I've ordered my first smoker-GOSM Big Block from BassPro. It will be here on Wednesday, and I can't wait to start smokin!
Question #1- I assume my first will be pork for pulling (an attempt to validate my purchase with my husband,who loves the stuff). I have only one remote thermometer- would I use it to monitor the smoker temp for a few hours, then insert into the butt to monitor its temp?
#2- Since it's Independence Day, my first smoke will take place while camping with our sizeable crew. I'd like to attempt a fattie to string them along while waiting for the pork. Will it work? I'm guessing put them on the same rack. Also guessing that random foods will be added by others. Not concerned about finish times, we eat whenever it's done.
#3- Chunks or chips? How much will I need?
Thanks for any suggestions! I think I've learned a lot from lurking here, but the Proof is in the Pork.
