    Plateau length

    I realize plateaus can be long but I think I may be on the verge of too long. I'm in the mid 140's on a butt. Been keeping the smoker between 225 and 240 like I read here. I think I been at this point for 3 hrs. Too long? dmack

    AVOID Chaney Instruments (ACCU-RITE) Digital Wireless

    I don't know if my digital is an Accurite or not. It was a cheapy from Walmart. Anyway my unit didn't work with brand new batteries. I noticed that one of the batteries was not making contact on one end. I put a folded up piece of foil in and it has been working since. I know I shouldn't have to...

    Show your dog

    Johnny is my boy. He is a 9 month old border terrier, not border collie. He is the guy in my avatar. Below you see him sleeping during our first fishing trip together. Also the second picture is him obediently staying for a photo op in front of the new gosm. dmack Attachment 9962 Attachment 9963

    Pulled Pork

    This may be a really dumb question but I'm going to ask anyway. Is there a special process for the actual pulling of the pork? I have seen all kinds of posts on the cooking of pulled pork and the finishing sauces,but nothing on the pulling. My first butt I sliced. I am now ready to do pulled...

    Side shelves

    Question, I have come to find out that probably my next mod must be side shelves. I have been just wheeling the smoker up next to the grill but not crazy about that. I saw Trent's mod posted on 6/1. I really like his and they look great. But to be honest my gosm purchased at $150 roughly is...

    GOSM Mods Finished!!!!!!!!!

    Great job on the mods. Thanks for the pictures. Lots of people ask about the needle valve mod, I just did mine last week. I know the Bayou Classic is one way to do it, but it can all be done at the local hardware store. One thing I found is that many of the standard grill regulators are 3/8 pipe...

    gosm propane problems

    If you are using a gosm like mine your regulator fittings are 1/4".You can pick up a 1/4" needle valve in most any hardware store.I saw mine in Lowes,Home Depot,Menards, and I bought it at my local Hardware Hank store. The regulator is 1/4 pipe thread, your needle valve will be compression...

    First smoke?!?

    Thanks for the help guys.Now everyone will think I'm crazy on this one. I was surprised how large a pork butt is. The smallest I could get was 6 3/4#.Since this is my first smoke I thought I didn't want to invite alot of people in to sample. Anyway, I cut the butt in half. I am smoking the half...

    seasoning

    All right, I went from seriously bummed to being the proud owner of my own smoker (GOSM). It is assembled. I'd like to season tonight and use tomorrow. The manual says nothing about cleaning it and of wiping down with vegetable oil. In fact it says to heat it at 125 for 45-60 minutes. How about...
