Which brisket to buy?
Don't waste your money on an expensive brisket. Just buy a Costco Prime. I did a side by side comparison Costco choice vs SNF Wagyu. If you want wagyu buy a steak or prime rib. RG https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/wagyu-vs-choice-brisket-side-by-side.327951/- radioguy

Interesting Temperature Observation
Water acts as a barrier 212F. Try filling it with sand. sand will heat up and act as a thermal mass. I have fire brick in the bottom of my RF. I also have few brick in the space above the firebox. Really helps even out the temps. RG- radioguy

Hot and fast for brisket?
Ditto here. I get it screaming hot then put the brisket on fat down for 4 hours. No lookey 🙈. I keep the temps 260-290F. I dont foil but have been wrapping in butcher paper at the end of stall. (stall not long) wrap in foil after flat probes done. Rest, rest, rest RG- radioguy

Got My VEVOR Chamber Vacuum Sealer
Brian good call on the chamber vac. We are packing a lot of items we use. It is a game changer. I am able to pack large items the conventional way by hanging the bag over the front and letting it droop down. Something they didn't advertise, but I caught on a video somewhere. Just have to...- radioguy

Tip for anyone struggling with casings…
I used to use a bit of vinegar and soak casings, but switched to baking soda after reading about PH. Vinegar is acidic and weakens casings, soda is a base. I use this to sanitize. One sink gets a few gallons of lukewarm water for soaking items. Everything is cleaned prior to sausagefest. And...- radioguy
