    New Sam's MES tough babybacks, why?

    I'd say to check the accuracy of your thermometer. Put it into boiling water and see how close to 212* you are. When I first started out I had a similar experience .... my thermometer was about 30* off. Ever since, I use a digital thermo that I have checked. Good luck.

    First smoke ever.

    Hey Marsbike, Great looking butts! I'm sure you're going to be a tremendous hit at the party. But, do yourself a BIG favor ..... look at the "sauces" category in this forum and you'll find a sticky for pulled pork finishing sauce by Florida Jeff. I can't remember his forum name ... I think...

    Smokin' up NC

    Welcome to the SMF! Looking forward to some of your smokes and recipes. I grew up in eastern NC (Sanford/Raleigh area) and love the Q from that area. I later moved to Charlotte and then on down to the Atlanta area. I was OK with the Charlotte Q but when I arrived in Atlanta, I found the tomato...

    New GOSM - $400

    Great choice and I'm glad to see that you are enjoying it so much. I also have a GOSM and I really enjoy it as well. And by the way, the lower vents are solely for allowing air in for combustion. I usually keep mine closed to the little tabs on them. However, the upper vent is always kept fully...

    Louie & 88 went to Talladega!

    88 and Louie, Great pictures! The last race I went to was the World 600 in Charlotte a lot of years ago. I agree, it just isn't the same on TV. Everybody who has an interest in racing at all should go to one of the big ones.

    Went to the driving range last weekend

    Good One! I can just imagine the feeling if that guy slid in behind me and fired off just after I had hit the ball. No doubt ..... it would be time to change my pants. lmao

    Best place to buy a "real" GOSM

    Gortiz, I may be mistaken but I think I saw a recent post that someone had bought one at the Bass Pro store. Good luck! I love mine. Edit: I just read smokinbobo's post. Posts there should answer your question.

    Need help from a green thumber

    Air layering is the answer. It's relatively simple and the fruit is identical to the host tree. Good luck. Oh, and by the way, air layering can be used on almost any plant. I've done it on camilias, azalias, and other plants.

    GOSM is Seaoning. A few questions

    I also second Bassman's opinion. I keep my top vent wide open to help avoid stagnate smoke and the lower ones closed as far as the stops will allow. I also start the smoke with chips and chunks. I think I get faster smoke start with the chips and then the chunks kick in for the long haul. One...
