    Internal temperature question

    Thanks guys - I guess it's hard for me to rationalize cooking beef to 200 degrees. but as you say - it needs to get tender. I'm new at this smoking stuff and still learning!

    Internal temperature question

    Seems like everybody here goes by the internal temperature to know when a brisket is done - but I'm confused about the numbers. The common wisdom is to take it up to 165 degrees, then foil it and take it up to 195 degrees. But every meat thermometer I've sen says that 165 is when the meat is...

    Marinade or inject?

    So, we went to Smart&Final today and picked up 2 hunks of brisket - a 3-lb flat and a 3-lb point that I'm going to be heating up tomorrow. But I've got a couple of questions: Since these are two pieces of meat should I use the total weight to figure out an approximate time for smoking, or since...
