When I first bought my WSM I added tabs to the bottom and used the top grate to BBQ, lot's of heat, however after a few times the "stainless" plating burned off and then the steel warped, ...what I have found to work very well is place the grates in a large black garbage sack and spray with oven...

Sounds like they have you covered, I agree no heat usually means a fuel problem, but I'm amazed at what I'm reading, 35-40 minutes preheatng?  I have a GOSM using propane and I'm at smoking temps 210°-225° in less than 10 minutes, if even that long, you Master Forge people correct me if I'm...

Hi, I have a GOSM propane smoker which is similar to yours, I installed a needle valve after the regulator for more precise temp control (try a needle valve search here for more info and pics) and I installed a baffle under the top vent to slow the heat down from rushing through the smoker...

Man that looks good!  I have a brisket in the freezer just waiting, ...maybe next weekend. Thank you for the taters and onion tip, I've always wondered about taters in a pan, did you smoke them whole or cut in half and I love onions, this is definetly on the to do "soon" list. Gene

Since Todd is coming from the East that would make it lop sided, we'll have to come from the west and even it out, ...two more won't make any difference since it sooo big, and for desert we can sample some of that Tahitian Vanilla ice cream you're gonna make.   Fantastic!!!  I have a bad case...

Out of necessity, not being able to ship Todd's dust and pellet's here without them being sprayed with insecticide, I built a smoke generator, ...before I started I read all that I could find about what causes creosote, ...simply put, creosote is caused when the smoke is cooled, so..., because...

Your Madagascar beans are probably just as good as the Tahitian beans, ...you said you "added" rum for the liquid, ...you probably know this, but we keep the beans in a small bottle filled with rum, then we use the liquid as vanilla and just keep refilling it, you can also use brandy or cognac...

Being a diabetic this sounds good, thanks for the recipe, ...I'll give it a try with Tahitian vanilla. Gene

Hey nordo, here's some info that I hope helps and  doesn't confuse you, ...I smoked a spatchcocked 13# turkey for Christmas dinner in my WSM with a grate temp of 253°and  according to my Maverick it reached 167° in the breast in 2 1/2 hours!  I'll be waiting to see if you have the same results...

Thanks Moikel, That's interesting, I live on an extinct volcano (at least for now) I think I can find some volcanic rock, we do have refractory bricks and mortar but it's very expensive, the rock would cut the cost considerable. Thank you Gary for allowing this conversation, out of board...

Here's a AMPNS video link: I hope that helps, Gene

That's neat, I have looked at some builds online and they seem way to complicated, overbuild in my opinion, but I confess I don't know diddly about a pizza oven, hey, they can't be that heavy they have then in Roulottes, ...that would be an interesting thread, pics of wood pizza stoves here...

Looks real good Merv, I was wondering about cutting it into small chunks, thanks for the lesson. Heh, heh, listen to Al, he thinks it will make it to the freezer, ...brother, after you make some it probably won't last more than a week, ...taking it out of the freezer to thaw just slows down the...

Hey Harley, Do you like the smoked flavor on meat? It's just as good on cheese, I smoked some recently  with cherry and it's all gone, smoked cheese is something that you just have to nibble on every time you open the fridge door.  I would suggest you save your money for the soldering iron...

Wow bro, Lookin' good so far, ...99% of the pizza here is cooked in a oven like that, we love the wood smoke taste, ... I've always toyed with the idea of building one, but held off because they were too big (actually I have a space about 3'x3' where I imagined it would go, but Mrs. JPT just...

To tell you the truth Val, the family didn't like it, that was ten years ago, since I mentioned it today I asked Mrs JPT where it was (I wanted to read the label) and all I got from her was a sheepish grin, so I guess it got filed in the circular file. Gene

Nice looking sausage you have there, I too am curious about the pineapple sausage, I tried Poli's recipe and it was horrible, even the cats turned their noses up at it. Thanks raptor I really want to try it again, I'll try it fresh. Gene

Iaorana Val, Good to see you again, looks like the experts have ya covered, all I can do is add to the gee whiz file, ...I've read that the scientist have found that some salts in different parts of the world have trace minerals in them that cure the meat, unknown to the "old timers," I have...

Thanks for the offer Gary, I'll take a rain check, ...immediately  after I read (even before I copied it into my cheese folder) Al's Mozz post I ordered some and had it sent to the cousin in Costa Mesa, however she is a recently divorced working mom with three kids, so I don't press her to take...

Looks good Gary, I'm really wanting to try making some Mozz and you're just making it harder to wait, ...my citric acid and rennet is sitting in Costa Mesa just waiting to be put in the mail. Gene
