GOSM

BTW, Great Avatar!

But to business..The GOSM must still be monitored for temp and such. But if it goes down all you do is turn up the throttle and do not have to mess around guessing if how much more wood is enough or is fifteen briquettes too much.

The GOSM big block has a great capacity and with its moveable shelves can accomodate just about any size piece of meat the average smoker will want to process.

I really enjoy mine and I highly recommend the GOSM. But be fair to yourself and investigate the other brands and types. This is not a life or death situation requiring an immediate decision.

So, go window shopping, play touchy feely with some of the display models, and if questions still linger post them!

Cheers!

 

Other than one or two being damaged when the box was opened I have not heard a bad or even less than good opinion of the GOSM Big Block Gasser. The only moan is that the Stainless Steel Double walled version is not currently available. (At about twice the price...but worth it!)

I bought mine through Home Depot. It is not a stock item there and only available online or via catalog order. BUT, hit a father's day sale, free shipping, abd I have not in the least regretted the purchase! Uh, yah, uh try to find a free shipping deal. That puppy has a ship weight of about 90 pounds!

But anyway I bought the thing upon the very good marks it received here on this forum.

Hope this helps!
Cheers!

 

Only the Stainless Steel model is not available. The black single wall is very much alive and well. The Black model is about $189 and the SS model went for about $399. But the black model can be in your front yard five days after ordering it!

Believe me! I know the feeling. Every year I make sausages, both link and bulk, for an ongoing hunter's breakfast which is a charity benefit! I am already being blessed with donated pork butts, venison, bear, rabbit and you name it. I provide the muscle, spices and other stuff. And I love doing it!

And the guys at work will not leave me alone!

Best O' Luck!

Cheers!

 

BTW! You don't get any more snow than I do! :P

I live in the Northeast Kingdom Of Vermont!

LOVE IT!

Cheers!

 

I want to chime in here also. I love my GOSM. It made smoking accessible for me. I don't have a place to store or use an offset smoker. I also don't have room to rack more than about a face cord of wood on my property.

I find that sitting in my canvas chair, sipping a lovely beverage while monitoring the temps is very soothing and satisfying. It is not quite set it and forget it. The temps fluctuate depending on wind, sun, (the unit is black) and ambient air temp. The food is good too!

I got my unit at Gander Mountain.

Have fun and do good.

Edit: P.S. - I get lots of snow here also!

 

Just a little side note, Cajun_1; the GOSM does not come with a tank. So buy two tanks and you will forever be happy!

Right now I have a gas grill and the GOSM and I own three current style tanks. Almost like I run the Department of Redundancy Department! :lol:

Hope you decide soon and get on with your food adventures! Keep us posted and remember we love food porn! (Pics of good food!)

Cheers!

 

Well! WHATAREYOUWAITINGFOR? :D

Take your time and trust all your brothers and sisters on this forum. Seems like you are already set up. All you have to do is order the puppy and you can even take pics of its arrival!

Whatever you decide good luck and God bless!

Cheers!

 

I have the smallest GOSM. I can't remember the model number. It has enough space that I can do 4 pork butts and still have room for some fatties and ABT s. I get about 30 hours on one 20 pound propane tank. I figure that I will use more gas during the colder months.

Hope this helps.

All you need is a windbreak. Nothing fancy. Keep the snow off the top and keep the wind away. That will assist you in maintaining even temps.

You will use more fuel during cold weather but that is an expected norm.

Cheers!
