    Prime brisket heats faster?

    Every brisket is different. In my experience prime briskets go from "not done" to "done" faster. Top choice, or choice, are easier to finish when smoking multiple briskets as they have about a 15-20 minute span between 'not done' and "done". When smoking one brisket it's easier. Hand...

    Does time in cryovac change taste?

    I find that beef wet aged in cryovac for at least 21 days don't have that "grassy" flavor you can get with unaged beef. Folks in the BBQ biz really don't like to smoke "green" briskets (no age on them) - which is normally what you find most in grocery stores and butcher shops. Any cuts with a...

    Hot hold Mac and cheese suggestions ?

    Prime vs choice brisket

    Steers are graded by cutting between the 12th and 13th rib - so the ribeye area (REA) grade is assigned to the entire steer. Briskets are the pectoral muscles in front of the ribcage and front legs. My opinion on grades of brisket varies from most folks because of this. I do believe there is...

    Fat Side Up of Down - Pellet Cooker?

    I go fat down on vertical smokers and fat up on offset smokers. I know a Traeger looks like a horizontal smoker, but it's heat source is below the meat, so it's actually a vertical smoker. If you wrap toward the end of your cook I would suggest to flip the brisket and finish it wrapped with...

    First Chuck Roast... Fail :(

    My guess is that you did not cook it long enough to render the collagen, therefore getting a drier outcome. Hard to really tell from here though.
