    First Brisket smoke and need some pointers.

    IMHO - I love the taste of the Brisket (beef) so I only use a rub of salt, fresh ground black pepper and some granulated garlic. I get more of the beefs flavor using this simple rub. I have had some other peoples Briskets that all I could taste was the rub.

    New Smoke Vault 24"

    Just spray it down with a little PAM - fire it up with some chips/chunks in the smoker box. When I broke mine in I started off low temp for a hour then high temp for an hour.

    Dogs...What breed do you have and whats their name

    Gunner - Thanks for sharing. I know from experience how hard it is to lose such a great, loyal, loving companion. George gave his life to protect you and his home. Hope you find it the right time to share your life with another dog as there is no way to describe the unconditional love a dog...

    Ziploc vac/foodsaver

    The Reynolds handi-vac I have works perfect! I have never had a bad lose vacuum and I re-use my bags after cleaning. I think it is a great system. I was able to find a great deal on gallon size bags and must have 25-30 items vacuum sealed in the freezer - highly recommended.

    King Kooker 38" smoker review

    Thanks for the great review! I currently have the Kenmore version and it has been trouble free and overall a good buy. How do you rate the KK vs the Kenmore ( aside from having to open the fron door to load wood and add water)? Is the KK larger? because that is what I am looking for.

    A Cleaning Question

    Easy-off makes a spray especiall for bbq's - I have used on my GOSM and even my wood stove with good results. No matter what and how often I use my smoker when I start I run as high as it will go to kill anything that might need it and then turn it down to the temp I am going to be using. I...

    2 Stage wings? Thoughts?

    I have had great luck with smoking the wings on low for about an hour - this just gets the smoke flavor in them. Then the next day I fry them then toss with sauce. SmoFried is really good.

    Traeger Pellet Smoker

    Get Both! Seriously I am looking at a Traeger also - the WSM is a GREAT smoker but I want the ease and set-it-and-forget-it cooks that the Traeger can provide - JMHO.

    How does everyone shop to maintain the budget?

    Giant Eagle - if you watch for the sales and BOGO items you can save a lot and you earn 10 cents (and sometimes 20 cents) for every $50 spent ( we buy gift cards to shop and eat elsewhere ) - I love going to get gas and getting 30 gallons and seeing 000.00 on the pump!

    WalMart MiniMe Brisket Question

    I get all my briskys from Wallyworld - you have a flat - full packers are always over 10 Lbs. (at least at my WM) Numerous ways to do it but on a smaller piece of beef like what you have you can dry out very quickly. Injecting would help. I would start fat side up - then flip and add some...
