    Brisket injection and rub combos?

    Good input guys, I only asked bc I attended a brisket “boot camp” to perfect my brisket from a hot and fast stand point. Where we used an injection that was either a beef broth base or tomato base mix with either additional rub or an injection powder. I too enjoy the purist form of brisket with...

    Brisket injection and rub combos?

    hey everyone. I know not all of us use injections for our briskets. Me being one when it comes to low and slow. But when I do it hot and fast I tend to use a commercial injection. With that being said I was wondering some of the many combos of rubs/injection that you all are using when doing a...

    First brisket..advice welcomed.

    I decided to put a brisket flat (9 lb)on last night around 8 pm. It’s my first time ever smoking a brisket so it was a bit of a learning process. I was smoking on my Grilla Kong and at 250. Within 2.5 hours I was at 171. I felt nervous about that. I’m sure it hit a stall but I ended up falling...

    Pulled Pork

    I decided to wrap at 165 didn't notice a stall as it was moving pretty good throughout the cook. I probably should've left it go without wrapping since it was sailing. Here's some from my previous cooks where I only wrapped to rest before pulling my sidekick who was ready for a snack after a...
