    Heat questions.

    I always start a little hotter just to speed up the process a little. For the first 1/2 hour you can smoke almost any food at 250-300F without causing any concern about the outcome of the final smoke. That should get you pass that initial temperature drop that got you worried and after the 1/2...

    Outside Lookin in on the whole dr.pepper can

    jesterphatt, You made yourself some good looking chicken. I bet they tasted great! Next time try sitting the chicken all of the way down on the can till it's butts touches the grating. By doing this you can keep the chicken standing up with the two legs and never have to use nor clean up...

    New to GOSM - Low Smoke Output - HELP!!

    McDave, I thought I had that problem at first when I did not see any smoke but found out later that I really had that thin blue smoke all along. Look at your wood chunks after about 30 minutes of preheating to see if they have started to turn black. If so, then you have been getting some of...

    BBQ Sauce

    I usually like the tomato base BBQ sauces best.

    Heat questions.

    You may be OK since a new smoker will cook hotter than one than has been well seasoned. Lets see what the lowest temperature is after 3-4 smokes.

    Maverick ET-73

    FYI, Maverick Support told me a while back that you could use more than one Maverick wireless unit at a time. The trick was to sync them up separately. The batteries last a long time.

    Maverick ET-73

    That is about right for the price. I rather the ET-7 since both of the probes are intended for meat. Amazon has a good price for it. $36.99 with free shipping. http://www.amazon.com/Remote-check-7...0114672&sr=8-1 You will go wrong with either unit.

    Smoked Boudin

    I eat a link of boudin every Monday morning even if I am not hungry. It is one of my favorite cajun foods. I've had shrimp, crawfish, blood, smoked, and regular boudin. So far my favorite is the regular follow by smoked. The better boudin I've found usually always comes from the Acadiana area.

    I am not sure but I believe your wife loves it when you smoke some meat. Now I could be mistaken.

    Add'l Racks for my GOSM

    teacup 13 offers a good alternative. Expanded metal has always be the grating material usually chosen for home built smoker and has always worked very well. I may be concerned with sagging if using expanded metal in a Big Block because of the extra width but expanded metal should work fine as...

    SPEED Butts!

    You can smoke at 275F until the butts internally reach 160-165F and then lower the smoker to about 225F or a little less to finish.

    How do you keep your probes alive and accurate

    I wipe mine down only with a damp cloth and they never get exposed to more than 350F. So far my two Maverick ET-7 probes have made it thru about 10 smokes and they are still working correctly.
