    Here it goes...with Qview

    So it's been a while since I have been around. I have a few days off work so thought I would try a brisket. I have been doing ribs and pulled pork for a few years with great success but this is only my second brisket. The first one came out well cooked (very tender with a good smoke ring) but...

    What went wrong?

    I got it at Sam's. Do you guys use mustard when you put on the rub? That is the only thing I did different than my pulled pork. That would explain not tasting the rub, but I cant understand not tasting the smoke flavor. I guess maybe it was just a bad meat. Oh well that gives me a reason to try...

    What went wrong?

    I used hickory wood. There was a thin smoke ring in the meat and a decent bark. I used the same home made rub I use for my ribs which gives a good spicey/sweet taste on my ribs and also sprayed with rum and apple juice mix several times. I had thought about an injection/marinade but I dont want...

    What went wrong?

    I have now smoked 2 briskets. The first one I did I did not cook long enough, and although it had good flavor it was tough. Ok this is an easy fix. So this past weekend I did my second brisket. It was almost 8 pounds, cooked for 13 hours at 225-250 on my propane smoker. I used a home made rub...

    GrillPro® Vertical Propane Smoker

    That seems a like a small smoker for that price to me, and the fact that there is not alot of information you can find would also make me think twice before I would buy it. http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?actio...-53719-GS-2001 This is the new model of the smoker I have and I love it. Larger...

    Guess What I'm Doing?

    I can't smell any at all. And when I say light wind I mean the paper tag on the propane regulator isn't even moving. Just once in a while you can feel it but it is very very light.

    Guess What I'm Doing?

    It is a great day here in TN. 2 pork shoulders went on at 8:45 and the tbs is going good. Just waiting on 12:00 so the adult beverages can start flowing. By the way, how do folks post big pics in there post. All I can figure out is how to do attachments?

    A few dumb questions (help please)

    Thanks for the quick reply. I am just a little unsure this time because of the mix in menu. We do a cook out every 3rd thursday but it is usually a samller crowd and only 1 meat so I can guess that ok, but with the bigger crowd and mixed menu I'm just not sure of how much of each. Funny how word...
