    1st attempt at a brisket

    Mine was not salty at all. Maybe the rub you used was a salty one. I know why mine did not turn out great. I did not drink a single beer. Next time I'll drink a lot!

    1st attempt at a brisket

    We poured the Curlys BBQ sause on it and ate it. Tastes good. A little dry, but not bad enough that my wife does not want me to try again! My pork butt turned out much better, but I'll give this a go again soon. Thanks for everyone's help. Will try and post some pics when the kids go to sleep.

    1st attempt at a brisket

    Well, it came out ok. Not great though. Tender enough, but it tastes a lot like roast beef according to the wife. Going to add some sause and see what it tastes like. I pulled it. Will take a pic and post more after supper. I'll do things different next time. Like make sure I have gas before I...

    Sounds good to me. Just got back home and the backyard smells great! It is up to 190 now. Won't be long!

    1st attempt at a brisket

    Just foiled them. Forgot to take pics of that. Too hot outside I guess, and no beer yet. I have to go get the kids from daycare soon. After that I might have 1 or 6! I did not notice a great deal of crispy bark at this stage. I did mop it down a few times during the smoke. Is that bad? They...

    1st attempt at a brisket

    More photos. The first one was taken when I put them on the smoker. The second was hours later when they hit 160. It is close to 1pm now and they are almost to 170 ready to foil. Please let me know if I am doing anything wrong. This is my first attempt at brisket.

    1st attempt at a brisket

    I hope today gets better. I went out at 630 and put them on. Then back out a few minutes later to check something and noticed that I was out of propane. Went to get bottle number 2 and it was nowhere to be found. Seems my mother in law who lives right across the alley borrowed it without my...

    1st attempt at a brisket

    I'm new here and new to smoking. Last week I tried a port butt roast that turned out awsome. My wife informed me after her 3rd meal of pulled pork that she likes brisket better. So off the store we went. I got a 12 pounder from our Kroger store. Our babysitter wanted in on the smoke, so she...

    Still eating leftovers of the pulled pork. Made the finishing sauce too. Man that is good stuff. My wife wants me to try a brisket now. I think she is hooked too. Of course if I'm smoking, she is not in the kitchen, so she likes it. The only trouble I have is finding the time. I work 24 hour...

    Thanks everyone. The pulled pork turned out great. Got lots of compliments from everyone at work. I am in Pratt Kansas. We have had our share of bad weather this year.

    I've been on this site for awhile, but for some reason have not posted. I figured tonight was a good night to start. I have gotten great advise here! I am new to smoking. I have a Smokey Mountain propane smoker that a co-worker recommended. It is working great but I would love to build my own 55...
