    how hot can you GOSM get?

    Full water pan, no wind, bout 60 degrees out. Just seemed like the burner was not working right, but how do you go about cleaning the burner? Or it was low on propane but like I said, brand new full tank and still had the same thing.

    how hot can you GOSM get?

    I did a turkey last weekend and at highest setting I was getting just under 300, maybe 295. I have had it up to 350-375 before but for some reason it would not go over 300. I thought maybe my tank was low on fuel and maybe not enough pressure, so I put on my new full tank and it was the same...

    Suckers?

    About the only people I know who do not like suckers are the ones who have NOT tried them. The meat is nice white firm meat, but as others have said they have a row of small pin bones on each side. If you can them they make great fish patties or if you smoke them you can pull the small bones...

    Has anyone smoked a pork steak?

    I'm not sure if they are the same but I've done pork steaks a lot, but they are just pork shoulders that have been sliced into steaks about 1"-1.5" thick. The place I get them just calls them pork steaks but they looked like pork shoulder slices so I asked once and sure enough thats what there...

    16lb turkey

    thanks a lot guys, you've all given me some good ideas. So right now here is the plan. I'll try that leap frog method and then cut it in half, should be able to get the breast on one rack and the legs on another rack. I do have one question though, should I cut it tonight before I brine, or...

    Poll do you foil your ribs & butts???

    I used to foil all my butts but the last 3 I have not. I love the bark and flavor I get without the foil but it does seem to be a little dry, taste great right out of the smoker but the re-heats over the next few days it seem to be too dry. The ones I foiled were nice and moist for days but I...

    16lb turkey

    My gosm is the small one so it might be a tight fit even if i cut it in half. I'm not sure what the size of the rack is, I'll have to take a look at things tonight.

    16lb turkey

    Thanks for the tips guys. I'll brine overnight on Friday and it'll go in the smoker Saturday morning. One more question, I'm using a GOSM so I dont have enough room to spatchcock and lay flat. Should I leave it whole and try to sit on my beer can cooker, or maybe try to cut the whole thing in...

    16lb turkey

    I found a 16lb turkey in the freezer yesterday so I'm going to smoke it this weekend. I've never done a whole turkey, only turkey breast. I remember something about doing ones this big at a higher temp so it doesnt stay in the danger zone too long?? So what is a good temp, 325? 350? I dont...

    how many have you bought?

    I'm going to stop today and pick up maybe 4 more, will give me I think 8 in the freezer. Just wanted to see how many other people have so when my wife says I'm crazy for buying so many I can show her this post and see that I'm not the only crazy one!

    how many have you bought?

    I've not tried brining my own before, actually I've only smoked beef a few times, but hopefully I'll branch out a bit more this summer.

    how many have you bought?

    these are flat cuts and already brined, usually they are $3.49/lb here. Sunday was the first time I've ever cooked one at all but I plan on making one into pastrami, hopefully this weekend. Even if it does not turn out good smoked I'll still fix them with taters and carrots, sorry but no...

    how many have you bought?

    with all the great deals on corned beef this week its hard to stop buying them but really how much is enough?? I ended up with 3 a few weeks ago when I got them for $1.49. I fixed one Sunday, not smoked but simmered in the stock pot with taters and carrots, and my wife loved it and says "well...

    Is carp crap?

    I have had canned carp made into to patties like you would do with salmon and really like it. I've never had it smoked but would give it a try. My advice is dont buy into what other people say is good or not good, try it out yourself. I've tried lots of fish that other people will not eat and...

    finally going to try pastrami

    Thanks for that tip Fire. I bought them on Saturday and the sell by date was Monday, so I had 2 days plus I was thinking that since it was brined wont that give you a few extra days? Either way I'll still do the quick thaw just to be safe, thanks I would not have thought about that.

    finally going to try pastrami

    Thanks guys. I thought it would be ok but just thought I would ask. Piney, if my wife had not been with me I would have got a lot more than just 2 ;) Might stop by on the way home and see if there are any left, plus they have pork shoulders on sale for 98 cents now!

    finally going to try pastrami

    Was at the store this weekend and they had corned beef briskets on sale for $1.49/lb, that is the cheapest I've seen so I got 2 of them. They expired today so I put them in the freezer and going to try one next week. Any problems with freezing a corned beef? The package said use or freeze by...

    first time brewing

    I may never drink commercial beer again!! Can not believe how good the beer was I brewed with my buddy. He brought 2 kegs to my house yesterday for the game and I smoked some pork shoulders and ABT's. Home brew and pulled pork is the perfect combo!! Cant wait to brew again. I think we are...

    best beer for BBQ

    Picked up some Dundee Honey Brown Lager and its not all that good. Hardly any flavor except a nice sweet honey after taste, but very little beer taste. Dont get me wrong, I'll drink the other 11 just not sure if I'll pick it up again.
