    Cryovac/coloring question

    Is that before or after you opened it? Your bag looks like there is a lot of air in it, so its not really vacuum sealed.

    Just installed gasket kit to my WSM 18.5

    Used my smoker with the gasket for the first time yesterday. All i gotta say is . Zero smoke leaks. I feel like its more solid and less charcoal is being wasted now.

    Thanks Aggie. I will cut it in half and save the other half for another cook since this will be my first brisket.

    Need a few brisket questions cleared up...

    I got another question regarding brisket... So if I have a brisket flat that doesn't lay flat on the smoker because its longer than 18 inches, will cutting it in half have any negative effects?  Can I cut it in half, and only cook half and freeze the other half? does cooked brisket reheat well?

    Just installed gasket kit to my WSM 18.5

    Just wanted to share pictures of my newly installed gasket on my WSM 18.5 around the door and lid. I used the 1/2" wide 1/8" thick tape. So far the door looks like it seals pretty well and the lid feels great when you put it on and it feels like a cushion. I also left a little opening on the...

    Knife recommendations

    i like dexter russell alot.. they are good solid working knives and if you mess one up, its not a big deal, just get another one to replace it.  i hate having expensive knives and having to watch my friends use it on things they shouldn't be cutting with it
