    Pig Rotisseri build

    This is one I built. It is 6' long and 4' deep. I built it with 6 shelves rotating on a 1" shaft and it turns 1 rpm. I got a gearmotor online from Graingers for a little over $200.00 which turns 7rpm and then I reduced the speed with sprockets and chain. I have thought about building a rack for...

    first time smoking a brisket

    James, sorry that your post, looking for info, was hijacked by disagreement. I think you get it, that there are many opinions. At this point all you can do is use the info for your benefit, try a little variation and you will come up with your method, and what works for you. Happy Smoking

    first time smoking a brisket

    Hey guys, Just trying to offer an inexperienced smoker a good starting place for a brisket. Always cook mine to 205 and have never had one falling apart, unable to slice it, or dried out. Experience does matter for avoiding those pitfalls. Also number of posts only means you like to hear...

    first time smoking a brisket

    It takes on average 1 and 1/2 hours per lb cooking at 225'. More heat = less time. But never cook by time, cook by internal meat temp and a brisket should be cooked to 205' internal and will be tender. I cooked a 19 pounder today for our Gator Gathering and it turned out great.
