    Second go at brisket, questions about doing 2 at a time.

    I got two 5 lb briskets from my dad who raises his own beef, so I'm going to do one for him and one for myself. My question is, since I think they will be too large to fit on the same rack, is there any issue with having one over the other and the juices dripping on the lower one? Possible dumb...

    First time smoking a chicken

    Thanks. Bird's in the smoke since about 3:00. Pulled it out of the brine at 11 and set it in the fridge. Tied the legs together and rubbed a little chicago steak seasoning on it.Using mesquite cause I have it. Probably not the best wood for it or the right seasoning but how wrong can they be?

    First time smoking a chicken

    Cool. Thank you. Should I go up a little past 165 to be safe or will that dry it out? Do you let birds rest like beef?

    Boneless cross rib roast

    I think it's very comparable to tri tip. Maybe better. Is brisket better than these cuts? If so, that would be amazing. I'm trying to figure out if they are even worth trying again. They take forever. These are so good and smoke up in no time. Why is everyone obsessed with brisket? I'm new to...

    Boneless cross rib roast

    Fred Meyer has these on sale for $3.99 a pound. Bought a 5 pounder and cut it in half. Gave it the SPOG and worcestershire sauce and marinated in a ziplock for a few hours. Found a lot of opinions on what temp to take it to, from 130IT to 205IT, the latter I believe is for pulled beef. So I...

    First time doing a brisket

    My wife did make a positive out of the left overs. She cut them into small 3/8" or so cubes, sauteed garlic and onions with olive oil,, added the chunks to the pan and cooked the mix nice and hot, then squeezed a lime on it. Put that in corn tortillas with cheese and it was insanely good...

    First time doing a brisket

    Took it out of the smoker at IT of 176. I know that's way too early but it was 6:30, wife and kids were hungry, and no back up plan for dinner. I had no idea it would take as long as it did to get to where it did. Threw it on the BBQ on high for 10 minutes in foil, then wrapped it in a towel ...
