    Propane Smoker Modifications

    I got it on ebay, but that was a few years ago. Without the pilot light line you risk having a flame out with the gas still flowing.......... kaboom! It may never happen but I wouldn't do this mod without it. There must be many valves out there that would work, I just don't know where to...

    I put the whole procedure in the Propane Smoker Modifications sticky thread. Lots of pictures etc. Start on page 4. Next mod I think will be an oven light or two. Then I have some ideas for latter this year. After the hail season. Michael

    1st Smoke with new glass door

    A little update on the glass door mod. After using the GOSM with the new window the past several weeks I am super pleased with it. However, I would change one thing. I would make the opening even larger. I had a concern that the door might be weaker or unstable with this large of an opening...

    Significant GOSM Modifications witn QView

    Good job your smoker looks great. The window looks real good. If I had to do it all over again I would put the window a little higher like yours and make it longer. I installed the SFB in March of 2005, but I had the info over on the Smokeymountain forums until recently when I posted here...

    Propane Smoker Modifications

    I forgot to get a photo of that. I'll try and get one up later. I fed it up the inside behind the rack holders to the top of the smoker.

    Propane Smoker Modifications

    I've added some photos of the Oven Thermostat mod. Here is a copy of a post from the smokey mountain forum where I got the idea. I have added some comments in parentheses. All of this came from a member there Ron Olson http://groups.yahoo.com/group/smokey...n/message/3360...

    1st Smoke with new glass door

    Thank you all the compliments. I posted a brief description of the build in the Propane Smoker Modifications section (page 4), and there is a new post with the build list & pictures. Basically I ordered a piece of tempered glass from a local glass company. Took some 1/8" thick by 2" wide steel...

    Propane Smoker Modifications

    Yesterday I took the newly modified GOSM out for a ride. Here are the results of my 1st smoke with the new glass door. I really like seeing inside the smoker while it's working. The glass does get a film on it while its smoking, but it not enough to block the view. Here is a picture taken after...

    Propane Smoker Modifications

    I cleaned it up for the photos. Just soaked them in the sink and used that yellow/green sponge thingy and a lot of scrubbing. I keep another thermometer on the shelf in the middle, and just guess from there. The glass doesn't affect the temps as far as I'm concerned. It is a hair thicker than...

    Propane Smoker Modifications

    All you need is a yahoo email, no 'program' to sign up for that I know of. There are quite a few photo's there. It would be worth your time to look at them, I will try to get them up to Photobucket sometime but right now they are there for the viewing.

    Propane Smoker Modifications

    For any of you with vertical smokers you may like some of the mods I've done to my Great Outdoors Smokey Mountain smoker with a 16" door. First was the addition of a Side Fire Box from Char-Griller. I made a template of the opening and used that to trace it on the smoker. I used the circular...

    1st post Glass door mod

    try to figure out how to post. when I hit the submit new thread button the page goes blank? Also I can't get my photos down to 97kb. This seems really low-res to me. Is there a photos section here I can upload to? Ok seems to work now I hit the second button and it worked.
