    Brisket...trying new things

    Yea I typically don't wrap and keep it fairly simple but I've had a few ideas to try for a while. I inject sometimes but have never tried beef flavorings like this before. Guess sometime tomorrow I'll get to find out if it's worth all the trouble or not...been throwing around the idea of...

    Which of these smokers to buy?

    Don't know what model komado you have but I love those things...I don't have yet but my uncle just bought an egg and it's awesome. I'm saving for a Lang right now but after that I'm going to get a komado

    Brisket...trying new things

    I was at store earlier picking up pork butts for smoking tonight and decided to look for a brisket too. I usually get prime packers but sams didn't have a single brisket in the store. Went to krogers and none on shelf but I got their very last one from the back. Choice grade flat...so I decided...

    Myron or Aaron

    I do mine a couple different ways...I do major trimming though on all of them. I do it differently if I am going to wrap or not. If wrapping, I normally cut the fat cap completely off and place some of the fat in a pan above the brisket with holes in the bottom and let it baste until I wrap then...

    Which of these smokers to buy?

    I agree with getting something that may hold up a little better and I understand being on a budget too. IMO they are capable of turning out some good bbq but there will be a good effort involved overcoming some quirks with each one such as air leaks/temp swings, etc. May not last terribly long...

    Which of these smokers to buy?

    Seasoning Gateway Drum smoker

    +1 on hot and fast Gr8day. I do most of my cooks on WSM but I rarely go low and slow. I get better airflow and cleaner smoke with the higher temps. I never use water pan, mine is filled with sand and wrapped in foil. I do most cooking at 300-325...food gets done faster and I can't taste the...

    Seasoning Gateway Drum smoker

    I have usually gone by feel or toothpick test until lately. It is difficult to get an accurate reading because of all the bones you have to have a thin probe to miss the bone. I have noticed lately thermoworks has a needle probe made just for ribs I've been meaning to pick up but haven't got one...

    Seasoning Gateway Drum smoker

    I used to use the chunks on my wsm with a layer of charcoal on grate, then placed 4-5 chunks around on the charcoal, then filled the rest of the way up and lit using minion method and added another 2-3 chunks on top. I found that if I wanted to keep smoke the entire cook I still had to...
