Choosing the right wood
Really best to try each wood and pick your favorites - apple and cherry are mine but I'm a bit biased as my property is full of wild cherry and so I have an unlimited supply.- igolf2

14 Houses' Leaves!
I just wait for a nice stiff wind to blow the leaves over to the neighbors acreage - put up a snow fence on the other side of our property to keep other leaves from visiting. BTW you are more than welcome to come over and get all the leaves you want! We have alot of trees ( lots of wild...- igolf2

good door seal for fridge conversion?
I knew a guy that used kitchen range (stove) gasket from an appliance parts store to seal his smoker - I don't know how he attached/adhered it to the door but it is high temp, food safe and worked well.- igolf2

Smoking a shoulder in COLD weather
I smoke all winter here in the snowbelt of N.E. Ohio (best time of year to smoke stuff IMHO) - I have a propane GOSM and all I need is a panel to stop the wind. An electric on the other hand I have heard is more difficult to get to and keep temp. Welders blanket would be my choice for heat... -
New insulated build...
Looking good - It will be interesting to watch your progress. BTW - I have the exact same welder and your welds look fine - it's fairly difficult to get great looking welds with flux-core wire. If I start to weld more often I will be investing in a gas kit.- igolf2

Newbie from Ohio
Welcome fellow Buckeye! You will learn to LOVE your GOSM - It makes great BBQ and you can kind of set-it-and-forget it. One suggestion - get a Maverick ET-73 remote thermometer - Monitors both the food and the temp in the smokers chamber - I can work on the car, watch TV, etc. and at a... -
Royal Oak Electric Smoker
Mac, Looks like a nice smoker and the price was definitely right! Looks alot like my Kenmore GOSM but your interior and door look insulated. Only potential problem I can see is the lower rack shares both the water pan and the chip/chunk box. IMHO I would sacrafice the third rack and put a full...- igolf2

Sweet and Hot
we made some venison jerky that had (real) maple syrup and hot sauce as the main ingredients and it was fantastic. I will try to get the recipe from my friend.- igolf2

OOPS! I forgot to Introduce Myself!!!!
Correct me if I'm wrong Sandy, but if I kill all the golfers, they're gonna lock me up and throw away the key! Watch Caddyshack at least once a month - get together with the Superintendent, the club pro and smoke some food, drink some beer and watch the movie. I'm the GM of the course and so... -
OOPS! I forgot to Introduce Myself!!!!
Thanks! Been looking at the Traegers which I think is the best of both worlds - Flavor of a charcoal/stick burner with the somewhat set-it-and-forget-it ease I like. -
OOPS! I forgot to Introduce Myself!!!!
Sorry - just realized that I forgot to "sign in" - I have been lurking and posting for a while now but noticed I never went to role call to say Hey! I have a GOSM (Kemore version) - homemade pig roaster - grill (gasser) - and a turkey fryer - also have a UDS in the works but in early stages... -
winter project found my tank
You can tell by looking at the welds that those are heavy wall tanks - will make excellent smokers- igolf2

Burning wood chunks
JMHO - but soaking chips/chunks just creates steam and I think creosote and those are two things you don't want, you want the hard to see thin blue smoke. If the chunks or chips are bursting into flames and burning up too quickly put them in foil and poke a small hole in the foil. Again Just My...- igolf2

Combo LP grill & charcoal smoker?
Yes - the right side is where you mount the offset charcoal box - I was looking at one at Tractor Supply and I think I could fashion something to "link" the two chambers together to create one big smoker while still maintaining a seperate grill chamber for steaks and such. The side burner just...- igolf2

Clean it out?
Agree with Raceyb I use orange cleaner ( citrus based ) and clean and hose out once every month or so. I cover my burner with a plastic bag, scrape out the heavy stuff then spray - wait - hose. Grates get soaked / cleaned before every smoke and sometimes thrown in the dish washer.- igolf2

Combo LP grill & charcoal smoker?
Hey Jeff - Here's a pic of something that might interest you - The Chargriller Duo - I don't have one but some of the guys here have them and will be able to tell you the pro's and con's of the unit and the mods needed to make it better. Unit has an add on side box for charcoal for the smoker I...- igolf2

best thing to start with
Agree with fire-it-up My first smoke was a Boston Butt and the family loved it - and wife said keep it up! Allowed me to buy another smoker and have a blast making dinner! -
Tykie is Bringing the Heat
I somewhat agree but after a certain point there stops being flavor and its just crazy hot. I know some for whatever reason can handle more heat/spice then others but after a certain level..........just bragging rights. -
Tykie is Bringing the Heat
Just curious..what is the attraction with "ghost peppers"? I had some chili recently with them in it and all I and others tasted was HEAT! I love spicy food but these peppers have no taste or flavor - is it the bragging factor? I grow jalapenos - cherry bomb - cayenne - anchos - Jamaica Gold... -
