    Brisket

    On Big Green Eggs, which have fairly small cooking areas, we always place a tin can (such as a coffee can) on it's side and in the middle of the grate. The brisket is placed over this "hump" and is shortened quite a bit.

    Charcoal Basket Question

    If you had dry and tough meat after having had trouble getting to, and then holding, the desired temperature of 275°F, you most probably just undercooked the meat. This condition manifests itself as "tough and dry."

    Horizon Smokers Customer Service...

    I have a Horizon RD Special and feel it to be an absolutely terrific smoker, and very well built. Trying to get those folks on the phone can be....."challenging," at times.

    New Cabelas Magnum Pellet Grill....and Not Real Happy

    ^^^^The Yoder has a "burn pot," where the pellets go to die (catch fire); a "deflector plate", which is solid, and fits above the burn pot; and "cooking grates," on which one places items to be cooked. To what do you reference?

    Reading material

    At least you will get useful information from the Eastern Section guidebook; I have one, but moving westward, most of the eastern trees start dropping off somewhere in Arkansas......the Western Section trees don't start for a ways...I guess this is why they call Oklahoma the grasslands...

    Looked at the Green Mountain Grills today.

    So, I guess it really didn't fall between the grates? Good to hear: I solved the very same problem by using the extra-extra-course grind. Still haven't solved the seasoning swan-dive problem, though.....

    Looked at the Green Mountain Grills today.

    It seems just about everything does that. The way my first brisket soared in temperature during the first hour of cooking, I was led to firmly believe it would be done in about an hour and ten minutes: took about thirteen hours.

    Looked at the Green Mountain Grills today.

    One can also check for doneness by sampling the temperature of the thigh, but it should be 5°-7°F higher than what would be indicated for the breast. I predict you're going to nail this cook!

    CAST IRON COOKING ON MY LANG FIREBOX

    We use cast iron on top of the firebox frequently on our Horizon offset. We also use a Lodge cast iron trivet underneath the skillet/Dutch oven for those times the heat needs to be slowed down a bit.

    Whirlwind Adventure and smoke!

    You guys had what looks to be a fantastic time. As for the flat tire and the beehive cave: these incidents are what is known as "having adventures!"

    Alaska Fishing

    That looks very tasty.  My wife spent part of this summer in Alaska, and part of that time fishing with her sister. She sent a whole lot of fish back down here and we just grilled up some rockfish filets on the BGE (with alder wood) this evening for dinner. Oh yeah..............

    Yoder 480 vs. Yoder 640

     I'm sure you will enjoy the 640. As an owner of several BGEs, I'm a bit surprised by the comment concerning temp control. It reallly is quite easy and takes about two times of setting the lower vent to any width, observing what happens, and then everyone is an expert. My wife didn't even do the...

    Yoder 480 vs. Yoder 640

      You can cook any of that stuff on a 480. The remaining question is "how much?" The 640 gives more space between items, when loaded up with no more than can fit on a 480, which can be handy. More room for a water pan, too.   Also, the 640 has an adjustable damper, which the 480 lacks, that can...

    Texas Original Pits or Horizon?

       I purchased a 20' RD Special: a stretched Marshal with all the available bells and whistles. It has proven to be a very sound investment and a well-built smoker. We even grill a few steaks on the supplied firebox grill grate. The unit balances quite well, although moving anything this heavy...
