    Block Party Planning

    I've done brisket many times weeks ahead of a big party. Smoke as usual. Put in foil pan with about 1/2" of beef broth & collected juices in bottom. Saran Wrap , then foil over that to seal pan. Freeze or refrigerate, depending on how much time between smoking & party. 350˚ oven, one hour to...

    New Kamado grill questions

    So I ended up getting the Louisiana Grill from Costco. Assembled it Sunday night, haven't lit a fire in it yet. Looks great, but my only concern is the bottom grill being right on the heat deflector. My thinking is it's too close for smoking. Ideas or thoughts on this?

    New Kamado grill questions

    In my research, I've been looking at the Bit Boss and the Louisiana Grills. They look very similar, have similar Part Numbers, and have the same MSRP. Are they the same grill with different name plates on them?

    New Kamado grill questions

    That's another reason I'm shying away from the Egg. The Large has a grate diameter of 18". My current one is 20", and I sometimes have to "force" a brisket to fit on it. The two I mentioned have a 22" and a 24" grate.

    New Kamado grill questions

    I bought a Char Griller Kamado Grill about 5 years ago, for about $250.00. LOVED IT. Smoked great briskets & pork shoulders, did a great job searing/grilling steaks, a great multi-purpose grill. However, the seams are starting to leak, and the kettle is starting to rust...bad. So I'm looking...

    Review my techique

    Yes, I made sure it was uncoated on both sides. The bark stayed crispier than when I used foil.

    Review my techique

    Thanks for all your help. I always thought that you couldn't let rest too much. I guess I was wrong. I'm printing this thread out and keeping it for next time...in a couple weeks. WindLaker

    Review my techique

    Chris, are you saying to time it so I go from the smoker to the oven, then serve? I thought letting it sit in the cooler was supposed to let everything "rest", and keep the juices in? Dave, same question...smoke, wrap, oven then serve? Eliminate the "Cooler" step?

    Review my techique

    Been smoking for 5-6 years or so. Having trouble getting my Brisket done the way I want. The last one (yesterday) was the 1st time I used Butcher Paper instead of foil to wrap. Akorn Kettle Smoker. I use a pizza pan under the grate as a diffuser. I always separate the flat from the point...

    Aerial Brisket

    I'm frozen smoked brisket many times. Smoke it, slice it, put it in a foil pan and seal tightly. Make sure there is a LITTLE juice in the bottom. 350˚ for an hour (once thawed) and you're good to go.

    Brisket Points

    Thanks everyone. After consulting with "She Who Must Be Obeyed", I'll be trying the Burnt End route. I'll gladly accept any tips from you guys.  Again, it'll be my 1st try.  I'll look up some recipes here. WindLaker

    Brisket Points

    Good day all, I smoked a couple briskets over the holiday season.  Served the flats, saved the points.  Wrapped well & froze them.  They were smoked for about 4 hours, after being cut off the flat. What's the best way to prepare them after thawed? Cube and make burnt ends? Put them in the...

    Masterbuilt 7-1

    1st time using mine today.  Been smoking on a Weber the past few years. My concern is that it seems to me (and I'm still pretty new to smoking) is that with the Weber, you can open and close vents to keep the smoke / heat controlled.  With this smoker, you put the coal and the chips in the pan...

    Hello from Wisconsin

    Good morning all, Been smoking on my Weber Black Kettle (about 30 years old, bought it for $20.00 WAY back when) for a couple of years.  Just picked up a MasterBuilt 7 in 1 smoker for $40.00 last week... it was used one time. Anyway, started out slow, doing Pork Shoulders, moved on to a couple...
