    First Brisket attempt

    I'm cooking it between 250-275.  But the wind is wreaking havoc on my plans to do that, so it's been jumping between 230-300. It's currently at 181

    This is 4 hours in.  It seems to be cooking faster than I thought. Currently at 170, might have to rest it longer than expected to eat at 7PM

    First Brisket attempt

    Trying out my first brisket today.  It's a pretty small one 3.4KG (7.5#) picked it up at a local butcher.  Cost more than it should have $25/KG (11.33/#) but it should be good meat as it's fresh from a local farm. Rubbed it with CBP and Salt, used a bbq sauce as a bind then injected with beef...

    Liquids in a spray bottle

    Very true, I'll try doing that.  The spray doesn't work as well when the liquid gets close to the bottom because of the tube length, but that's what I get for buying a $2 bottle.  I'll get a better one and just wash it out between cooks.  Thanks for the advice.

    Liquids in a spray bottle

    Ok thanks for the reply!  The plastic is food safe it looks like HDPE #2 but the bottle has been in the cupboard, so I'll dump it and keep it in the fridge next time.

    Liquids in a spray bottle

    Hi, Was wondering if anyone had any insight into if it's safe to keep liquids (I currently have apple cider vinegar) in a spray bottle between cooks, and if so how long can they stay in there?  Are there sprays that stay better longer?  Do I need to worry about the plastic "melting" away from...

    I had heard of the issue with chicken skin before, and always hear about "bite through skin" but I've never experienced it before.  Thanks for the great information.  I'll definitely be trying a couple different ways in the next few months to see what works best for me.

    Very first smoke ever with Chicken Drumsticks Qview

    Thanks! Ya, I'll be using chunks from now on.  Wanted to see how the chips would do.  I also have some splits so I'll put those in or cut them smaller. This is the final result.  Was okay for the first time, but I found the skin really hard to chew.
