    Basic Brisket Smoke

    Trimmed, rubbed, rested and ready.  Hungarian sweet, salt, dark brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder and ancho powder.  Rubbed last night and in the smoker 20 minutes ago.  First IT check scheduled at 1 p.m. Until then, it's on its own.

    smoked wings w/ Q-view

They seemed to be a hit at our barbeque last night. Pure smoke, no grilling, no frying, but crispy skin. Here are my secrets. FYI...
