I have one for my big block that I have had for a couple of years. It does not have a zipper but has velco strips to go around a couple of the legs. It is thin but it serves it's purpose.
I suppose the best advice is to look around the forum for whatever it is your are wanting to smoke and give it a try to see how the unit performs. You should buy a digital therm to use to monitor the temps inside the smoker, and not initially trust the one (if there is one) on the smoker. It...
I found this odd whn you posted it in a different conversation richoso1, because my temps are just like SQWIB's in that my highest temps are at the top and lowest at the bottom above the water pan.
I started buying "split logs" from ACE Hdwe and cutting them into chunks with my mitre saw. It gives me about a 4 x 4 chunk of wood and lasts 1.5 to 2 hrs each I too use the pliers and tongs routine to switch out chunks and they look exactly as your pictures do. Here is a link to some photos of...
I was really glad to see this pics posted of the wood chunks after burning. That is how mine look and I was always worried that they were not burning enough. This is a very informative post. Thanks to all!
I have never had a grease fire in my Big block and was kind of surprised to hear that you had one... Have others had this problem with the GOSM? I do always have water in my water pan though.
The Big Block has a drip pan AND a water pan. I believe some of the smaller GOSM's do not have the drip pan. I always use water in my water pan and just let the drip pan do it's job (catch drips) and clean it out afterwards.
I have the Big Block and use dry wood chunks in mine. I notice that I will "sometimes" get heave smoke just prior to when I need to add a new chunk of wood. My chunks rarely turn to ash, more like charcoal when I take them out to add a new one.
I'm going to be doing a brisket in the near future in my GOSM. I plan on picking up a packer at Sam's Club. Does it make a difference where I place my digital temp probe during cooking? The brisket has what is referred to as a point and a flat, and I am guessing the point is the part of the...
I don't understand why my temp range would be totally opposite of what you are able to achieve. I do keep my water pan full and use hot water when adding. I had set all the vents per Jeff's recommendations in his GOSM guide at the side of this forum. He mentions to close all to the tab stop. If...
