    what cut of beef?

    Thanks coacher...  I will try and find a couple...  I like it a little on the rare side...  I assume after pulling it from that temp, its good to wrap in towels and let rest in a cooler for a while?  no extended foil timeo nthe smoker like i do with a brisket? thanks!

    what cut of beef?

    thanks for the reply alelover, I wouldnt mind trying a tri-tip, shoulder roast, or a round or something like that... when I do a brisket, I smoke to 165, foil it up and take it 208*.... what should I do differently with one of those other cuts to avoid it drying out? Thanks!

    Boston Butt: in a pan or on the grate?

    Sounds like everyone does them right on the grate. I know a lot of folks do briskets in the pan, I was just wondering about a butt... I assume a brisket has more of a tendency to want to dry out more than a pork butt I guess? thanks for the feedback fellas!

    Boston Butt: in a pan or on the grate?

    What do you guys usually do? I typically do my butts right on the grate until they hit 165* then double foil it and pout it in a pan until it hits 200* Briskets I usually do it the whole time in a pan.... What are some thoughts around this for a Boston butt?
