    Bought My First Brisket for Saturday

    By my calculations that is going to take about 16 hours. Does that sound right? I have done 3 briskets so far but they were 7-8 pounders. They took about 10 hours give or take to get to 175. Want to pull the next one I do. Good luck.

    Got my GOSM - time to smoke!

    Mcmuffin, One thing to be careful of is to not strip the nut or bolt that holds the legs on. I had my cousin helping me and he tightened one of the bolts before starting the other 3 and stripped the next one to go in. Like said before don't forget to season before smoking. I used a mixture of...

    Thermometer access

    Wondering where I should run the lines for my taylor thermometers. I was thinking of drilling a hole in the side but wanted some advice before I cut into the unit. If this is the best way, where should it go? Twords the top, halfway, or lower? Thanks. I have the widebody GOSM.

    Any other riders on here?

    I started riding in 2002 with a Shadow. Sold it when I bought my house then picked up a VTX 1800 last May. I have 8000 miles on it.

    Supreme court Ruled

    Thanks Placebo for including that link. Love to see it out there. I tell every vet I meet that I love my freedom. They fought for us to have it and I continue to fight for it till it is time for the next generation to take over. Glad to know the G men aren't coming for my guns anytime soon.

    Thanks for the feedback. Butcher said the Turkey comes flash frozen. I just didn't want to pick up stuff too early.

    How to season

    Just wondering what the process is. My smoker has been delayed and I want to hit the ground running when it gets here. I have seasononed cast iron in the past. I rubbed down with bacon fat stored from previous breakfasts then baked for some time in the oven. Is it pretty much the same just...

    First Post

    I have always enjoyed cooking. Mostly because I enjoy eating good food. I attempted my first smoke last year. It was on my propane grill using cast iron smoke boxes. I smoked 3 3+lb chickens. Cajun rub on one and the other 2 injected. I couldn't get the grill lower then 320. I realize...
