    Brisket on UDS not as tender as I wouldve liked

    Hello.  The link below should tell all you need to know.  The contributors use UDS, off sets, gas and electric.  The point of my thread was can we identify why some folks are having trouble with briskets.  The answer I have in conclusion is no.  Similar cooking methods on different smokers...

    DRY

    Thanks Chef.  I have left a couple things out of my recipe thinking he is a butcher, he knows how to make sausage.  British sausage is a different animal so I guess I need to specify certain things like an amount of liquid to be added and an amount of fat to be added.  I have been vague on these...

    Anyone do sliced pork shoulder?

      Well I guess I can't argue with that Al.  It Is pulled.  And it is pork.  I was just talking about the traditional sauce.  For myself I don't understand things like "chicken nuggets".  Just where are the "nuggets" on a chicken?  Popcorn chicken; I have never gotten any popcorn with my chicken...

    DRY

    Hello my friend.  Well that may also be a problem.  I have the sausage made for me.  I specify 25-30 percent pork fat ( I figure 25% is good enough ).  It may be that the butcher is not following the directions.  WOULD the NFDM make that big a difference?  Maybe I just need to get my butcher on...

    First pork shoulder. Lots of ?'s

    Hello and Welcome.  Which way to lean?  ALWAYS plan on it taking longer than you expect!  Long smokes like shoulders and brisket will hold for a couple hours.  So start early or plan to eat late.  Bone in or out?  YES!  So helpful I know.  I don't know if anyone has done a test on cooking times...

    DRY

    Hello.  Folks I need some advice.  I LOVE sausage.  Sausage is how I found SMF.  I don't "care for" British sausage so my only choice was to try to learn how to make my own.  I never had to worry about it when I lived in Texas as I could get good sausage in MANY places.  My Great Grandfather...

    Anyone do sliced pork shoulder?

    Hello.  THANK YOU!!!  I am a bit of a traditionalist.  What folks are making is NOT pulled pork.  Pulled pork originated in the Carolinas and most recipes have a vinegar based sauce which I don't care for.  What folks are doing is smoking a shoulder, tearing it up and then smothering it in BBQ...

    HOT quick Brisket smoke...

    Thanks Jim.  I thought those birdseye might be a bit strong.  Chili powder in the states is a totally different product than those over here.  Glad it turned out well.  Thanks for the link.  Keep Smokin! Danny

    Got a offset smoker for Fathers Day, new to smokers need help...

    Hello Cliff.  Don't you find that ash sticks to the seasoned cooking chamber?  Or do you use a vac to clean the ash?  Usually when I start cleaning the ash I get it stuck to the seasoned cooking chamber.  Keep Smokin! Danny

    Got a offset smoker for Fathers Day, new to smokers need help...

    Hello Dan.  As others have expressed, we have different grills/smokers/bbqs for different applications.  Some lend themselves better to multiple use, others may not.  I can easily see why BDC3 had a grease fire and as GoNavy pointed out the clean up when using the cc is a REAL pain and you have...

    HOT quick Brisket smoke...

    Hello Jim.  Looks good!  You are right about rubs and seasonings.  A mates missus once saw me salting a brisket and almost had a heart attack!  But once the fat starts to render and the juices start to flow alot of that comes off.  Not only that but a brisket is a big hunk of beef! I used to do...

    Hello Jim.  Birdseye chillies.  You may just be a tougher man than me!  I love the warning on the packaging. Your idea of folding the thin end MIGHT work but I suspect it will open up. What you can do in the future is purchase a LARGE upholstery or mattress needle and then use butchers twine to...
