My name is Billy Hoke and I am 78 year old. Been lurking here for a while and soaking up all the good info. Always wanted to smoke like my uncle did back in PA. Real smoke house adjacent to the kitchen. As a kid he would let me look inside. At first i thought I would build one but gave that up. Finally took the leap and bought a GOSM Big Block. Got ready to fire it up and found that the tank connection leaked really bad. No way I could stop it. I knew they had regulator problems and had gone bankrupt. I called them anyway. Got the message that they would not honor Warranty. Called BassPro where I got it. They are sending me a replacement???. Will just have to see what it is when it gets here.

A few days ago some one had a fire on their porch from one of these. I have no doubt that his was also defective. When I was thinking about building one, I bought one of their smaller heating units with hose and control on eBay. So I tried it and it was also defective. Tried both on two different tanks. BUMMER
 
Hello Billy and welcome to the SMF! Sorry to hear of your porblem with the GOSM. I also have a big block and have had no problems with it. Hope yours is resolved favorably and that you will have many successful smokes.
 
Welcome to SMF I hope they get you a smoker soon so you can get to producing some thin blue smoke and reap the rewards. Have fun and happy smoking
 
Welcome Mr. Hoke. Hope you have as much fun with smoking as I do. Happy smokes ahead.

Scott
