    GOSM

    I already had a GOSM 36" charcoal smoker and a GOSM 36" propane smoker along with 3 other smokers when I ran across the Stainless Steel GOSM Big Block propane smokers at Sam's Club a few years back. Something compelled me to buy 2 of them (even though I already had 5 smokers :lol: ). I gave 3...

    Watch your fat or your dog might get it

    When it rains don't be surprised if the water runs off his back like a duck's. :lol: I trim out the hard pocket of fat off briskets and cook it for the dogs and they love it.

    What to do about Pics?

    I usually post off-site and link too them. I hope you wouldn't have to delete to upload more. That would cause chaos in the archives. :(

    ECB Mods--obvious improvement

    Howdy billway! The dampers should be as close to the body as possible to work effectively if you have the need to close them down. Otherwise air will leak and it would be possible for temperatures to rise out of control if too much air leaks. I did a few mods to my ECB but never got around to...

    Cornell Style Chicken

    I made some the weekend after the good doctor passed away in remembrance. It was the first time making it for me. I basted as the recipe called for and it was very tasty. Others I've heard tell that they marinate the meat overnight in the sauce to give the chicken an extra tang. I haven't tried...

    Yes, you have the same type "uni-rail system" that was in my smaller GOSM smokers.

    Wood for smoking- Green or Seasoned

    Green wood will give you lots of smoke but not the kind that tastes good on food. Green wood still contains the sap and smoke from green wood will cause soot and make your food acrid, bitter. The only wood I would recommend trying while still green is something very mild like apple. I have used...

    First smoke with the Big Block

    I found a picture that somewhat shows the guides for the food racks in the GOSM SS Big Block. The color is off because I had to brighten it up by changing the Gamma settings so the picture would be bright enough to see inside a dark smoker. I hope you can see how each rail guide hangs in a...

    GOSM damper mod

    Another thing I do in addition to preheating the wood on high is to make sure the wood makes contact with the metal. If you have a 4" diameter branch and cut a 2" to 3" disc, ensure it is laying flat in the box instead of on its side so that the most surface area of the wood comes in contact...

    First smoke with the Big Block

    ultramag, I can't tell you how many of my wife's pot holders I scorched trying to handle the cast iron smoke box :lol: or how many times I got in trouble for it. :oops: The stainless steel Big Block is constructed a little differently than the smaller models I started out on. I drilled a few...

    We Lost a Member, I Lost a Friend

    I don't completely understand the turmoil of emotions that I am going through right now. It took nearly three hours for the tears to settle enough for me to fall asleep last night and already this morning I am needing more tissue. I probably look like a fool to those around me. Who knew losing a...

    New GOSM

    A couple of folks on the Yahoo GOSM group reported having high temperatures that they couldn't get down on some of the newer GOSM smokers. They reported the problem to the manufacturer and was sent replacement regulators which seemed to help the problem. This doesn't mean your regulator is bad...
