    Royal Oak Lump Charcoal

    I have been using royal oak lump my last 5 smokes on my brinkman and love it. Burns long and clean so minimal clean up and with hickory wood chunks myself and my family love the flavor.

    Anyone ever smoke a prime rib? need help please!

    Thanks S2K. I read the new years roast thread and saw that he finished his in a 500 degree oven so that's where mine is right now. In a bath of beef broth, red wine, Worcestershire sauce and veggies. Next time I will do as you mentioned and try that method. I have some squash on the smoker now...

    Was just thinking, with the big fat cap that is on it, it appears to lend itself to smoking. Plus you can catch the drippings in the pan for a great au jus. Any thoughts?

    Brisket

    Yours looked great on the photos by the way. I'm working with an ECB myself. Do you put yours in a pan at all during the smoking process?

    Brisket

    I injected my brisket last time and the flavor was wonderful. Used beef stock, worcestershire and some rub. However it came out dry but still had that awesome flavor. I didn't inject it until right before it went on the smoker though. Last time I didn't wrap it as I was unaware of that method...

    JJ's Finishing Sauce

    Well, the ribs were an absolute hit and my family said they are the best ones I have ever done. The JJ sauce was wonderful and used the foil drippings and leftover sauce as a dipping sauce after reducing it down to thicken it. Even basted the ribs 30 minutes before I pulled them off the ECB. I...

    Is meat side up or down the best method for the foil period?

    JJ's Finishing Sauce

    Thank you! BTW the leftover pork is out of the oven and myself, the lady and her daughter all love this as a sauce on the pork butt. If my one year old was up I'm sure he would have a sauce covered face as well!!

    Pork loin experiment with Qview

    That looks killer. Never thought of smoking a loin as I figured it would come out dry but may have to give this a shot.
