    Real Life Brisket from Smoker to Oven Story

    Interesting read tallbm. Sometimes for me, improvising is the most exciting part about smoking/BBQ'ing, especially if you're under the gun or have a house full of hungry people. I stopped foiling brisket years ago after repeated instances of it coming out tasting like pot roast. (I HATE that)...

    How many smokers & grills do you own?

    I started with a Model 810-5330-S Brinkman Vertical Gas (propane) Smoker from Home depot. It makes REALLY good pulled pork. My Landman 3895GWLA Smoky Mountain Vertical Gas Smoker, 38-Inch was added in 2012. I nicknamed it the "Gun Safe" for obvious reasons. It has a large capacity for bigger...

    3.3 Pound Corned Beef on Smoker

    170-180 is usually when I start probing. It wont get tender enough until closer to 200. Do not cook to a certain temp; cook it until it is tender. The toothpick probing will tell you when it's done.

    3.3 Pound Corned Beef on Smoker

    Before you cook it, make sure you know how salty you want it; CB is VERY salty and when steamed or braised, the salt will leach out, however when smoked, it will not! If you are going to smoke it then slice it for sandwiches, I suggest soaking/submerging the whole roast in clean ice water for...

    11th anniversary dinner prime sirloin cap

    I totally agree. Cooler resting is a "crutch" to buy you some time if you finish cooking too early before dinner or if you have to travel with a pre-cooked/smoked item. However if you are eating soon, put it on a serving plate or small cookie sheet and just tent it with foil (don't wrap it) for...
