My wood chunks always seem to turn to charchol and stops smoking. Only the smaller pieces actually turn to ash. Is this normal? When I take the smoke box out it starts smoking again. It seems like I'm not getting enough air at the box. Does this make sense? Is ther any mods for a GOSM with only a top vent. I did drill some holes in one side of the smoker and made a vent cover for them. Should the amoke box have holes in the bottom? Any suggestions will help.

Hey Ima. have ya tried just throw'in da chunks in the fire without usin the box ? By box I'm assuming you mean those little smoker boxes ya put in the firebox ?

Chop the chunks down into smaller size.

is this your own wood or store bought?

It is a gas smoker so it doesn't have an actual firebox. It's a 4"X4" heavy metal box that holds the wood.

Have ya seen the "wood Wok" folks have been using? Some airflow might help...but watch for too much smoke initially...

I got the gosm as well, I never use the original pan that came with it, I use a 9x9 cake pan, put the chunks in, cover with foil an poke bout 3 er 4 holes in the foil. This stops flare ups, also give the pan a shake ever now an again. When it stops smokin take the foil off the pan.

I put a stack on my unit, heps draw the air better an gives me some pertection durin rain er snow, the stuff don't go down in the smoker that way.
