    Anyone mod the handle of the Big Block GOSM

    Recently bought a Big Block and love the it, the only thing I want to improve on is the handle. I installed the self-adhesive gasket from a ceramic smoker all around the door ( works fantastic, not more leaks at all ! ) but the cheap handle does not latch the door tightly. I put a large steel...

    18 pound turkey too big?

    Did a 22 lber. in my old GOSM last winter - I took our all the racks except for one, put a cookie sheet upright against the rear wall and stood the Turkey up on the rack and leaned it against the cookie sheet. I had preheated the GOSM and did the first hour at around 325 - then turned down to...

    GOSM BB and Masterbuilt XL in Stock

    Have no idea about the Masterbuilt but I bought a Big Block recently and really love it. If the Masterbuilt has same dimensions and the extra large water pan and cast iron wood box I would give it a try.

    With the huge cast iron wood box the BB has I always line the bottom with charcoal briquette's then put my wood on top of them - does it make a difference? I think so but of course I'm biased

    In reading these posts I consider myself one of the lucky ones. My BB came undamaged - I told the family that if I was not home when Fed-Ex came that whoever was home was to open the package to check it out and refuse delivery if damaged. I tracked the package and Fed-Ex site showed delivered -...

    First time smoking brisket. Few questions

    #1  marinating is overrated (when talking about briskets) #2 I have been doing my briskets with the hot-n-fast method with excellent results - I usually start out slow (250) for the inital smoke period and then ramp up (350) until 170 - into foil then back into (350) until done. You can really...

    GOSM Smoke Box Mod and TBS

    Arount, #1 - Don't soak your wood - just causes steam and temperature problems #2 - Don't use chips - chunks are the way to go - last a lot longer #3 - Just because you can't see the smoke does not mean it's not there - TBS is nearly invisible - billowing white smoke is bad #4 - I usually...

    I came to learn

    Hi Chris, We all have the same "problem" You have the tools ( propane smoker, Taylor Thermo and soon an ET-73 - Exactly what I use to smoke ) to turn out some great "Q". Start off with something tasty and fairly easy......chicken or turkey (whole would be nice!) or a pork butt or 2...

    Do you own a GOSM poll

    No aftertaste with my GOSM (Kemore version) either - I have a much larger wood chip/chunk box and I always put about 8 charcoal briquets in with my wood chunks - I think it makes a difference but might all be in my head

    If I could pick the throwdown category it would be?

    +1 for a Breakfast showdown or Lunch or Appetizers or "beef dishes", "chicken/poultry dishes", etc. The more general a catagory is the more unique entries are submitted. IMHO.

    Do you have a prefered brand of Soy or worchester sauce

    +1 for Kikkoman (low salt version in green label bottle) and Lea & Perrin's Worcesty sauce. I also obtained a bottle of white soy sauce and it was fantastic. Tobasco also makes a spicy soy sauce that's really-really good, I use it when I make chinese at home.
