    Brazos Baffle Repositioning

    New Brazos owner here. I have the removable baffle but what comes.to.mind is why not just cut a small section out of the top middle of the baffle to let some heat come up through the top? I know there are other vendors out there selling a modified baffle that essentially does this but it seems...

    Reheating brisket

    Hey gang, Made my first pastrami a month or so ago and the reheating of it in a steam bath worked fantastic. Seems like it would be a great way to reheat regular brisket. Anyone ever done this. Pros and cons?

    Pastrami...WTF is going on?

    thanks guys, and I should add that when I put it back into the oven I did so in the steam bath leaving the foil over the top. I guess my rationale was to essentially get it under more heat. I was just a little frustrated because there are numerous posts on here where people say smoke to...

    Pastrami...WTF is going on?

    I ended up putting it into the oven at 250°. I took it out at 190° , let it rest for 30 mins and cut it up. It came out great! In the future, I won't steam it on the stove top, I'll just steam it in the oven.

    Pastrami...WTF is going on?

    Did tons of reading up prior to attempting my first pastrami. All the stuff I read said either smoke it all the way to 200ish like a regular brisket or smoke it to 160-165 then take it off and refrigerate and steam it when you are ready to rock. Undecided to go for the latter. Smoked it last...

    How fast can I cook a 10lb brisket?

    well it is now 11:30 am.  my brisket has been on for 3 hours and 40 minutes. Got my smoker up at 275-285 for the most part when temps tried to drop I hit it with more lump and got it back on point pretty quickly. I am at 174 IT on the big part of the flat. I wish I hadn't separated it before...
