    can chicken be "cooked" with a lower internal temp?

    I'm somewhat of a newbie to smoking. I'm using a GOSM. the part couple of times I have tried smoking boneless skinless chicken breasts I have felt it was done long before the internal temp was anywhere near 165F. Right now I've had two packages of breasts in the smoker for two hours with the...

    Let meat rest before smoking?

    I was talking to a coworker today that smokes. He said you need to let meat come to room temperature before smoking, but he couldn't recall the reason. I assured him I would get to the bottom of it. So here I am hoping you guys will make me look smart tomorrow. :) Cheers, Scott

    Wanna build a PID temp controller.. help?

    I want to build a PID temp controller for my GOSM. I BBQ'd for a party with a bunch of friends two weeks ago and they thought I was crazy to check the temp every 20-30 minutes for a 3 hour smoke. I told them I really felt I needed to. I'm sure over time I'll get better and need to check less...

    form notification links load, and then main page auto loads

    When I get a notification email and select the URL to the latest post, it loads and then autoloads the main page. Then I need to go find the post on my own rather than the direct link working. Does anyone else observe this behavior? Scott

    wood is still moist, use it or wait?

    I bought a bag of apple chunks from the local store and they still smell like a fresh cut apple and even have that fresh cut moist feel to them. Can I use it or should I wait? Any good way to accelerate the drying process?

    Can I use a Sentry on my new GOSM?

    I am new to smoking. So far I have smoked only three times but each has been awesome. I am considering some long smokes and would like to find an economical means to control the temperature. I have read about some people using the Sentry Propane Burner Temperature Control Valve. Many people...
