Hi, all:
I've been lurking SMF for awhile, but this is my first post.
I've been living in Spain for the past eight years. About three years ago, I started having serious Q withdrawals and decided that drastic action was needed.
I searched high and low and decided that I wanted a GOSM gas smoker. The only problem is that they don't use propane in Spain; they use butane. Butane has a different fitting.
So I bought a GOSM and gave it to my brother in Illinois, so that we'd always have access to Q when I visited the family back home.
I then bought a WSM from Amazon and mailed it--at great expense--to my home in Spain. Yes, they do sell charcoal in Spain.
I've since been smoking meats in Spain for three years. Quite possibly, the only person smoking meats in Spain.
Whenever I fire up the WSM, the neighbors gaze out the window--dumbfounded. One neighbor admitted that at first glance, he thought I was burning the trash--but it smelled too good to be trash.
I will soon be moving back to the US. And guess what. I've already bought my own GOSM from WallyWorld.com. It's sitting in my brother's shed (still disassembled in the box), right next to the GOSM I bought him three years ago. I didn't have the heart to take my brother's. The two of them have become quite attached.
Between my WSM and my bro's GOSM, I've smoked the following: pulled pork; brisket; spares; chicken; apple-brined turkey; salmon; leg of lamb; one sweet potato; chorizo sausage; and...a coconut. The coconut was...well, it was different.
I look forward to participating and learning with the rest of you on these forums.
Smoke till you croak,
Fat Sal
