood chip box. It makes things simpler for me. If you like to tinker and babysit, get a stick burner.

    GOSM Wood Question (amount)

    I think this depends on 2 things: 1. How smoky you like your meat to taste 2. What kind of beast are you smoking. Chicken takes just a little smoke, while brisket and pork butts can take alot more smoke beacuse they are a denser peice of meat. I've seen people cook briskets by putting smoke on...

    Deciding on my first smoker....

    Great choice. I have that model also, although not in stainless. You're gonna love it. Use chunks instead of chips on the wood tray, you'll get longer smoke time.

    Deciding on my first smoker....

    Hey Wookie. I'm sure you'll be pleased with your purchase of you decide to go the GOSM route. I have one and I am very pleased with it. As for the lower temps, I cant say so myself, as I'm usually smoking some kind of beast. I would think the NG conversion thing can get pretty complicated...

    Cleaning our smoker

    Take it to the local do-it-yourself car wash and pressure wash it. Just remove the burner if you can.

    New Gosm

    Hey Smokin' you're gonna love that smoker. I have one of the smaller older models that I use for butts exclusively. I'm with you on the not having to cut your slabs in half thingy. I hated doing that. They just look so much better whole. Hope you enjoy your smoker as much as i enjoy mine.

    GOSM Smoke Box Mod

    No need for a lid on the smoke box IMHO. I use mine with rather large chunks oak "biscuits". It never has had a problem. If you use the coffee can mod, no need for a lid either.

    Country style rib question

    These do need to be wrapped in foil as they are so lean. Give yourself a couple of hours. Spritz them with apple juice before wrapping to give them a braise.

    Loin vs. Tenderloin

    IMHO, they do have a different flavor even though they are the same "beast". To me, center cut tenderloin tastes a little "cleaner" than loin.

    Another question about smoking times!!!

    It seems to me that every smoke is different. Sometimes the butts cruise roght through the plateau, and other times they stall for 3 to 4 hours. My advice would be to give yourself enough time so yuo know you'll have it ready when you need it. It's jus one of the mysteries of 'Q.

    Smoker accessory help needed

    Weber makes a rib rack that holds 4 or 5 racks. It seems made for the GOSM as it fits perfectly on each grate, and hold them at just the right angle to use all the racks in the GOSM.
