    Buttermilk Brisket Brine

    Sorry if this has been answered, you just sat the brisket in plain buttermilk....for how long? And theres is not "buttermilk" flavor, but it just tenderized the brisket slightly or drastically?

    Dry rub

    Thanks. So just mixing it with pepper will give it enough taste? No need to add sugar or salt?

    Dry rub

    Fellas, i have a orange(maybe a tangerine) tree in my backyard. I want to make some kind of orange pepper rub and have no idea where to start. Is making a orange pepper rub as complicated as getting your own rub down? Would it be best to get it down to a peel or powder and how would i do...

    brisket injection

    Eh, every now and then ill smoke it old school. But i like the results of a injected brisket as well, sometimes more. I just was curious if there are any negatives with using beer as the liquid vs water or broth. Not really sure how beer pairs with beef.

    How to get a red/deep red on rub

    I usually get a great smoke ring, the red im looking for is in color of the meat. Lots of great information being passed here. Im taking notes. I dont use cherry wood as its expensive down here and burns quick, but when i did use it it fave great color and taste.

    hot and fast brisket?

    So after almost 3 hrs in the egg, brisket is hitting 165 so time to wrap. Bark looks decent, wrapped in buther paper to save the bark. Im ready to see if the hype is real.
