    Smoked Turkey failure to launch!

    So the turkey turned out great even if it wasn't smoked and my Mother in law said I'm in charge of the turkey from now on because it's the best she's ever had so that was pretty awesome. Here's the kicker. My brother in laws asked what was wrong with the smoker and we started talking about...

    Smoked Turkey failure to launch!

    So I'm pretty upset and need to vent. I wanted to smoke my first turkey so we invited the entire family over for dinner tonight. I picked a free range turkey, brined it, got everything I needed to use the GOSM, new tank of propane, turkey beer can stand, wood.. everything. The house is clean...

    8% Solution turkey, Brine still?

    I came on here with this exact question I'm doing my first turkey ever and looked for a natual bird. Best I could find at my local grocery stores was a free range, no hormone, frozen bird with 6% solution. Looks as if there's no harm in brining it again.. just wondering if it's worth it.

    Problems getting good smoke with my GSOM

    Thanks for the replies This is pretty much what I have been doing except cutting the legs down. I'll do that next. The cast iron pan makes a HUGE difference! I do notice that it has raised my temps thou and and I can't keep it at 225 anymore, it's more like 250. I think it's because the pan...

    Problems getting good smoke with my GSOM

    Good information, thanks. I've not had a bitter problem yet but would still like to find that TBS nirvana that lasts for longer than 30 minutes. I've heard of people buying larger pans and having better results so maybe I'll go that route. I know for sure before I smoke my next meat I'll be...

    Problems getting good smoke with my GSOM

    No, I followed the instructions on Jeff's GOSM guide where he says to keep it as closed as possible http://www.smoking-meat.com/media-files/propane-gosm-smoker-instructional-guide.pdf I've played with it before and had it open all the way and all it seemed to do was smoke more than before...

    Problems getting good smoke with my GSOM

    Howdy all So now that I’ve been smoking for a couple of months I keep running into the same issue. I can’t seem to get a good TBS out of my GSOM. I’m getting white smoke and a lot of it.. I mean a LOT of white smoke. Temps are at 225-240 as confirmed by digital thermometers as in plural. I’m...

    Quick GOSM smoke question

    I ended up just using one chunk of wood at a time with the stock pan and it seemed to work out okay. I've never had smoked tri tip before and it was completely different than grilled. It ended up being much juicer and smelled somewhat like beef jerky if that even makes sense. I wasn't pleased...
