    Basic Brisket Smoke

    I usually cook 12-13lb briskets.  I cook mine at 225 and the meat temp will rise pretty fast for the first 3-4 hours.  After that it's slow going.  When it reaches 175 I'll take it off, put in an aluminum pan, cover the pan tightly with foil, put it back on the smoker until it reaches 202 IT. If...

    Basic Brisket Smoke

    I'm finishing up two 13lb briskets now. Smoked at 225 degrees all day. Wrapped at IT of 170. They are now at 189 after 11 hours. Turns out great every time.

    White bass

    I have eaten white bass (sandbass) for 25 years.  I probably catch and release about 4,000 of these fish every year. For the past five years my company has an annual fish fry for all of our clients and I provide all the fish.  Every year I get the same comment "THAT is sandbass!. I thought it...
