Question about GOSM ticking

[cinnamonkc]

Question for ya,
My GOSM is ticking...not ticking like the starter ticking...
Is it just the metal expansion/contraction thing?

It's pretty new, only second smoke after the seasoning.

I have only had my GOSM for about 2 weeks and I heard the same ticks. Seems to have stopped after the 5th or 6th smoke.

Cool...glad to know I'm not the only one and that it's not going to blow up!!

Sounds like metal expansion and contraction like you said.

Mine gave a big pop during seasoning and the 1st smoke. We'll see if it happens again this weekend. It's a beauty, though.

My big block does it all the time. Especially right after i close the door. Just metal reacting to heat temp changes. I think a heavier gauge metal cabinet wouldn't do that...

i had a couple loud bangs and pops yesterday during my smoke. most of the time it was right after i opended and closed the door like richoso said. had a real loud one when i was bent down changing out the chip box...kinda scared me at first
