    Newb brisket-round 1

    Try putting it on fat side down next time so the bottom won't get hard. I always put the fat side towards the heat source, otherwise it looks like you did a good job.

    How to ruin perfectly good Kielbasa

    When I heat smoke sausage or Kielbasa, I put them in my instantpot and steam for 5 minutes then put them on the grill to finish. That usually takes care of tough casings for me.

    Seasonings/Rubs - Buy or Make Own?

    My first smoke on my new OK Joe.

    This is my first smoke on the OK Joe. After using a pellet smoker for a few years. Qt one point I let the temp get too high, I over compensated when the temp dropped below 200. I have much to learn. I can hardly wait to do a brisket on this thing.

    Free wood

    My son offered me some mulberry wood from a tree he cut down on his property. I have never heard of mulberry being used for smoking meat. Is it good wood to smoke with, what are it's properties and what goes best with it?

    Finishing Sauce for Brisket

    This all sounds good but personally I don't like sweet sauces on brisket. I like savory sauces on brisket. What I like to do is take the pan juices, about a cup and mix a tablespoon of better than bullion roasted beef flavor and mix with a cup of hot water, add a tablespoon of worchestershire...

    Time is not a consideration since I am retired. I just do not have the room for two smokers.

    Ditching the pellet smoker for a stick burner

    Yesterday my wife and I were at Lowe's home improvement to get her some paint for a craft project she has going on and I swung by the grills and was looking at an OK JOE Highland when she said to me, "you have been wanting a new grill, do you want to get that one?" I was almost too stunned to...
