That is a nice chart! But I am surprised that they kept sugar off the meats... maybe they're talking about using sugar alone as a spice. Then yes, it'd taste weird! They also said not to pair sugar with fruits... that is even more strange!
Well I tried it. The probes still seem to read room temperature just fine! So far so good! The stuff I have says "sensor safe" whatever that means, so maybe that just means non-conductive. They should just write non-conductive on the packaging! Hopefully my probes won't be breaking any time soon.
My brisket ended up finishing a whole 4 hours before I thought it would. So I left it in the aluminum pan with the juices and tightly sealed the foil and wrapped it in towels and placed it in a cooler. It was still hot to the touch 2 hours later when I took it out to cut off the point to make...
Looks delicious! I did the same thing, cooked a brisket after reading the newsletter. I cooked mine to an internal temp of 197 (according to the probe) I did a boiling water test and found out that my probe was 2 degrees on the high side. My smoker was running hot for about half the time maybe...
After reading a bit about the Maverick ET-732 I decided to purchase one. I hear that the probes cannot be submerged due to a the lack of a water tight seal between the braided cable and metal probe. I hear this is normal for all cabled probes. Has anybody tried sealing up the junction with high...
I modded mine right out of the box because my dad has an offset and has dealt with the hot side and cold side for years. I can't say that the mods hurt at all and my problem now is keeping the temps low enough. With a full charcoal basket of half lit coals, I was getting temps pushing 300...
I've had an ECB for maybe 4 years now. And recently I broke down and bought an offset smoker because I thought that it was just a piece of junk that couldn't maintain temps for longer than a couple hours... But now that I joined this forum I see that there may still be some life left in my ECB...
Wow I guess I have good taste. Ribeye is my favorite too!!! I normally cook them in a cast iron skillet though.... I like it to fry itself in its own fat! I suppose I could put a skillet in the smoker though...
yeah i posted a thread about brisket I just made and it said I had insufficient permisisons. So i logged off and back on. and posted in the test forum before wasting another 10 minutes typing in the smoking threads again! and it worked. Don't block my Q-view! haha! look at my recent thread! it...
It's kind of funny. I sent a couple people an email with some pictures of the food I had just smoked. and within a minute, one calls and says "you're killing me!" "I'm going to beg my friend to go to get some bbq tonight, thanks a lot buddy!" I called another and after I got off the phone, he...
This weekend I had the opportunity to smoke my first ever brisket. And I have to say the results were nothing short of spectacular! I followed Jeff's method from his 5/3/2012 newsletter except I let my brisket cook on the grate until it hit 175 and then I finished it in a pan with broth. I was...
