    My first batch. Issues...

    X2 on not tying the casing itself, if i make fresh i just pinch them at the proper lenght and cut them with shears. If i doing cured and smoked, tie them with butchers twine. I rarely use collagen for cured sausage for this exact reason, can't tie them. Natural casing for that application My...

    Technical question about wrapping

    In my opinion, if you are getting pooling in the wrap its not tight enough. I use the butcher paper. I soak the inside of the paper with wine vinegar before hand to get a good stick to the brisket. If the paper isn't moist you can get voids where liquid may pool. The wet paper sticks to itself...

    Smoking a 24 lb brisket

    I do mine plenty early and modify temp up and down a bit as 02ebz06 mentioned. I try to shoot for 3 to 4 hrs before eating time. I have found that 1.25 hrs per pound at 250 gets me started on my cook time. Then i go up and down on the throttle as needed. Corey

    Brisket

    That brisket looks pretty lean also IMO. The dryness may have just been due to that. Ive done a bunch of briskets now and each one seems a bit different for moisture. Only way to test a procedure in my opinion is do it twice the same way, if the result is the same then you can make a decision...

    Brisket time.

    Im take, i have been trimming less and less as i do briskets. Basically just remove the big vane of fat between the point and flat. Remove any thin peices on the flat, square it up and thats it. Pretty much 10 min at most. I keep the flat trimmings for burgers. As stated, spog while the smoker...

    Good Cheap Grill Cover?

    X2 on Amazon. The cover i picked up was a company called Supjoyes (no idea). But it was a 1/4 the price of a cover from Campchef. Its been through 2 -40 winters and +40 summers. Still in good shape. Just starting to show a bit of weathering. Probably get a least 1 more year or more. Pretty...

    Best Knife to cut Brisket

    I have a long 14" serrated blade knife i use. Kind of looks like a bread knife on steroids. Basic knife but works. I keep it razor sharp so there is no tearing of the brisket. I like the long blade, its longer than the width of the brisket so you don't have to move the knife much, just slight...

    Brisket Heated Rest

    I did the heated rest on the last brisket i did. Worked perfectly. It was almost 6 hrs. I wouldn't worry about the heated rest for 2 hrs. FTC for that short of a time. My opinion Corey

    Well this is NOT good

    We are fine here Gary Thanks, wife and I have a bag packed just in case. The rain last night wet our property down a lot, I have water laying in the fields again so we are cautiously optimistic. Fire map shows nothing active around us. Hope the rain keeps up around your neck of the woods...

    Frozen Brisket

    I did one a couple weeks ago that was around a year and a half old, maybe a hair older. ( buried in the bottom of the freezer). It was still in the vacuum pack, I said what the heck not throwing it away before i try it, i can do that after if I need to. It turned out perfect, taste was just like...

    Always Wear Your Cut Resistant Gloves When

    I didn't comment on the messed/meshed gloves because as we all know different areas call things by different names etc. I even did a google search and couldn't find anything about "messed" gloves. I figured it was "meshed" but op used it twice in the thread post. Who am I to argue. 🤣🤣

    Always Wear Your Cut Resistant Gloves When

    Good tip. I did a number on my finger last year doing the same thing, cleaning and handling my slicer blade. Cut through my finger and fingernail like it was butter. I bought some cut resistant gloves also. Great saftey tip for sure Corey

    Tine to build another smoker

    The center weld is machine welded so the heat put in originally was probably pretty even and most likely didn't put any real stress into the tank. I think they stress relieve them also if my "how to they do that show" memory is good🤔. Unfortunately no way to tell untill you start opening it up...
Great deal on LEM Grinders!
