    Time for 28 lbs. of brisket, pls.

    Thanks.  Yes, I agree. But when I separate the point and flat before the smoking it seems to shorten the total time. I have a modified electric smoker oven (a whole other story!) with digital temp control, but really go by my Maverick ET732. I pull the pieces at 198-200 i.t. I do have the smoker...

    Time for 28 lbs. of brisket, pls.

    Thanks for the replies.  This is what I'm wondering. It didn't seem to be right to add all the lbs. of individual pieces together to get the total smoke time. When I do just 1 packer- say around 14 lbs.- with the point and flat separated it takes about 12 hrs. (around 9 for the flat and 12 for...

    Time for 28 lbs. of brisket, pls.

    Thanks for the reply. No problem on the "lateness" - I'm not smoking it until this weekend. 1 1/2 - 2 hrs./ lb. would be between 42 & 56 hrs. It's going to be in 4 pieces (2 flats & 2 points) so I thought that would shorten the time some. What do you think?

    Time for 28 lbs. of brisket, pls.

    Hey All,  I need some advice on this- I am smoking a total of 28 lbs. of brisket (2 - 14 lb. packers). I will separate the flats from the points before I smoke 'em (just the way I like to do it) and smoke at 230 degrees, shooting for an i.t. of 200. What is a good estimate of the total time? I...

    The great water debate

    Where do you think the mythbuster and doctor are wrong? Or, is it just not that big an advantage in using water to overcome the hastle of it? I'm a newbie and am trying to decide if the humidity and moisture in the smoker atmosphere makes a significant difference in the actual finished product-...

    To use or not use the water pan?

    Thanks for the reply. I should have called my smoker a bullet style- not verticle (still learning terminology).

    To use or not use the water pan?

    I have a simple verticle charcoal smoker. Do I need the water pan for smoking butts or turkeys if I watch the heat closely? Is it ok to just let the juices drip in the charcoal/wood fire pan?  Thanks, Jim A.

    I live in Harvest, Alabama. Got a verticle smoker this summer. Very little experience. Look forward to being on the forum with you all.  Thanks, Jim A.
