    How many briskets...

    I'm with the popular opinion. My 18 can only handle one brisket per grate.

    Rib rack run

    Haven't posted in a bit, but I'm still a-smokin'. Bought a rib rack on impulse, so in it went with some 3-2-1 spares! And a rack for my accountant, 'cause what an awful thing to have to do for a living... Thanks for lookin'!

    Overnight brisket

    Soundes like a good plan to me. And hey, people loved it and it looked good in pictures. I chalk that up as a win.

    Overnight brisket

    Thanks for lookin', and thanks for the kind comments! Nice, Doug - hope it goes well. I'd like to see that qview. Personally, I like my meat with some heat, but my better half has severe acid reflux, so we have to get creative with spices. Cocoa or coffee grounds seem to replace the earthier...

    Freezing multiple briskets

    Thanks for the .02, Nebraskan! They are not frozen to begin with. *Side question* In north central FL, choice brisket is on sale for 3.78/lb this weekend. I keep reading better deals on the forums on Costco prime packers, but the closest one is 1.5 hours away. Is ordering meat online an...

    Freezing multiple briskets

    Found a decent enough deal on briskets, and I was thinking to buy 3-4. I read somewhere on here to wait 30-45 days after it was packed to open the cryo-vac packaging. A) can anyone confirm that? And B) Should I wait and then freeze? Thanks in advance! I will repay in brisket qview 3-4 times...

    Party size McRib, that's actually edible.

    ...and now I know what I'll be doing next. I've never seen that before. Great thinking.

    Overnight brisket

    Alright here it comes, qview heavy... First, the steaks. My neighbor tests food around town as part of his job, and he got to keep a bunch of filet mignon from Outback Steakhouse, so I smoked a few with hickory and pecan, then I grilled them over lump wood in my Weber kettle. Awesome. And...

    Overnight brisket

    I slept well knowing my FB100 would keep things steady, and my Inkbird 4-probe w/wifi had my temps available at my bedside, should I want to know them. I stepped out into the (Florida) cold, coffee in hand, to see if my brisket had slept as soundly... It looked good to me! I set the top...

    Overnight brisket

    Here goes a 12.5 lb choice packer into the WSM. I used a rub with cocoa powder, salt/pepper, garlic, onion, chili powder, coriander, and a little brown sugar. I'm hoping this one turns out better than previous briskets - finger's crossed! Went in at about midnight with pecan and hickory @ 235*...

    Yet Another Valentine's Day Steak -- Smoked Ribeye

    Your steak looks PERFECT! 100% You are absolutely right, the smoke adds another dimension to the flavor. I won't do steaks another way. Lamb/pork chops do well this way, too.
