Seeing this and the ensueing posts make me feel vindicated in my purchase. It also makes me feel like Fred Flintstone in a lot of ways. Obviously, you are a rocket scientist or maybe a astronaut. I envy your incredible intelligence, and all I can say about your smoker is "WOW!!!".story28 wrote:Here is a nice "little" machine. Its a Koch GP3 smoker. It has a few cool features like cooling coils for cold smoking, temperature and humidity control, a microprocessor for record keeping and processing condition, and a few other bells and whistles.

My smoking unit arrived in great shape and now all I need is some weather. Every day here for the past couple of weeks it's been a high in the mid-90's most days, in the mid-100's on the others. The one day it reached a high of 81° I jumped on the opportunity and seasoned the smoker by running a load of apple chips thru it for three hours. I rubbed up a rack of pork ribs and threw them in set on the "BBQ" function, 220° for six hours, they came out juicy and perfect. I'm very eager to do a load of smoked sausage but feel I should wait for some cooler days ahead, or maybe just stay up all night till dawn. The smoker is very well built and easy to move from the garage to the backyard on the large casters, and large enough to do a couple of whole hams from a fair sized wild hog. The thermostat checked out perfect on both "smoking" and "BBQ" mode, I'm pretty darned happy and think this one's going to do the job just fine for quite awhile.
I had a couple of questions so I contacted the manufacturer, PS Seasonings, once via telephone, the other time via e-mail. On both occasions I was contacted back within five minutes with a helpful answer. I was so impressed with the customer service and the quality of the smoker I received I'm buying all my smoking supplies thru them from now on. Here's their website if anyone might be interested. RAY

there are no stupid questions but some of mine come pretty close
The link won't open, looks like you got an extra "ht" at the beginning of the link. When I post pictures using photobucket I copy the "IMG" code. It will show the picture directly in the forum.

I used 22-24mm sheep casings for kabanosy and they turned out great!
I love your smoker. Wood fired is the way to go!. How far is the fire from smokehouse? What temperatures do get and how do you control temperature?

the fire is 6ft. away from the smokehouse. I control the temp by moving the "fire" closer to the pipe. By that I mean I just move the logs .Its not an exact science by no means but it works pretty good.as far as temps go I can get er up to 275° 300° no problem for doing chickens and other bbq. I have a sliding damper on the chimney and I use a digital thermo with the probe stuck thru a small hole. Thanks for the comments. orf...
