    Beer Brine

    Not necessarily brining, but my buddy smoked some chicken quarters in a pan with an IPA and it was fantastic. So maybe that would lend itself to a brine as well.

    noobie brisket smoking questions

    You'll get 100 different opinions if you ask 100 different people, but here are my opnions: -I don't worry about getting it to room temperature. The amount of time it'd take for 10+ lbs to warm up makes it impractical, and I'm not sure it makes that much of a difference. -I use only wood...

    I've been lurking for a while, but finally joined today. I'm a native Texan, and as such, enjoy beef in all shapes and forms. I've got a Masterbuilt dual fuel smoker (propane/charcoal), but I pretty much use it like a stick burner (only use propane except to get the wood going). I grew up...
