    Smoking a 16lb Brisket

    I try to keep my chamber temperature at 220-225 (doesn't always work out that way but...)  I've never really cooked a brisket with the temperature above that.

    I have a 4' offset smoker ( Char Broil 1280 ) Where is the best place to put my meat? Should I put it close to the FB, in the middle or at the other end ? Thanks, BlueViper

    Logs vs Chunks

    I have a Char-Broil 1280 basically a 4' smoker. Do you think it is better to use logs or chunks.  I use Hickory most of the time. If I use Apple or Cherry I just buy a bag of chunks to mix in.The woodman will cut it anyway I want it cut but I can't decide. I usually smoke Pork Butts & Briskets...

    Minion Method

    In the firebox of my smoker do I just make a pile of Charcoal and/or (I was going to use Apple wood also) and then just put like 12 or 15 lit charcoal l on top of it? I can do that with the apple wood also or do I need to use briquettes and add the apple wood to the lit charcoal? How long does...
