    Converting small metal patio shed into smokehouse

    My metal shed is 2 1/2’x 3 1/2’x 5’10” with plenty of gaps where the corrugated metal doesn’t touch the metal supports. I just wasn’t sure if those tubes would produce enough smoke to overcome the holes. I suppose I could go that route and seal it up as I go if it doesn’t retain enough of the...

    I wasn’t sure if one of the tubes would be enough for that size space or not.

    Converting small metal patio shed into smokehouse

    I have a roughly 46 cubic ft metal shed that I’m going to turn into a smokehouse. I highly doubt it will ever be used for a hot smoker seeing as it would probably require a lot more work to get it able to hold those temps. My biggest question is in the source of the smoke. I could buy a...

    How tender is tender when it comes to brisket?

    Thanks for the input gents. Basically, it wouldn't get a blue ribbon for presentation...I can accept that. I tried it this way because I've heard that brisket is a lot of guys nemesis and wanted to try the KISS method. I will try again using other methods and see what I come up with. Thanks...

    How tender is tender when it comes to brisket?

    I was there in the mid to late 90's...moved back to Illinois and 3 years later met my future wife. She grew up in Fayetteville and went to ECU. I joke with her that she wouldn't have given me the time of day back then. Small world.

    How tender is tender when it comes to brisket?

    Didn't check the IT, went completely by internal resistance. Didn't wrap or anything...just put it on and didn't check it for 9 hours. I cooked at roughly 250 the entire time. After the initial check, I cooked another hour before checking it again. Then another hour till the probe went in...

    How is Jacksonville these days? I spent a few years with that address. One of my buddies went through there not too long ago and said it was really different.

    How tender is tender when it comes to brisket?

    I read on another site about a fella who doesn't even use IT. His way to tell if it's done is to use a probe and if the probe goes in with no resistance, it's done. I did this very thing and have no idea what the IT was when I took it off. I separated the flat and point and made burnt ends...

    How tender is tender when it comes to brisket?

    Smoked my first brisket on the fourth and when I sliced the flat...it fell apart. Is this overcooked or just about right? I've had it before where the slices stayed together with a little elasticity and assumed that was the way it was supposed to be. What says the BBQ gods?
