    Brisket in Fort Collins - with Pics!

    The problem is fuel. I was using Cowboy Charcoal (first time) and it just didn't burn hot enough. With other charcoal I couldn't keep the temp low enough. I have pulled it off (dropped to 154) and it is in the oven at 250. I forgot to take a picture of it, but it is pretty black and crusty...

    Brisket in Fort Collins - with Pics!

    For some reason I cannot get the temp of the pit above 200 right now. I have put wood in, vented it, closed the vents, added charcoal, etc. It just stays right around 175, 200. The meat has now dropped to 156. I am seriously thinking of pulling, foiling and putting it in the oven. It has...

    So the Smoker temp has dropped to 175 and the brisket has dropped from 167 (almost foiling) to 163. Is this the "plateau" that I have heard about? John

    Posting Pictures - HELP!!!

    So I am trying to post some pics and cannot seem to get them down to the 19.5kb size requirement. I have decreased them in size and have gotten them down to ~25kb, but then they are 256 color bitmaps that are about 100x80 pixels. What am I doing wrong??? John

    Brisket Timing Question

    OK, today is the day. I got up at 5am and pulled the brisket from the refrigerator. At 6am I started the coals and by 6:30 the brisket was on the smoker cruising at 225. I am ready to post pictures, but they are too big to attach. How do you decrease the size? Also, Smoke has been pouring...

    Brisket Timing Question

    Hi, I am planning a brisket for Presidents Weekend (my brother is coming to town) and wanted to ask a timing question. So in the past, I have used a different smoking method that works out pretty well, but I want to try Dutch's (I think it is his) method. I want to use the smoker to get the...

    I FOUND TRI-TIP!!!

    Big Al, Smoking in FC here. 18# sounds like 6 - 9 of these bad boys! You should get a good price on that. I buy a 2 pack at Sam's Club (choice) for $4.98 per lb. A few years ago (before they got popular) you could get them for about $2.50 per lb. Enjoy, I think they are the most flavorful...

    Quick Smoked Tri Tip

    Big Al, note that I have a gas BBQ and this technique does not work on it (even with the wood chips) because there is no flow of the smoke. I put the fire in the main chamber and put tri tip between the chamber and the smoke stack. That way the smoke has to "flow" over the meat. Good luck...

    Definition of Smoking?

    OK, so what is considered smoking??? I know if I smoke a brisket for hours, it is considered smoking. So If I offset cook a steak with lots of wood chips for say 1/2 hour, is that smoking or just BBQing with flair!?!? Just curious! JC
