Oh, one thing I forgot. I am using an oven thermometer on the top rack. I assume it is close, but could be off some. When the oven thermometer reads 240, the door thermometer reads about 280-290
Debi, I have been running the smoker with the propane valve just cracked open, it doesn't seem to make a difference. Like I said, I ordered one of the valves that will go on right after the regulator.
Being impatient, I went down to the local hardware store a couple days ago and bought a new...
The reason I am asking is because I, like quite a few others I am reading, are having a tough time getting down to 225. I would love to have 225 my temp when I am about 1/2 way between the "low" and "medium" setting on the burner so I have some room above and below. Also plan on smoking some...
Debi, those aren't the ribs my wife got at Walmart. I went there tonight and looked. What she got were called loinbacks or something like that. They were over $4 per pound but were awesome. I'll try the ones like you posted next time. I think they were $2 something a pound.
HawgHeaven, Brisket is next. That is why I bought this smoker in the first place. I lived in Texas for a couple years and since moving back to the NW, well it is too far between chances to eat brisket.
smok-n-okie, they were flat. I took a bunch of pictures and I will post them next week...
I agree, these will NOT be my last ribs. I also agree that it wasn't a good idea to do the chicken at the same time. But, I had them and I wanted to try. Never learn until you try right? It really was quite good, but had a chance to dry a little in the long cooking time. Next time I will do...
With a small chicken thrown in for fun.
I got home from work yesterday and got busy. My wife had picked up a rack of ribs at WalMart. They were vacuum packed and I think it said extra meaty, or something like that. I am not a meat expert, so I have a lot to learn in that regard as well as...
Did some ribs and a small chicken last night. Will make a new thread with the results.
But, here is what I experienced. I was using very dry chunks of hickory. I put about 3 pieces in the provided wood box to start with and covered. The 3 pieces of wood almost filled the small box. When it...
I really don't think that would affect it. IF you put in cool/cold water, it would probably lower the temp some, but eventually the water will heat up and then up goes the temp. From what I have read, you want the water to be hot to provide a more even heat.
I THINK I have a spare regulator...
I tried that last night. Tried down to 1/4 turn open on the tank.
Anyone else have any ideas? I would really like to get it where I don't have to run it on the lowest setting and then be right on the ragged edge.
The three options I can think of are the following.
1) Cut a vent hole toward...
Newbie here. I just bought a GOSM and am excited to do a brisket.
I have Mesquite chunks and am wondering how long to keep adding wood? I read on another site that you can ruin the brisket if you keep the smoke on it for too long.
Advise/Tips???
Thanks in advance.
I am new, you can see my into in the Roll Call section.
I bought my GOSM from WalMart and it is the one that has one vent on top, but none on the sides. I seasoned it tonight. I also set the controller on low. Had water in the pan and the vent fully opened. I put a thermometer on the middle...
