    First brisket, i got a few questions...

    I'll attempt to answer these questions, but just remember there are different opinions on some of these. 235-240 is a fine temp to maintain.  General advice is 225-250 so you are right in the middle. As far as time per pound, for me it is closer to an hour a pound.  Higher you are on the temp...

    Brisket, ribs, and family time

    Wow Cranky that is a big smoke!  I usually cook one thing at a time, a lot more challenging having to keep up with multiple items of different type.  Looks like it came out great, I'm sure your dad loved it.

    Smoking my first Brisket.

    Well its a little late but how did it turn out?  Don't have any experience with an electric smoker but bbq seems to take a lot of experimentation to see what works for you.  The chips should have more surface area than chunks, that could make a difference.  Not sure why it took 3 hours for the...

    For $89 I would be tempted to kill a cow and cut them out myself.

    For those interested in barbecue in Fort Worth, Mick is pointing you in the right direction.  I've lived in Fort Worth most of my life and my family has for over a century so I can tell you about their barbecue.  Angelos is the most famous barbecue place in town but they have changed hands...

    Trying brisket on my mini, trouble getting the heat up

    Well cooking brisket did seem to work on the mini.  Temp finally made it up to 250 degrees before it was all done.  Pulled the point on the lower rack at 6 hours and the flat off the top rack at 7.  It was a little difficult checking temp or pulling out to wrap the lower brisket as had to take...

    Trying brisket on my mini, trouble getting the heat up

    Md you made me laugh!     That is a lot of meat for a small smoker to heat up.  You're right, the temp has slowly crept up to 230 degrees which is fine.  I searched online and someone said to sit the lid a little to the side to allow more airflow, which I tried, but it doesn't really seem to...

    Trying brisket on my mini, trouble getting the heat up

    Anyone have success doing brisket on their mini?  I smoked one on my large smoker last week, but it takes near constant attention and wanted to have a more relaxing afternoon.  Brisket is 10 lbs, cut it in half and put a piece on each grate, temp staying steady at 200 degrees, can't get it any...

    JULY 5th BRISKET (Better Late Than Never)

    See if you can find some inexpensive ones to practice on (I know, not easy to do now days).  For me I had quite a few casualties before I cooked one I was able to serve to my family without apologizing for.  And several more before I was willing for anyone else to try it.  Now I'm thinking about...

    My turn to do a brisket

    I know you are not kidding, I've seen some of those high prices too.  Small flats are about $5.50 a pound, and some of the nicer grades are 7 to 9 dollars a pound.  People started barbecuing briskets because they were a cheap, tough cut of meat not many people wanted.  If I lived where you do...

    My turn to do a brisket

    Seems like everyone cooked a brisket for the 4th of July weekend, all I could do was lust after their pictures.  Today was my day to  get out in the smoke.   It was a 13 lbs, price not bad $2.47 a lb.  My sweet wife was kind enough to take these pictures, we'll see if I post them right. Here...
