    Sous vide brisket?

    Great thread!  My sous vide circulator arrives tomorrow, which means sous vide/smoking shenanigans this weekend. I'm really interested in a sous vide corned beef that I can finish on the smoker.

    The best part of Thanksgiving is tipsy sweet potatoes - contains a hearty amount of whisky.

    Masterbuilt not working properly

    When I first got it I noticed the temp was off by about 15-20 degrees. I could work around that. But as I used it more, the temp discrepancy would get worse and worse, until after 4 months it would be off by 50-60 degrees. I was skeptical when MB told me that a new control panel would fix it...

    Masterbuilt not working properly

    I called MB about 4 months after buying my Gen 2 40". They shipped a new control panel free of charge, no questions asked the next day. Their customer service is excellent.

    Time To Try A Brisket

    I put the probe in the flat (thanks, bearcarver!). Even though the point is thicker, it cooks faster due to all of the fat.

    Pork Spare Ribs and Smoked Mac & Cheese (QView)

    I have never heard of Market Street and I just love over in Tarrant County. Looks like the closest one to me is in Colleyville. I might have to check it out next time I'm visiting my brother in Grapevine. I'm going to have to try some mac n cheese. Good smoke!

    beef brisket

    I do seasoned salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder. Maybe some smoked paprika. I don't like my brisket to be sweet, so I stay away from the brown sugar.

    A Texas Tradition: The Mexican Inn in Fort Worth

    BTW, this is a good book about that era in Fort Worth if you haven't read it already:

    A Texas Tradition: The Mexican Inn in Fort Worth

    I miss the old downtown Mexican Inn. I used to eat there weekly when I worked at the Star-Telegram. The wife and I used to eat at the one on Lancaster a lot when we lived on the east side. My parents ate at the one on 8th Avenue after each of their 6 grandkids were born (5 at Harris, 1 at...

    Brisket questions

    I have tried both and can't tell a real difference. That might be because I trim the fat cap down to 1/4" or so.

    Stand for your smoker?

    My 5-year-old son has been bugging me to "build something" with him. I think a little stand like Runt's with casters would make a fine father/son project this weekend.
