    Brisket for 25 People

    Well, I just found out that my friend was too shy to ask me to do more than brisket because she thought it would be an inconvenience. I told her that a full smoker is a happy smoker! So now the meat menu has expanded to brisket, ribs, and chicken halves and thighs for 25 people. I figure I'll do...

    Brisket for 25 People

    HI SMF Family: I have been asked to smoke brisket for a gathering of 25 people for a graduation party. I was thinking that 2 12 lb. briskets would be enough meat for everyone....what do you think? Should I go bigger to make sure everyone gets their fill? I just don't want to overbuy and end up...

    Chicken thigh taste test- 2 comp styles vs backyard

    Hi Rob. Awesome write up. I have only read and done research on competition cooking, but I think that they have to inspect your meat before you can season/brine/trim so please keep that in mind. I don't think you can bring pre-skinned thighs and frozen skins to any KCBS sanctioned competition...

    Help! Brisket Failure and Success?!?!

    Thanks to everyone for the advice so far. I think on my next attempt I will just roll the dice and stick with one probe spot (making sure I'm not probing fat) and ride it out. I will also do my best to find a smaller packer that should cook a little more evenly at around 230 - 240. I bumped the...
