My new GOSM 38" smoker

[kranders]

I just got my new smoker from Costco. It was a snap to assemble and I'm seasoning it now. I'm planning on my first smoke being a whole chicken tomorrow.

I adjusted the temperature gauge with some boiling water before assembly. It was easy to maintain 225 to 250 degrees during the 2 hour seasoning and a box full of oak Jack Daniels bourbon barrel chips lasted the whole 2 hours. At the end I set it on high and got it up to 350 degrees, I think I can crisp the shin on the chicken right in the smoker.

So far, so good...I'm happy with my first smoker purchase.

Sounds like you are on your way to some good chicken!

Congrats on the new smoker. Personally I smoke poultry at 325 or so the whole smoke

I just went through my first tank of propane. It lasted me almost 30 hours and 5 smokes including an 8 hour whole chicken and a 10 hour pork butt.

That’s some good looking Q coming out of your new smoker. Nice thick smoke ring. Good job!
