    First brisket smoke tonight

    I can start it later then 6, but I was just planning on making sure I had enough time in case it did end up taking18 hours to cook. I may try to push it off until 8 or so.

    First brisket smoke tonight

    I was asked to smoke a brisket for a family birthday party tomorrow. I have always wanted to smoke a brisket so I said what the heck why not! I ended up getting a 13 LB brisket from Sams yesterday and I'm going to put it on the smoker tonight around 6ish. I do have a couple question though...

    Homebrewers Roll-Call

    I have been brewing for about a year now. I brewed 2 extract batches and went straight to all-grain. My last beer I brewed was a gumball head clone which should be ready when I get back from vacation today. I also started to keg after the first 2 extract batches. My favorite style is an IPA.

    Best container for brining?

    I use 3 gallon ziploc's and put them in a cooler of ice overnight. I would use a food grade bucket if I had the space in a fridge to keep it cold overnight.

    Tri Tip Question

    So the Tri Tip for the most part turned out pretty good. I did remove most of the cap and seasoned with salt and pepper and a little garlic. I was using my dads old char broil H2O smoker (wish I had my WSM here with us on vacation). I was hoping to smoke these at 225 but since this smokers...

    Tri Tip Question

    Just a quick question. I'm getting ready to smoke my first tri tip steak and was wondering how much of the fat cap I should leave on? Also does it matter if I smoke it with the fat cap facing down or up? I normally can't find this cut of meat where I live and was suprised when I came across it...

    WSM Temp Question

    I just got my WSM last week and fired it up for the first time yesterday to smoke some chicken. I clipped my temp probe to my Maverick 732 on the top grate. After the smoker was warmed up the Maverick was reading 25 degrees higher then the WSM temp gauge. So later that day I pulled out the WSM...

    Smoking a whole chicken with ribs

    I'm going to be smoking a couple racks of ribs today on my MES 30, and thought I would through a whole chicken on as well. I normally smoke ribs at 225. I know chicken can cook at higher temps but I don't want to raise the temp too much on the ribs. So my question is if I cook the chicken at 225...

    Hello from Missouri

    Just registered today and I figured I would say hello. I bought a Mastercraft electric smoker about 2 months ago and I have used it about 6 times or so now. The pork butt has been on since about 6am this morning. I can't wait to pull it out.
