One of the reasons this is a great forum.

I have experimented recently with running the pit at 275° for brisket. Based on some theory from an internet guy. Not a fan of that as my flats are very tasty and tender but not juicy. Will go back to 225°-250°. I have also been doing the foil boat method. Not completely sold on that vs. the...

That was a good post above by @tallbm. I grew up in Fort Worth, and I knew good brisket when I had it. I am amazed, really, that so many Texans continue to go to places like Spring Creek and even a local chain in Fort Worth called Cousin's.

I agree. That sounds like a steal, and my understanding is that those are decent pits. And, I will put in my usual pitch for Bell Fab out of Oklahoma if/when you want to upgrade. High quality, customizable, relatively very inexpensive, and I think he ships now.

Maybe she rationalizes it in that pigs are vegetarians, too.

I have the arrestors installed, too. Still very noisy. Even replaced the valves a couple years ago. Good machines overall nonetheless.

Our LG does fine except for the rapid open and close valves. Very loud. And they are susceptible to the rotten egg smell. Well, that was until I started using Oxy Clean. No problems since. I didn't know Speed Queen made home washers and dryers. I knew they were in commercial applications.

All I said was that I had ribs in the pit. :emoji_smirk:

Wind shifted today out of the SW. Not bad, I have ribs in the pit.

Looks really good. Doing up some St. Louis spare ribs and trying my first rack of beef back ribs today. Can't believe I have never done beef ribs until now.

Nice. I started buying espresso roast beans from a local cafe, and they are roasted daily. Fresh beans...that has changed my life. I have a Breville Dual Boiler and Breville Smart Grinder Pro.

Nice!

Working well for me, hope you get this resolved.

It was you or someone else here recently who mentioned fat side down, so I went with it. It's like red beans. Better as you reheat.
