i might try this next time around. sam's club around here always has prime brisket for not too much more than choice, so i get that. what do you inject with? anything exciting? i bought an injector and used it on some pastrami to speed up the curing process, and it seemed to work as expected.
ok, so, i decided i'm going to try it. see how it turns out. like, worst case scenario i'll have 25 lbs of meat for chili and nachos, right? i was much more aggressive removing the deckle fat than in the past... that just seems to get trimmed by guests anyway - plus i plan to smoke that then...
no plans for injecting. haven't yet - and they've all turned out great. well... except for that one that was overcooked and falling apart. still tasty though!
calling all brisket gurus --
so, i'm doing 2 briskets this weekend - they're thawing in the fridge as i type this. thinking about dry brining them before the cook. have questions, though... like... do i dry brine with just salt then add my rub spices (maybe with a binder) just before putting...
seeing this one early, which makes me happy. don't have to scramble. looking forward to seeing what folks come up with! smoking burgers is tricky - mine usually end up super dry.
yianni, welcome from the central US! it doesn't really matter WHAT you cook on around here, from what i've seen in this forum... as long as you're cooking outside and it's ... fan-TASTE-ic!
welcome from 'near' stl mo! i totally looked at a workhorse before i bought this old country... but the wait time was more than i was willing to endure. kudos to you! remember! pictures or it didn't happen!
Welcome Phil! here's a tip i gleaned from all of the youtube videos i've watch over the past ... 6 months or so. place the fat cap toward your heat source... on an offset -- that's fat cap up since the heat travels across the top of the cook chamber. on a pellet grill, i think that hot spot...
well, second cook since i put the felt gasket on, and it seems to be holding temps better and i'm better able to control it. i like to think the gasket on the main chamber is mostly responsible, and not that i'm just learning the new cooker. have not tried the gasket maker yet, but i do have a...
i recommend pepperoncinis - one in ten might have a light heat. my cukes did great last year until i had to go out of town for a week and they all went to seed.
i've never had much luck with tomatoes. not sure why.
so... i also tried to bend the firebox into shape with a 2x4 spacer and a ratchet strap. no luck. no movement at all on the curve of the lid. ordered some red rtv gasket maker. will post pics of how it turns out.
soooooooooo ... what's everyone planting this year? i'm doing cucumbers - for pickling, along with jalafuegos for stuffed peppers, some radishes for general munching, cayennes for fermented buffalo sauces, and maybe a couple bell peppers to accommodate some recipes i've picked up over the last...
i did reapers one year. not really a fan. not so much because they're super hot - which they totally are, but they just smell like bad decisions. the same year, i did trinidad scorpions, and those smell just like roasted red peppers after dried and crushed - i use those all the time in sauces...
