Fixin' to do my first smoke on my new GOSM wide body. Pig ribs, beef short ribs, couple fatties and some smoked sausage. MMM!! Hope it turns out good. Wish me luck!
 
Good Luck and don't forget the Q VIEW

Good luck on that first smoke. I'll be looking for the Q View!
 
1st smoke went pretty good. Factory temp gauge was about 30 degrees off, though. Had an oven thermometer from a while back I used, but I need a good accurate thermometer. Any suggestions? Ribs turned out tender, the beef and the pig. Fatties were immediately consumed so I guess that passed the test. Smoked sausage was also pretty tasty. Sorry. No q view this time. Camera batteries were dead. Hey, I can't think of everything. There is room for improvement, but I don't think that'll be a problem as I learn the smoker better.
 
Your more amitious than I am on a first smoke. I have a spatched yard bird due to be out in another hour on my first "hot" smoke in the GOSM.

Everything I have read say's you want to buy a Maverick ET-73 Thermomenter. about 39 bucks and shipping is the best I could find it for.
 
Glad everything turned out for you.
No worries on no Qview, I just closed my eyes and imagined pulling a nice fattie off the smoker and the smiles on all of your family/guests faces when they tasted it.
Next time charge up some batteries for the camera cause the only thing better than a Qview is being there in person, till smell and taste-o-vision.
 
Man that was a boat load of stuff for a first smoke! Glad it come out great.
And welcome to SMF
