Update - I've been using AK1's idea with the hand sanitizer and I will never go back to the torch. This is so freakin easy - it takes 5 seconds. 3 or 4 squirts on top of the pellets, touch it with a lighter or match and walk away for 5 or 10 minutes. It gets a great cherry going. I always...
You are opening up a huge can of worms with the question - mainly because everyone has their opinion. I'll give you mine:
I have a Rec Tec. I got it after a bunch of research and I love it and have absolutely no issues with it. From what I can tell, the vast majority of Rec Tec customers are...
I do exactly what lemans said regarding temp and wrapping and I de-fat the broth and drippings once done and put it back in the pan with the brisket flat (see below). I make burnt ends from the point.
As far as trimming it goes, trim all the fat and silverskin from the side with the label and...
I got the Weston 11 lb vertical a couple years back and love it. It has metal gears and the extra capacity is nice. You can pick them up for 160 and occasionally find them on sale cheaper.
I used a maple, hickory, cherry blend for wood.
murraysmokin - The sausage was smoked after it was made, but I did a second cook/smoke on it that morning before stuffing it. I knew I wouldn't take my tenderloin that hot and wanted to be sure to get the sausage to temp to render out some of the...
Something doesn't add up to me. a 12 lb packer trimmed a bit (guessing 10 lbs remaining) shouldn't take 20 hours at 225. I'm wondering if it was overcooked and you have a thermometer issue. Was your temp reading taken in the flat or the point? If your point was at 190, your flat was likely...
I picked up a 12.5 lb prime packer from Costco a few weeks ago and cooked it up on Saturday. Injected with beef broth and rubbed with a 50/50 salt and pepper mix. Smoked at 225 until 170 IT and then wrapped. Separated the flat and point when flat hit 200. Cubed up point for burnt ends. Burnt...
