    Well, live and learn. Anyone got any good recipes for chopped brisket? :emoji_laughing:

    Brisket cooking fast

    But it’s so crumbly. There wasn’t a drop of moisture in those slices. Underdone does sound odd but I’m still learning how to smoke meat.

    Brisket cooking fast

    Well, it tastes good but it’s definitely on the dry side. I’m disappointed in this one. Not sure what went wrong. Wrapped it when temp was 165 and pulled from smoker at 203. Smoker temps ran between 225 early this morning to 255 towards the end as the day heated up. Overall, 10 hours on an 11lb...

    Brisket cooking fast

    Pulled at 203. Felt probe tender without being overly soft. Sitting on counter for 20 minutes before rewrapping and putting into cooler for a couple of hours.

    No, don’t give up. This is only my third brisket, first packer, and every one of them cooked differently.

    Brisket cooking fast

    Patience I’ve got but briskets always stress me. Especially since this is the first on a pellet smoker. Smoker seems to be running from 235 at the coolest side to 265 at the hottest. Sun came out and it’s starting to get hot so I’m expecting the smoker to run hotter now.

    Brisket cooking fast

    Just checked temp and it’s 165. Wrapped in butcher paper and back in the smoker. How long should I leave it before I check temp again? I was thinking 3 hours.

    Yeah, I know I’m adding to the cooking time but I wanted to give it more time to build that crust before wrapping.

    Brisket cooking fast

    Thx. I’m using my instant read and checking every 30 minutes. The 155 it just read seems more consistent with time in the smoker and feel.

    Brisket cooking fast

    Just checked with my instant read therm and it’s reading about 150. I guess my remote therm is messed up as well.

    Brisket cooking fast

    I put my 11lb. brisket on my Pit Boss pellet smoker at 5:30 this morning, expecting it to smoke for about 6 to 8 hours before hitting 165 degrees. Smoker is set to 225 and is running between 210 - 230. This reading comes from both the digital on the smoker and my own probe laying on the grate. 4...

    Pit Boss Grill Question about brisket settings

    i’m planning to smoke my first brisket on my new Austin XL this weekend and I’m wondering about settings. Do you guys use the smoke setting or set it to 225 for the low and slow? If smoke, what “P” setting did you use? Does using 220-225 still give a good smoke flavor the the meat?

    Question about smoking whole chicken on pit boss pellet smoker

    So I brined the birds for 6 hours and then spatchcocked them. Seasoned with a lemon pepper garlic rub and Smoked at a low 200 for a little over an hour, then finished them off at 350 for another 30 minutes or so. They were very juicy with just right amount of smoke flavor.

    Question about smoking whole chicken on pit boss pellet smoker

    Thanks. I’ll do that. How long should I estimate for total cook time? I know times vary, I’m just looking for a ballpark so I have an idea of when to throw one.

    Question about smoking whole chicken on pit boss pellet smoker

    So I’m planning on smoking a couple of chickens this weekend. I’m going to wet brine and spatchcock the birds before throwing them on the smoker. I’ve only had this smoker for a short time and have only done ribs and wings so far. Is it okay to use the “smoke” setting for 30-40 minutes before...

    Early Father’s Day Present

    I use my small shop vac before every use and I did preheat my grill to 350. Not sure it was twenty minutes but I know it was close. I’ve read that this happens with pellet grills from time to time. After cleaning it out again and getting it fired back up, everything went fine with no additional...

    Early Father’s Day Present

    As promised, here are the ribs I did on the new smoker. 4 hour smoke at around 225 and then cranked the temp to caramelize the bbq sauce on them. The smoker held the temp within +/-25 so that was really nice. Only had one issue during the whole 4 hours. About 2 hours in I went out to spritz the...

    Early Father’s Day Present

    I will be doing ribs on Memorial Day, but I smoked some wings for the wife yesterday to take the grill out for a spin.
