    Brisket - What To Do When It Seems Done

    Throw it in a cooler. I've held them for upwards of 5 or 6 hours before it got down to the 140's. Don't waste the fuel to leave it on the smoker for another 4 hours.

    Ready to haul my smoker to the local dump! Briskets are b.s.!

    To me... if all 4 were terrible to you, I would look at what all 4 sessions had in common. Finish temp. I've never had good luck below 200 IT. The last three I have done were 208, 207, and 203 when I pulled them off. All were buttery smooth and juicy after a couple hour rest. Even a few degrees...

    (newbie) Vertical smoker (WSM) VS offset smoker

    I use lump in my 18" wsm. Just fill the ring up and it will be plenty for 8+ hours. Shut her down and re-use the charcoal next time. Also, I've done plenty of baby backs, and spares and never have had to trim or cut in half. Just use a rib rack and fold in half, or kabaab skewers work just as...

    Advise needed on grill...

    I'm hoping you all have some suggestions for me. I'm in the market for a new grill... my Weber kettle 22 has been beat up, tipped over by dog leashes and wind for the last 12 years and the lid doesn't quite sit like it should anymore without forcing it down. I would just buy another one, but...

    Hello

    New guy here. First I just want to say thanks for the knowledge I have gained lurking on here for the last year or so. I have a few questions now, and feel I might be able to help some other people in the process, so I joined up. Anyway, I've got a Weber 22 kettle and an 18 wsm equipped with the...
