    Rub Question

    I have doubled my recipies before with good results but when tripling you could tell the differance. I think it is because when mixing larger quanities I just didn't get it to mix together as well.

    I will be killing them. I figured I would skin and quarter 2 of them and put them in the freezer for another day. The third one will be going on the smoker whole.

    Poor folk smoker//Brisket dinner

    I think smoked brisket acctually originated from poor folks. It was a cheap cut of meat given to slaves because it was tough and the rich folk couldn't figure out how to cook it. I must say it looks like you have masterd the brisket. Nice smoke ring and it looks tender and juicey. Great job

    Tools of the Smoke

    a set of heavy duty meat forks, (pampered chef), bear paws, heavy gloves, propane torch. I would have to disagree with the camera for myself. I really enjoy being outside watching the fire with a stiff drink and a few friends. To me it is a big part of the smoking experiance. Dennis

    1st brisket is on with a question

    put a steam pan in the bottom of the cooler and lay the brisket in it. you can put towels on top if you want, I just stick it in the cooler. When you take it out in the morning there will be juices in the pan. pour it into a bowl and put in the fridge. I would then slice my brisket but I usually...

    Fattie Question

    time permitting I like to grind and season my own. I know when we get a hog processed we usually just get the sausage with what they call a salt and pepper mix, it doesn't taste anything like sausage, then I spice it myself. You might check your local butcher shop, I bet they have something...
