Looks good. You dont inject at all?

I wasnt entirely sure what to do with the burnt ends. I cubed the point, mixed some real quick homemade sauce up, put it in the pan and threw it back on the smoker for a bit. The smoke was dying down by that time, so I moved them over to the gas side and carmelized the hell out of them. Between...

It needed more intramuscular fat. I trimmed a fair amount of the cap off and the cap that was left was just a goopy mess after the smoke was done. Served its purpose as an insulator I guess. Thanks for the input.

My wife put me on the hook to smoke a brisket for our Easter gathering today. I can do butts and ribs with my eyes closed, but have never tackled a brisket before. I ran all over town trying to find a Choice packer, but all I could find was a Select, so I rummaged through the boxes and found a...

Picked up a 4.5# butt (2 actually) at Safeway yesterday, since they were half off.. Threw a rub on it last night.. Not real sure what it is.. Thought it was magic dust, but found what I thought was my magic dust recipe and my rub and the recipe didnt match.. Whatever.. Set it in the fridge...
