Good to meat you Tony - see what I did there?  My neighbors use the same MB you do you and they seem to like it.  I'm currently using a Char Griller Pro Deluxe from Walmart.  It works pretty good.  As far as rubs go, there are tons to choose from.  I've tried Famous Dave's (too salty), Blues...

Hello everyone.  Just smoked my first brisket.  Smoked for 10 hours between 230 and 280 degrees.  Let rest for 2 hours.

Cooked in the oven at 270 degrees until 125 internal temp.  Seared both sides afterwards on high heat for about a minute and a half on each side until internal temp was 135 degrees.  Used Montreal Steak Seasoning.  Homemade loaded potato and cucumber, onion and tomato salad.

My Current Setup.

It never disappoints man!

Thanks guys.  I love the taste of beef and I don't want to cover up the flavor.  I'm more interested in enhancing the flavor.  I wonder if there are any other spices that compliment beef well?  BenA - You mentioned technique, I'll definitely look into.  I think learning the art of grilling is...

I used Blues Hog Original BBQ Sauce.  It is absolutely scrumptious.  This was my first time using Famous Dave's and I have to say, I was finger pinching the rub right out of the bottle, it was so good.  One criticism though, I noticed a lot more burping than normal.  Did you notice that?

Looking for a custom rub or a best kept secret OTC rub for a couple of Show Me Steaks ribeyes - http://www.stlmeat.com/.  I typically use Montreal Steak Seasoning - which is absolutely phenomenal.  I use it on steak, American fries, baked potatoes, corn, all kinds of stuff.  However, I'd like...

Thanks Cliffcarter!  I'll get a picture posted this evening. Fpmich - checkout the link to Amazon for the 5555 model, it actually fits nicely.  The hole for the smoke stack is a good fit and its large enough to accommodate the firewood box attachment.  Currently, I don't have the firewood box...

Thanks everyone! 

Smoked these ribs for 4 hours at roughly 250 degrees.  Used Famous Dave's Dry rub and they turned out awesome!

You for the welcome!  There is so much information on this forum.  I'm having this problem though...of going through the forum while at work and I'm not getting anything done!  Such a hard life :)

This is my first post but I thought I would let everyone know.  I just purchased the Char-Griller 2727 and could not find the cover for it.  I took a risk on Amazon and the 5555 cover works for it perfectly.  Here is the Amazon link...

Hello everyone, My name is Kevin and I am brand new to smoking.  My wife and I just purchased a Char-Griller 2727 from Wal-Mart about a month ago.  So far I have cooked beef steaks, pork steaks, pork ribs, and chicken and I am loving the experience.  My interests include modifications, dry...
