Thanks for the Congratulations.. it's actually our 2nd little one! And it's a girl, god help me if she's like her mother haha j/k... I've thought long and hard about doing it the night before, but with no experience in doing that I am a little hesitant. We are planning on eating around 2pm. I...

Well we are having a baby shower this Saturday. I am smoking 3 Brisket flats. all around 10#'s.. feeding 25+ people. my question is A- Do you think this is enough? and B. I have never done flat's only. what's an avg per # cook time. I am planning on 1-1/2 hr's/lb... is that safe? I'd rather get...

Well funny thing happened. Our Sam's club is one of 60 closing, and they had 25% off entire store.. guess who picked up 4 briskets

I have found one place that sells Prime Brisket and that's Costco for around 10$/pound, so i figured for the extra $ why not try Wagyu, which I have never actually had before, just to compare... haha 4 Briskets, are you trying to have me sleeping with the dogs?!

After smoking 3-5 briskets this past year, and every single one coming out decent, a tid bit dry(choice cut) I think I am ready for the big leagues. Have y'all heard anything about Snake River Farms? Looking @ purchasing their Wagyu Gold Brisket. But for $200 want to make sure it's a decent cut

lol I already have a very nice slicing knife. Only thing I asked for this year from santa. I appreciate the responses!

I am looking for a good trimming knife for brisket. tired of using kitchen knives. Looking for something under $50. Figured I'd get the best reviews here!

Well for a choice cut of brisket, it turned out amazingly well.. and for my 2nd brisket I have ever cooked, I am thrilled with the results! Came out a tad bit dry, but I don't like it sopping wet. it was amazingly tender! Good bark. next time I will take pictures! I think I might put it on smoke...

And your not concerned with the "safety rule" I did smoke only for an hour and a half this AM. cranked it to 225. got to 140 within 2 hours. I am currently at work, for a few hours so I am nervous to see how its going to be when I get back. I called the MIL. it's sitting at 160 right not(the...

Al, Your a god amongst men! That looks amazing! I like the time and dedication you put towards this! I feel like the more time you put in, the better it will taste!

Hey everyone I usually use a vertical propane smoker to do all my smoking needs, well I am going to try my father-in laws traeger. I do have a little experience with it. I love smoke flavor, cant get much out of a traeger. so my question is should I set it on smoke for a few hours(180) and then...

As the title states,promised my in-laws a brisket for taking me to hospital, but a few stitches can't stop my love for smoke!Well been up since 3am. Pulled my brisket to sit at room temp. Coffee on. 4am put brisket on. Smoker holding a steady 250.

I have smoked everything except a brisket, been intimidated by cost, and time. I am thinking of doing it this weekend in my LP Vertical smoker, any tips or tricks? I do have an igrill 2, so I don't have to babysit it as much. Being from Central Texas, I am thinking of a little salt, pepper...

Hey everyone, been reading the forum for a few months, and finally decided to join! Born and raised in Texas, moved to AZ 6-8 years ago. Watched my dad start smoking while I was in High School. I finally picked up the torch and started smoking 2 years ago. I use a smoke hollow 44 LP vertical...
