Looks great. I've yet to tackle my first brisket but it's gonna happen soon. I've got a beauty in the freezer just waiting for me to take the leap.

Well worth the wait...and the bones definitely come out clean

Well the lesson learned tonight is if they need that long smoking they DO NOT need 2 hrs wrapped. The bones are barely staying in but I got them out and back on the rack and applied a thin coat of BBQ sauce. Back in for 15 or 20 to set it and then time to grub. Tender they will be for sure...

Well the casserole looks good but pulled it after 3 hrs cause I didn't want it to get to smoky. Have it in the oven staying warm until the ribs done.

Just poured a glass of wine and the PSU game just started. I'm in no hurry 128521

After 4 1/2 he's they finally hit 165 and are ready to wrap

Well 4 hours in and the ribs are still only at 151 and not passing the bend test yet. I started then at 225 but bumped it up to 240 a little while ago. We'll be eating late tonight. Oopsie! On the plus side since they were taking so long I decided to make a hash brown casserole and throw that in...

Wow these entries are all so creative and look great. Nice job everyone.

Hey guys thanks for all the great tips. I did a chuck roast a few weeks ago and I was aiming for 190 but it hit 200 before I caught it. It was super good so I appreciate the advice to take the brisket to a bit higher temp and I will definitely check for tenderness as suggested. Keep the...

Hi everyone. I'm planning to do my first brisket next weekend. Got what I think was a pretty good deal at $3.09 so I took the plunge. I'll be using my MES 40 gen 2.5 with AMNPT in a toolbox mod. I plan to do it low and slow probably 225 until it gets to 165 and then put it in a foil pan with...

Looks great and love the nacho idea ;-) PASmoker73

Welcome to the group and good luck with your build PASmoker73

Red I checked out your post and pictures after you commented on mine and I noticed that you don't have any holes drilled on the side where the vent tube is. I suggest putting a couple small ones on that side to increase the draft in the box. I have 4 about the diameter of a pen on each side of...
