    Some advice for a relatively new brisket smoker...

    If you have the space, go ahead and cook the whole packer at once and separate later. No need to waste the heat, smoke, and time while you got it! Best way to reheat, in my opinion, is to vacuum seal for storage, then place the sealed bag in some boiling water for 15-30 minutes when you're...

    Happy to be involved and really excited to see what everyone comes up with!

    Ref; New SMF throwdown?

    I'd be in to enter or judge or help wherever. I have a little side gig in the BBQ rub industry. It isn't a big operation, but I love being involved in the BBQ community. I don't know what the prize packages usually are for these things, but I might be able to put a little something together...

    At the Crossroads of Smoking and Whiskey - Bourbonites Unite!

    Sitting here thinking about tomorrow's cook and had to come in to post. Temp dropped to the low 30's here and it has been wet. It will make for less than ideal conditions for smoking a brisket tomorrow, but it is the perfect excuse to sit by the fire and try a cold weather whiskey recipe I saw...

    That all looks and sounds great Noboundaries! I'm almost regretting starting this thread as my liquor shopping list is growing out of control!   +1 on posting the recipe for the drink.

    Georgetown, Texas. The liquor store is called Twin Liquors.

    Visiting my folks and their local liquor store had Devil's Cut on sale, 2 handles for $40 (1 was $32 alone). Here is the result: I should be good for a little while :)

    Help! I need to understand the mechanics for a tender and moist meat in a UDS.

    Personally, I don't think there is much moisture to be gained from the water pan.  It is a source of some debate, but from my reading, I came to the initial conclusion that it wouldn't help.  I then have tried smoking pork butts both with and without a water pan, keeping all else as constant as...

    No pictures due to all the commotion (and drinks) last night, but the pork butt injected with a blend of apple cider and Bird Dog Blackberry whiskey was simply fantastic.  There was a slight sweet berry aroma to the pulled pork and a slight after taste, but the sweetness didn't dominate ate all...

    Thanks!  I have been brining mine since late last night and will have to put your recipe on the books for next time.  Sounds good, though.  The pork looks crazy good, too. I will be cooking at your temp, however.  I'm glad to hear 250* is a good temp as that is what my Bandera loves to settle...

    Tequila!?!?!  Get that clear devil's poison outta here!  ;) I've had the fireball stuff.  Not the same as drinking whiskey in a traditional sense, but good in its own right.  If you like the flavored stuff, give Bird Dog Blackberry a try.  I've mentioned it in here a couple of times, but it is...

    Any other details on the cook?  Brined?  Temp? Time? Looking forward to giving it a whirl on Saturday!

    How did the chicken turn out?  I'm doing a whole chicken this weekend and this sounds pretty interesting.  I need to go grab another bottle of Larceny, but I can pick up some honey bourbon while I'm there.

    Best Beginner Charcoal Smoker

    Where are you located?  Craigslist is a great place to find some good deals on smokers.  Provide your location and I'm sure some folks wouldn't mind checking your local Craigslist for something worth considering in your budget. Otherwise, build an UDS.  It will take some time to do it the first...

    Just looked that story up and read about it.  Pretty crazy.  It said that only 50 employees have access to the area that the bottles were taken, so there aren't a whole lot of possibilities as to who it could have been. I need to get on the waiting list somewhere for a bottle of that stuff.  I...

    I also have to say, one of the great things about this discussion is that it really has been free of whiskey snobs.  I've participated in similar discussions before and they always end up reduced to who has tried the rarest/most expensive bottle of whiskey once before in their life and why it...

    Thanks for the post, Humdinger.  There is some unique whiskey in there that I hadn't seen before (Silver Select and Winter Jack).  I've tried Crown XR before and it is quite good.  I'm not a huge fan of blended Canadian whiskies, but there are exceptions to every rule ;). I'll give that Winter...

    Thanks for the info.  In to the smoker a dozen habaneros will go next time I have it fired up! What do you use for grinding?  Think a pestle and mortar would do the trick?

    At the Crossroads of Smoking and Whiskey - Bourbonites Unite!

    I made the best pulled pork of my short smoking career this weekend.  Steady flow of Buffalo Trace was crucial to my performance ;).  No whiskey in the cooking, though.  I used some agave nectar in the juice that I put in the foil when I wrapped.  Might try it with a little bourbon, though.  It...
