    Temp Fluctuations

    When smoking "forgiving" things such as pork butts or brisket points, I am less concerned about temp fluctuations.  I will let my smoker go anywhere from 235* to 270* without too much worry.  Should I be more concerned?

    First all night brisket smoke.

    I would check your probe.  5 hrs seems very quick to get to an IT of 203.

    Question: Refridgerate or freeze

    I'm smoking a brisket on Sunday however won't be eating it until Saturday afternoon.  Can I simply refridgerate and reheat or do I need to freeze it? Thanks

    Pastrami

    Outstanding story and chow.  Moved to Nashville recently and a co worker gave some of his shine on Friday.  Might need to save it for my next smoke.

    Burnt Ends

    Haven't had burnt ends since moving from KC to Nashville.  Today would end that.   Bought a whole packer at Sam's and separated the point.  I removed all the fat from the surface of the point.  Rubbed with Montreal Steak and onto the smoker.  I used lump w/apple wood and maintained temps +/-...

    When to separate point from flat for burnt ends

    I feel Jon Russell's BBQ serves up some of the best burnt ends in the KC area. JR's has won Grand Champion twice at the American Royal. They separate the point from flat prior to cooking, rub only and take to desired temp before cubing. Once cubed they are done.
