Hello,
My first post. Sorry for the newbie question. I have only cooked beef brisket a few times and it was not good.
So any advice how to smoke a 5 lb. brisket would be greatly appreciated. I have some rubs and butchers paper and a smoker.
Having never used butcher paper before, is a bit...

A friend and I stopped in yesterday for lunch.
I ordered the brisket, jalapeño sausage with cheddar, OG mac n cheese and the baked beans.
The brisket was cold as was the sausage. Then when they brought it back the sausage was still cold but the...
The wife was reminding me I need to "inventory" our overflow freezer soon. I know I have at least 2 whole brisket, a couple of cryovac butts and a ton of cryovac pork and brisket cut up for sausage making. But you know, "one of these days"......
I have a ys640S and find at lower temps it has plenty of smoke. On longer smokes (pork butts, brisket), I use a smoke tube. I get amazing smoke with this smoker.
...pellet grill and the ease of use so I don't have any heartburn over it at all. I do want to find an offset to play with that doesn't break the bank so if I do decide I don't want to spend hours babysitting the fire, I'm not out a whole bunch.

Did a hot and fast 16 lb packer brisket yesterday on the 120 gallon offset. Trimmed it to about 12 lbs, smoked it at 340° for seven hours total using cherry wood, wrapping at 160° internal, and then rested for 2 hours. Was the first time using the hot and fast method and it worked great. Had a...
...smoke box. Hopefully I'll get it before the 4th.
My pit boss caught fire and I don't trust it anymore. Fully cleaned.. had it 4' from the house, and it melted the vinyl siding. Was doing a overnight brisket cook. I think the controller went wacky. Used 1/3 of a 40 lb hopper in 6 hrs @...
I got the tongue when I purchased my 1/4 cow and wanted to try it. It will definitely be on my rotation from now on! Amazing flavor, almost brisket like.
Do they have whole untrimmed brisket there ?? Have you smoked one before ??
Evrybody that answers gonna have a different suggestion... Go with Plan A and stick to it.. research how the salads, mac n cheese, beans, and such to make them "american" style...
Throw some ABT's on early for...
