Where to buy GOSM big block

[cajun_1]

In the past week, been to 4 HD's. Temporaily unavailable means just that!!!!!! None of them would accept my money.

Check the signature.....

Where did you end up finding it? :?:

 

[cajun_1]

Unfortunately it is not the "BIG BLOCK".. We were at at store about 100 miles away and saw one on the shelf. Wasn't going to buy it, but after a lenghty conversation with the SO, I agreed to look at it. Got the price down some..(We spent an hour and a half looking and haggling) I now own it, with the stipulation that when spring comes, a "BIG BLOCK" will be on the patio.

So if I understand all this correctly.... When HD does have this it is the good model and not the "cheapo" one sold by Wally World? I realize this thread has been dormant for a little while, but I'm leaning towards getting one of these and don't want to end up with a junky one.

Thanks!!

My GOSM is arriving tomorrow, I ordered from Bass Pro Shop $189 plus shipping. I had to have it shipped because it was purchased thru an incentive card thru work... too long to explain but I was at the Shop last Sun outside Atlanta Ga and they have them in stock for instore purchase, cant wait to fire that baby up.

Nice price, Illini! Do they ship or strickly cash and carry?

Well the flyer says no mail, phone, internet, cod orders, or dealers.

Sounds like cash and carry to me.

They are 1 hour south of me but I usually order my bass-pro stuff from Missouri to beat the sales tax unless the freight is more than tax. Kind of have to play the game.

If I wanted one this would be the time!

hello illini,
does your masterbuilt have a way to let smoke escape the unit??

 

[illini]

Hi Larry

Yes I do have it vented

It was rather an intolerable situation straight out of the box. Not only was there no way out for the smoke the thing was a steam cabinet also. Water would drip out the bottom somehow because there was no place else for it to go. If you opened the door for a peek it was like a very dark thunderstorm going on in there. Had a couple of miserable failures before deciding to mod it up or throw it away.

to see what I did go here

Use very little wood to get all the smoke flavor we want. I have lots of apple wood (Dad's got an orchard) and make my own chips. On pork 25% of the chips I use are store bought hickory and that works well for me. Less than a quart of this combination of wood will do a couple of butts!

Jeffmkr has moded his Masterbuilt similar to mine and he reports better results also.
It can be difficult to discern whether the vent is giving off steam or smoke but I have learned how to tell the difference.

GOSM arrived yesterday, no damage to report it was seasoned last night and it has been put to work today.I want to thank all for recommending this model it works awsome and my friend who has an electric is about to go pruchase one himself

 

[fuzzynavel]

finally (thanks to jeff for posting the link) i have a bigblock on the way!! so thanks again.. and by the way your Chili Verde rocks

 

[soflaquer]

Fuzzy,

Glad I could help! A close friend of mine has been after a BB for some time, and the link I posted has been out of stock now for a while. I was happy to see the words "In Stock" when I checked it last. I guess they're gearing up for the Holiday rush.

My Chili Verde recipe is very dear to me. It has been nurtured through 2 decades at the Firehouse and years as a Pit Master. Most say it's the best Chili they've ever tasted. Thanks for the compliment!

The Home Depot has the GOSM Deluxe Gas Smoker available on their website. It was not available on Saturday, the same day I ordered one from Amazon.com - same price but free shipping from Amazon! Shipping from HomeDepot.com is almost $60!!! :shock:

HOWEVER - AMAZON.COM STATES THE FOLLOWING:
Availability: This item will be released on February 10, 2007. Pre-order now!. Ships from and sold by Amazon.com.

For $60, I'll gladly wait an extra week :D

 

[smokeeater]

My GOSM shipped one day before amazon.com said it would be released (as per my above post), on February 9th. It arrived only four days later! No tax & no shipping costs. The box should have had wood (instead of cardboard) around it to protect the smoker's corners - one corner was slightly damaged, but not enough for me to care. Built it in 1.5 hours and seasoned it right away - right before a storm front arrived that is staying till Friday. Plan on smoking my first brisket on Saturday! Can't wait!!!
