    4th of July Brisket w. Q-View!!

    Danny,      In the sliced picture, can you see how the flat is slightly lifted off the cutting board a little.  Is this from it being too "TIGHT" still?  Or does it happen with the cut of meat sometimes??  I thought if it was rendered and broken down more it would let go nd lay flat?

    NEED HELP!!! Please. Losing heat big time

    Thanks for all the responses. I think the verdict is to use charcoal only now. Small chunks for smoke obviously. I def have enough room around the fire box. It sits up on a rack. I had no idea the trail master isn't able to be a stick burner? Can I ask why? Would you suggest hardwood...
