    Competition Style Brisket (Q-View)

    Another question.  Do you smoke a whole brisket or one of those "flat cuts"  cause when I get up in the morning (probably around 5:30 or 6AM) I have a whole brisket that will be pummeled with slowness all day.  probably till the kids go back to bed for school.  I'm seriously interested in the...

    Competition Style Brisket (Q-View)

    That I did not know, I honestly thought the smoke ring counted.  I have to call you on the ring not doing squat for flavor, But understandably people can and do taste foods in different ways.  In my experience the ring is always rich in flavor..

    RF Build In Slow Motion (Sinks are done!)

    I joined this forum just to comment on this build.  I'd like to say it's absolutely amazing, I learned how to smoke on a RF smoker I have an affinity for them.  Being a person that doesn't have the equipment or most of the know-how to build something like this I sat here in awe while reading...
