    First food in the smoker

    Did they move bacon out of the meat group into it's own food group?   I'm just kidding.. I know what you're saying but I couldn't resist.

    First food in the smoker

    Well they tasted great, but I did make a few rookie mistakes. First, I put them parallel to the grates because they sat better that way. I didn't think through what would happen after the peppers got soft. Oops. When I pulled them out, there were a couple lonely pieces of bacon who lost their...

    First food in the smoker

    After I made these last night, I experimented with some spice mixtures in some left over cream cheese. I think I have a pretty good mix for the next batch I do. I have a rub that I cam up with for chicken a while ago, and that with a litte cayenne and a couple of other things, it came out pretty...

    First food in the smoker

    Well this isn't going to be all that exciting because it's the middle of the week and I don't have time to smoke anything properly, but my father in law is coming over for dinner tomorrow and I wanted to fire up some ABT's for him. It also gives me a reason to make some smoke.  I made them up...

    I am so bummed

    If you have a Gander Mountain near you, go check them out. My local store had the Smoke Vault 24 for $299 and the Smoke Hollow 38" for $229. I felt like the Smoke Hollow, though not as wide as the GOSM and the Smoke Vault, was better constructed. It does have an issue of running hot but the...

    Let's try this again.

    So I didn't have that great of luck with getting my GOSM smoker and I was about to give up on a smoker for a while. Last night my wife and I got a rare chance to go out to dinner and have some time away from the kids. We ended up doing a little shopping after and swung by Gander Mountian.. They...

    It's not like they wouldn't let me order one. I'm just not going to spend weeks shipping smokers back and forth until I get one undamaged. On top of that, they're now out of stock online too. It's just not meant to be. I'll spend my time on other things.

    I can't get one shipped without getting beat up and I even called the one that's over an hour from me and they don't have one. I guess it's not meant to be. Honestly this whole experience has been so frustrating that I'm just going to forget about a smoker for a while. I'm not going to pay 20-30...

    When I emailed them and asked them about others carrying the big block, they said that ordering through them would be much more expensive. I think they do that so they don't compete with their retailers.

    Smoker Suggestions

    Thanks for the suggestion, but those are out of my price range for this purchase.  Somewhere around $200 would be good. Thanks though..

    Smoker Suggestions

    Anyone have suggestions for a propane smoker other than the GOSM Big Block since that isn't going to work out for me? Thanks, Rich

    I think this post was premature of me. I had one of the most frustrating times dealing with their customer service that I've had in a long time. In the end I told them to just please pick it up and credit me and I'll spend my money elsewhere. I emailed Landmann and asked if anyone else was going...

    So the second smoker showed up today and it also has damage. Not as bad, but there are 2 dents, a corner that's ground up a little and a paint chip on an edge. Neither of the dents is where it will effect the door, but the paint is chipped on one of them. That means that I'll have to paint 3...

    OK.. BPS is going to have FedEx pick up the damaged one and they've already put in the order for a replacement. I can't ask for more than that, except for it to be packaged properly.

    OK, so FedEx delivers the smoker today and I was excited to see that there was no damage to the box. Unfortunately the smoker is still damaged. The top is caved in a litte and that has also bent the top of the door frame so the door won't close all the way. This really wasn't what I was looking...
