Marinating a Brisket?
Thanks for all the replies. He decided that experimenting with a brisket is too risky for a block party and is going with Tri Tip instead. He does cook a mean Tri Tip. Thanks again.- chuck t

Looking for Suggestions on a new Electric Smoker....other than a Masterbuilt 40" Bluetooth
I've only done 2 at a time, and like what was already stated, I think you might be hard pressed to get more than 3 total, depending how big the butts were, of course.- chuck t

Marinating a Brisket?
My son is participating in a block party on Father's Day and was thinking about marinating a brisket. He asked me and I don't know. I'm not a huge brisket fan myself; too beefy tasting (if that makes any sense), so I thought I would throw the question out to the Pros. Has anybody tried it? ...- chuck t

Newbie With A Tri Tip Question.
That was my intention, but time just got away from me. Because it was so done, I bypassed the reverse sear. Maybe next time. -
Newbie With A Tri Tip Question.
Well, I underestimated the cook time and I pulled it at 143 degrees. Pretty tender, but not juicy...and grey. It did have a nice smoke ring though. Maybe next time I'll lay off the marinade. A bit salty. -
Newbie With A Tri Tip Question.
Hi all. My name is Chuck and I live in Oakdale CA. I've been BBQing for awhile, but I want to try and get some experience with smoking. I have a Traeger Lil Tex and a Big Green Egg. As I'm typing this, I have a Tri Tip in the fridge and plan on smoking it tomorrow. I put a rub on it...
