Does anyone have experience with the Great Outdoors Grill Co. 34" Wide Body
Smoky Mountain Gas Smoker?
I am trying to decide between the Weber Smokey Mtn. and a gas smoker.
I
would like to smoke at a very low temp, as low as 100F, as well as the
usual
225F and I would like to leave the smoker alone for a long time
without concern.
Any thoughts from users of the Great Outdoors product would be highly
appreciated, as well as experiences of other gas grills.
Thanks,
Kent

Kent, I have customers who use the Great Outdoors smoker, and they seem to
like it. When I've talked about their experiences using it, I have the
impression that it lacks the air tightness of the WSM and so would be
difficult to regulate temp via lump or charcoal alone. With the gas burner,
however, you can just dial in the temp, using wood chunks to provide the
smoke.

NO! If you want low temperature stability, with smoke, this
unit won't do it for you.

The lowest you'll be able to generate smoke with this unit,
*and* maintain a stable temp is around 150-160 F.

Trust me on this Kent, I've tried it. It's a great smoker, but
not for that temp range.

If you want smoke at 100 F, see my previous post(s) about
"smoke without heat". Just ask these guys, they'll back
me up on this

Reg, I remember clearly your post and again, thanks. I'm absolutely sure
you're right on. The certified tightwad in me requires me to chase any and
all possible cheap low temp. choices. My late mother would turn over in her
cremation urn if I didn't.
Thanks again,
Kent

Hi Juke,
Just a quick aside. I knew Ken Wolfe in a non cooking capacity before he
retired and visited him at his Lafayette home. He gave me a copy of this
cookbook. I had some fresh sturgeon roe from the delta, and he cured it into
the best cavier we have ever had. I had heard he passed away. A good man,
and a great chef/teacher.
Kent

I don't have the foggiest how this happened. Again, sorry for the
unnecessary
clutter. God knows we get enough of that
..
Kent

BTW, it would be my view that this message should be top posted.
Have a productive, enlightened day!
