    Traeger Smokers?

    I just bought the GOSM (BB) for myself, so this question is for a co-worker of mine who is looking into getting a Trager Grill that uses smoker pellets. What are everyone's opinions of those? Are they good/worth the money (they are expensive)? How do they compare to other smokers? I didn't...

    Best place(s) to buy GOSM

    BTW -- I purchased the GOSM from Bass Pro Shop online today! So it is on its way. Says it will be here before the weekend, so I know what I will be doing on Saturday! Can someone give me some hints on the best way to break it in? Just rub oil on the inside and let it burn for a few hours? Or is...

    Best place(s) to buy GOSM

    Ahhh... didn't notice that. Thanks so much. Size sure does matter, at least that is what my girlfriends always said... No really -- The extra space is a huge deal. I have been using the ECB and I cannot put a full rack on the grills without cutting them. Nor can I cook a ton for large...

    Best place(s) to buy GOSM

    Thanks All!! Do you recommend the 16K BTU or 18K BTU model? Looks like those are both the same size (talking about the link above to Bass Pro Shops online). -DM

    Best place(s) to buy GOSM

    After much thought and looking around I think I am going to get a GOSM propane smoker. Good decision/bad decision? Where is the best place to buy? -DM

    Best Charcoal Smokers? Feedback please.

    Thanks everyone, truly I appreciate the feedback. Roksmith - if I am reading you right, it sounds like you were very in favor of the offset smokers like the Char Grill or others for the reasons you mentioned? Sound like good suggestions and reasoning. And I appreciate the feedback on the...

    Best Charcoal Smokers? Feedback please.

    Sorry to be naive or insane -- but from looking at the WSM, it really looks about the same as the ECB. What difference is there between the WSM and the ECB with mods? I have mods on my ECB, but I haven't done all of the recommended mods. What is the advantage of the WSM? Also, what is the...

    Best Charcoal Smokers? Feedback please.

    I posted on the Propane forum already but wanted feedback on what are the best charcoal smokers for your money? I want to upgrade from the ECB and I am debating getting a charcoal vs propane smoker. The two things I want are :Must maintain heat well. The ECB is a *PAIN* to keep at the right...

    Using Mesquite wood on baby back ribs??

    I have usually used Hickory smoke on baby backs, and they are awesome. But I don't like the taste of hickory on chicken. So this weekend I am doing a smoke of some baby backs and we also want to do chicken with them. So I am considering using Mesquite wood instead of Hickory, since Mesquite is...

    Help on Ribs

    Thanks a ton everyone. I appreciate the input. I'll crank it back on the smoke time and see what it does. This has helped. Now if I could only keep my ECB up to the right temperature! It does OK. I can let it smoke for a few hours unattended, so it is not bad, but it still needs work to get...
