    First brisket with OFB

    It's a beautiful morning to start a brisket, about 45° out here in Baltimore Using Black Diamond Charwood I found at Ace Hardware for the first time. Woke up at 5, seasoned a 5.8 lb flat, got the fire going (took 2.5 chimneys to get up to 225), in the Char-Griller at 6. Threw a few handful of...

    Simple DIY charcoal basket

    Rigged up this simple charcoal basket for my Char-Griller SFB. Got a wire basket off Amazon and ran two pieces of cut to length 1/2" tube steel through that rest on the grate supports.

    Apple cider

    Has anyone used apple cider (not apple cider vinegar) for spraying on meat during the early part of a smoke to maintain moisture? I'm thinking it might impart a nice taste without the vinegar flavor, which my wife doesn't like.

    Zinc plated steel?

    Yeah I think it's a form of galvanizing, which I've read should be kept away from food. Aluminum should be fine though, right? Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

    Zinc plated steel?

    Is zinc plated steel safe to use in the cook chamber as a smoke diverter? I don't have the capability to bend the thicker steel that isn't zinc coated. Aluminum would be fine too, right? Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

    Wahoo!?

    Anyone ever smoke Wahoo? My brother in law caught a few off North Carolina and will be giving us some when we go down to see him in a few weeks. When we've grilled it previously I thought it was pretty firm and dry. Could use some suggestions on the best way to prepare it, maybe smoking is an...

    Campfire chicken

    Decided to cook some boneless chicken thighs over an open fire on my backyard fire pit. I even used the upper rack from my Char-Griller as the cooking grate. My wife was skeptical, but they turned out great- tender, juicy, and a nice smoke flavor. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

    First Full Brisket

    What did you learn/change over the course of those 4 flats that resulted in perfect tenderness?  I just did my first and it was ok but would like to increase tenderness and moisture.   Surprised that a 4 pounder took 13 hours.  I did one just under 5 pounds in 6 hours (4 unwrapped, 2 wrapped in...

    Hello

    Hi everyone, I've been smoking off and on for 10+ years, but just recently found this forum and decided to join.  I rescued my smoker from an alley behind my friends house in Baltimore and it has served me pretty well.  I'm pretty sure it's a Char-Griller Super Pro 2121.  I've used it without a...

    TEXAS STYLE BRISKET

    I just did a brisket with some butcher paper that I got at the meat counter for free, it had wax on one side, but it turned out pretty well, didn't notice any adverse effects of the wax.  What is the impact of wax vs. no-wax? Thanks

    Brisket- need more moisture

    Hey everyone, first time posting here.  I've got a Char-Griller I found in an alley 10+ years ago, no offset fire-box (that's my next purchase) and I've used it a few times a year with good success, mostly for ribs.  On Sunday I smoked a brisket for the 2nd time, last time was 10 years ago.  I...
