    Anybody else hear about this?

    If it's a case of flame out, using a grate thermometer will tell you somethings wrong; rapidly dropping temps is usually a good clue. Probably not a good idea to open the door with a lit cigarette if you suspect a flame out!!!

    Whole Tri Tip Roast smoked??? anyone try it?

    Done many tri-tips, though most were in the 2-5 lb range. Simply rub with CBP, Kosher Salt, and garlic powder and fire away. fyi - Tri-tips seem to cook a lot faster than other meats. Usually a 3lb tip only takes about 1.5-2 hours. Taste great with a mix of hickory and oak if ya got it.

    Great Guy-Movies with Food Scenes

    The breakfast scene from Lonesome Dove was the first thing I thought. When Gus lifts the dutch oven lid & says, "The biscuits are ready." Another great food scene in Lonesome Dove is when they were in San Antonio looking for a new cook. When they come upon Pocampo, he says, "Try one of these...

    GOSM 9X9 cake pan mod ..HELP!

    I use a mix of chips and chunks. I use enough chips to get it smoking initially, and to help ignite the chunks. I use a small handful of chips and about 2-3 fist sized chunks. I do not use foil. On my small GOSM, I use a cheap aluminum grill topper that I bought at Lowes. It has a bunch of...

    Pork Sirloin Instead Of Butt?

    I've done numerous pork sirloins. Treat them like pork loins instead of butts. You may want to try to spiral cut or butterfly cut the loin and stuff it with goodies. Here's one stuffed with kraut and another one stuffed with cheese, jalepenos, and a piece of chicken.

    Trout?

    Be careful with the filets. They absorb smoke FAST and it's real easy to overdo it. I tried filets once and it was the worst fish I've ever tasted. Way too much smoke, even though I was thin and blue for about 45 minutes. I like to simply cut the heads off and brine for about 8 hours. Throw...

    Losing the juice

    The foil is tearing from the dried leftover chunks of meat on the grates. In my GOSM, when I foil, I use a different (clean) grate & have not torn the foil since.

    New member of the family

    Lots of good advice so far...Looks like you're on the right track. I found that every smoker has it's own personality, & the methods here will need to be tweaked according to the needs of your smoker. Best thing I've found, is to use a 9x9 cake pan. Put some chips in there with a couple of...

    Picked up a GOSM wide body today!!!

    Was walking through a Wal-mart that I'd never been in (in a different town). Always walk by the grills, to see if they have any good smokers. This one had a display model GOSM wide body for 138.00. I asked since it's been on display for awhile, if they could do anything about the price. They...
