    MES chip holder not on element

    The chip holder on my MES had a flap that went underneath the heating element and the tray itself sat on top of it. I never tried it at 140 though.

    New BB GOSM

    Which one? None of them have the right dimensions, but I might be overthinking it.

    Smoker Cover for GOSM Big Block?

    The GOSM Big Block dimensions 36"H x 24"W x 16"D (I'm not sure if that includes the legs or not -- if anyone knows, please speak up). So far, I've only seen three covers that will work, but none are ideal. The Smoke Vault cover doesn't have any of the features most higher quality covers have...

    Smoke Hollow Smokers -- grease?

    Thank you. It definitely helps. The Smoke Hollow sounds like a fantastic unit. It's probably even more solid than the GOSM in many ways, except size (though the Smoke Hollow is big enough for briskets) and grease mamagement. My problem is due to restraints on where I live -- if too much...

    Smoking a shoulder in COLD weather

    You could always smoke the shoulder before going to Illinois. Just Vac seal and keep it on ice durring the trip (make sure it's cooled down before leaving though).

    Prime Rib with a New Twist W/Qview

    Ouch. Not good when you're unemployed, so I think I'll do it the old fashioned way. When are these companies that deal with cooking appliances going to realize that size matters?

    Best Vertical Propane Smoker???

    I don't know, but I think Landmann just purchased the brand so it may take them a while to update their web site. It's likely they have their regular version for places like Bass Pro, etc. and a cheaper version specially made for Walmart. It's really shocking to me that a smoker can lack such...

    Best Vertical Propane Smoker???

    Just to add some clarification, I think the GOSMs found at Walmart are different than the GOSMs found at places like Amazon or Bass pro. The pictures of the Walmart version appear to lack the grease tray and the grease guides, and they also appear to be lighter.

    Does anybody have both a Smoke Hollow LP and a GOSM?

    I beleive the Smoke Hollow comes with a cover. When you include a cover on the GOSM BB, the price is only $30 different if you order it from Walmart. The GOSM is more expensive if you order from Bass Pro. The weight of the Smoke Hollow is similar to the Smoke Vault. The Smoke Hollow has a...

    Good place to get a Big Block GOSM?

    Nice. Is this the same as the unit form Walmart?

    Does anybody have both a Smoke Hollow LP and a GOSM?

    Thanks. It seems the biggest complaints on those GOSMs are the welds. I had a similar issue with one of the early Smoke Vaults (that, plus everything else) so I don't trust those Chineese welders with that style of tray brackets. The Smoke Hollow apears to have been designed to minimize...

    Smoking a shoulder in COLD weather

    Unless your electric smoker is insulated, you will probably have trouble in the cold (and risk burning the unit out), expecially with the amount of food you want to smoke. I think there are some insulation blankets you can buy, but I've never used one. How many watts is your heating element?

    Who Likes Philly Cheese Steak?

    You have to make them yourselves. I no longer live in the area, and I really miss those cheesestakes and Italian Hoagies. I always make sure I bring a few whole (whole hoagies are 2 foot long in the Philly area) Italian and cheesesteak hoagies home with me whenever I visit. Nobody around here...

    Who Likes Philly Cheese Steak?

    I'm from Philly, or at least the burbs (don't live there any more, but I still visit), and yeah, those look good. Pat's and Geno's use cheese whiz, but many in the area think they are more for tourists now. Not bad at all, but they don't win the "best cheese steak" awards (then again, the...

    Cooking brisket for Friday

    I'd store it whole (which I'm guessing you did), or cut it in half if I didn't have any storage containers large enough (then again, keeping it wrapped in seran wrap and foil, you might not need a container). It seems fresher that way and you won't lose as much of the juices. I'd thinkg about...

    Prime Rib with a New Twist W/Qview

    So, where do I find one large enough for a 10 pound picnic shoulder or butt? preferably one that works with the Kenmore Seal n Save.....

    Smoke Hollow Smokers -- grease?

    Excellent point. Thanks. The price of the GOSM is much more attractive to me right now, but it's really not that much of a difference when you include the cover (unless a cover is included with the GOSM).

    Smoke Hollow Smokers -- grease?

    Thanks. Is there a deep well at the bottom of the unit or is it flush with the bottom of the door? No matter how well you place the meat, the grease is going to go everywhere and drip down the walls. When smoking 3 briskets and two pork shoulders at a time, you need a good system for...

    How often do you add more chips/chunks?

    The tabs are there for a reason. If the fire goes out and the gas keeps running, it will build up and potentially expload. The unit was probably designed to run with this in mind.
