How to get super tender brisket?
Smoke at 225 until an internal temp of 203. You can inject beef broth prior to the smoke if you want to but I have found no difference in tenderness in doing that. I use an AMNPS tray filled with hickory pellets so I also don't use a water tray or any type of liquid addition to the smoker... -
First Brisket Effort
Looks good for a first try. Nowhere to go but up further from here. A few suggestions if I may: 1. 24-48 hours before your cook, sprinkle about 2-3 TBS of kosher salt on each side of the brisket. Wrap with plastic wrap and give it a nap in the refrigerator. This is called a dry brine and... -
Got a smoker for my birthday -- rolling through the forums looking for tidbits
Amazingribs.com has some great recipes that will have you cooking like a pro on your first cook. Don't get me wrong, the folks here are great and have some super advice but you can never have too much info. Also get Aaron Franklin's book A Meat Smoking Manifesto. -
Bad luck on Amazin pellets again.
I dry mine out in the microwave by doing 20 second intervals on high and stirring between each. About 2 minutes is all it takes then I overfill the whole tray and level them off with my hand, slightly tamping them below the dividers so the flame doesn't jump rows. Works every time.- scooby

CL find- Awesome deal on my new Old Country Brazos
I'm not trying to start a war here just offering my opinion that it looks like a fencing operation to me and I would have consulted the B&T division about this guy first. Then if it's legit and the guy just happens to be a collector of brand new items then good deal. How do you know that it...- scooby

CL find- Awesome deal on my new Old Country Brazos
Sooooooo..... you bought a stolen smoker? It was less than half the regular price (red flag) ,the dude sells "brand new" out of his house (nothing odd there), and you clearly had misgivings about buying it but did anyway. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for a good deal but I think you know that's...- scooby

What To Do With Smoked Chicken
Thanks everybody. In the end, gumbo won out. It was great with the chicken, some Prasek's sausage, and some Gulf shrimp. Froze some tonight. -
What To Do With Smoked Chicken
I just took a 6 lb yard bird out of the MES. I'm wanting to pull the meat off it tomorrow and make something with it rather than cutting it up and eating it straight. Anybody have any ideas? I'm thinking about making an alfredo sauce and cooking some spaghetti and vegetables then tossing in some... -
pellets in Masterbuilt electric
Follow the AMNPS instructions to a T. Don't shortcut the light time. Hit it with a butane torch right in the ignition hole for a full minute with a slight downward angle to the flame. This will keep you from jumping rows. Once it lights let the flame burn 10 minutes then blow it out. Slight...- scooby

Problem With My AMNPS
Last night around 8:15 I lit my AMNPS 5x8 tray that was filled with hickory pellets. We have had LOTS of rain and flooding down here in the last week so I knew that the humidity would be an issue with the pellets as I keep the bag stored in the garage. I dried the pellets in the microwave for...- scooby
