    First full Packer Cut. Any tips, advice or input would be great.

    Awwright, Pocket....advice you want, here ya go: Don't be afraid nor overwhelmed. A brisket is merely a piece of steer and if you have smoked other meats, you then have experience, right? Forget the "oooh, a brisket" fear-making crapola you get from so many places and just plan your smoke...

    HELP!!! In a fix!!!!

    Put them on a roasting pan or baking sheet with a rim, then into a 350F oven for about an hour until they are crispy and smelling delicious. The bacon should be brown and done to perfection. Depending on your oven and quantity in there about an hour is what it will take, maybe less. Cover them...

    How to reseason cast iron??

    This is about the best and truest advice you are going to get anywhere. Dutch knows his stuff! My two cent is after this, make a few pots of braised beef roasts and chicken over the next month or two. Don't skimp on the butter, flour or potatoes. Definitely stay away from any tomatoes or acid...

    Cherry wood, I am beginning to think never again...

    Reference cherry wood, have got to agree with JL Rod here; use less of it and it is a great smoking wood. I've found it to be the best for turkey....something about the turkey meat (as opposed to chicken) just takes to cherry wood and is outstanding. My wife loves it and makes (hah!) me smoke a...

    Magic dust rub by Mike Mills?

    Cabin, good questions, though sorry to learn you didn't much like it. I've got the recipe from Peace, Love and Barbecue right here, the book in front of me, and maybe I can encourage you to give it another whirl. It's a very good and decent all-around rub. Try using demerara sugar, which is the...

    Is $ 2.49 a lb for a side of beef cut and wrap fair?

    Good grief, buddy...you are getting good deals down there in Louisiana! I haven't seen grocery prices like that in near two years or more. I snatched up a pair of birds on a point-sale at .79 cents a pound and they were scrawny Tyson fryers too small to send to KFC. They normally run $1.29, but...

    smoke n pit problem!

    You've got a nice unit there. I have one that I've modified a bit for better performance. If you'd like some tips and pics, PM me. Don't worry about the Brinkmann paint. It will burn and rust off. Every spring I steel wool my firebox (exterior only)  to get the rust off and repaint with...

    I think I am done with foiling my pork butts. So sick of the mush.

    Welcome friends, welcome. Come on in, the water is fine! Glad to learn there is a growing flock of advanced barbecuers out there. Now you all understand.  "Tinfoil? We don' need no steenkin' tinfoil!"

    Need a good sauce for burnt ends

    SC, I would agree with alblancher. Nothing beats burnt ends smothered in a nice thick favourite sauce. With that said, I'll add that a smoked brisket point nekkid is better for burnt ends than one that was heavily rubbed. Just an opinion, and I lean towards just cbp and some salt on my brisket...

    Is $ 2.49 a lb for a side of beef cut and wrap fair?

    Your price sounds great and I'd take it. We buy a local, grass fed, half-steer each fall. We pay by hanging weight, but the last two years in a row the packaged meat weight has cost us $2.25 a pound. We get it from my barber who also raises cattle, so I don't think there is a better deal...

    Missouri gathering?

    All for an MO gathering, sounds like it might grow into something serious. Rolla area seems to be fairly central. I know it's too late for 2011 but next summer is around the corner and will give us much time to plan and get things situated. Anyone willing to commit? I am. I'll be glad to help...
