Burnt ends question
I think you're right, because it didn't really pass the pull test either. I've read that some leave it on until 200. Any thoughts on resting the flat while the burnt ends cook? -
Burnt ends question
Hey everyone, I started smoking last year with an MES 30, and I'm doing my early research for next grilling season. I've made a few briskets so far, and attempted burnt ends a few times. The burnt ends came out great, but the slices from the flat ended up a little dry. Here is what I did: I... -

Greetings everyone
I'm Jason from Chicago. I'm pretty new to smoking. Thus far I've used a Masterbuilt 30" electric smoker. I also have a cheap offset smoker that I will start using eventually. I found this post through several google searches. I'd post general smoking questions to google, and this forum...
