    My First Brisket...wish me luck!

    The final pics are coming soon...party clean-up aftermath still needs to be taken care of.   The brisket was gone instantly!  It was a huge success, and I'm happy my first brisket was so darn tasty. :)

    My First Brisket...wish me luck!

    Alright, the smaller top piece has been done for about an hour.  The bigger piece is almost done.  13 1/2 hours and counting... There is qview of the whole process.  Here it is midway through.  They're both being finished in the oven at 225F under foil.  I pulled them out of the smoker at ~170F.

    My First Brisket...wish me luck!

    It was in the 12-17 lb range based upon the website it was ordered from.  I don't know...it just seems bigger.   There is a little wide angle lens trickery also making it look larger.  :) Good thing I took the day off work!

    My First Brisket...wish me luck!

    So, today is my wife's 2nd 39th birthday.  :)  We're having a giant BBQ tomorrow.  In efforts to enjoy the day, I took the day off work to smoke a brisket.  So far 70 people have confirmed...YIKES!  Yes, there will be more food cooking tomorrow.  For Christmas, my brother-in-law send me a frozen...

    Cocoa Shells for Smoking?

    Has anyone tried this?  My wife said she heard on the radio...or somewhere about using cocoa shells to smoke foods.  I searched for a bit but only found articles on people smoking (inhaling) cocoa. There is a chocolate factory near my wife's office in the city.  They sell their cocoa shells for...

    Hot smoked Salmon

    Wow that looks great!  I'll have to do that soon.  I once hot smoked salmon when the inlaws came over for dinner.  My wife told me to also grill a piece since her parents might not liked the smoked fish.  Well...I had a lot of grilled salmon for leftovers.  I only got a small sample of the...

    1st Leg o Lamb. OMG!!!!

    Great stuff here!  It's been a while since I fired up the smoker.  Winter was brutal this year.  But I have a boneless leg of lamb to cook tomorrow.  This has convinced me the smoker is the best place for it.  :)

    Babybacks...splitting 2-2-1 over two days?

    Thanks for the suggestions everyone.  It looks like I'll cook 'em up. I've been doing 2-2-1.5 as I like 'em a little "tougher", but I'll spare the last half hour and just do 2-2-1...then re-heat the next day. Hmmm...that actually leaves room for me to smoke something else the next day.  :)

    Babybacks...splitting 2-2-1 over two days?

    I'm having family over for BBQ this Saturday.  They're dying for some smoked babybacks, as a few have tried mine and want them again, but the problem is everyone is out together until late afternoon...then some others are coming over for the BBQ.  So, I'll have 2-3 hours tops before I need to...

    Quick and easy weekday beef w/ QVIEW

    I love coming home from work during the week and whipping up a fantastic, but quick meal.  I've learned to do a few things in the smoker two.  I picked up some small prime rib steaks for the wife and I.  I throw them in the smoker and cook them up until rare. Above, they're pulled from the...
