    Brisket question

    I've done two Briskets now and I did one with no wrapping and smoked for like 18-19 hours (it took forever).  I wasn't too pleased with the turn out. The other one I did, I cooked like this: injected right before putting on the smoker with beef broth, butter and a Brisket Rub rubbed all over...

    Brisket novice needing tips

    Ok, it took 19 hours and I wasn't too impressed. Turned up too dry. I'll be wrapping it next time. It was still good, but I prefer less hard bark and more moist meat.

    Brisket novice needing tips

    I did my first one a couple of weeks ago and LOVED it.  I watched a youtube video on how a guy does it and modified it a little.  Here's how I did it: Rubbed it with John Henry Brisket Rub 4 hours at 275 spritzing with beef broth and putting butter on it every 1/2 hour. Wrapped it in foil and...

    Thank you

    I don't think I ever posted in this thread. From southern California and in my early 40's I wanted to say thank you to everyone that's helped me out so far.  I appreciate it.  Seems like this is a great forum with even better people.  I keep trying new things and I appreciate all of the help...

    Need a non apple butt injection

    Grape jelly mixture was great!  The only issue is that I didn't inject enough into the pork butt.  I could tell when I was eating a piece with the injection and when I missed it.  The pieces without were a little dry and when I got near the injection, moist and AWESOME! I tried a John Henry rub...
