I have a 7lb Butt in the freezer that I'm thinking of smoking but I was also considering do a brine for this one so I was thinking if I could cut down on the time by sticking it in the brine solution to also thaw that way. Or would it being frozen just counter the briny goodness?
Thanks for...
Thanks so much for this idea, I just finally got around to Modding my smoker and it seems to really work great. As you can see......I'm not great with Tin snips but it worked out great I also put a vent on the side by the chip tray. Used it the same day and it was the first time I can honestly...
Bhelton,
I did my first brisket a few weeks ago and I used Tatonka Dust for my rub..........I use that stuff on pretty much all the red meat I smoke. My binder was I rubbed Worchester on the meat. It had a great bark and flavor. I've never been into rubbing with mustard, don't know why.

I pulled it a bit early I think 195ish it wasn't fall apart tender but it was amazing nonetheless so I don't even know if I would want to wait longer? Yeah I foiled it at 170 and then played the waiting game.
Well since we had such a beautiful weekend I wanted to try my hand at smoking a brisket.
I started with a nice 5lber from Costco which I then applied some Worchestershire on to act as my "glue" to hold the Tatonka Dust.
I then got my smoker up to 225-240 and lit the Amazen with Hickory. ...
