    Newbie using my smoker for the first time- Brisket!

    Excellent job.....I've found that if I want the whole thing to be moist, I need to wrap the brisket after some point in the smoke. That said, I don't always wrap them, and they always get eaten!! Great job!

    Can I improve my mailbox mod?

    Thanks, I will post more results once I get a chance to shorten things up. For now, I'm going to stick with the flex pipe since it is what I have, but will figure out a length and setup that will allow me to have the flex pipe continually rise.......maybe put the smoker a little higher on some...

    Can I improve my mailbox mod?

    Thanks everyone for the input.....I will at a minimum shorten the pipe up and use something to give it a steady rise to the smoker. Another question.....I mainly did this for cold smoking and getting a better smoke flavor. What I had read was that running the smoke through that tube will clean...

    Newbie using my smoker for the first time- Brisket!

    It looks great....but I noticed you didn't report back yet......hoping it is because you ate too much and you are now in a food coma!!!:drool

    Newbie using my smoker for the first time- Brisket!

    My prediction is you must be close....unless you hit a 2nd stall. Had that happen before.

    Can I improve my mailbox mod?

    Thanks hillbilly, I will cover up the top holes and put in some holes on the bottom. Clever thinking on the fridge magnet!

    Can I improve my mailbox mod?

    I just started the vault on high for maybe 5 minutes to warm up the smoker. Assuming if I'm at 90 degrees steady on a cold day, the draft would keep the smoke flowing that direction.....

    Can I improve my mailbox mod?

    Thank you DS. Maybe what I should do is tape up the holes on the top of the box to keep the smoke from pouring out of them, as well as around the flange. I've got some very good sticky metal tape around and it wouldn't take much. I'm just not sure how much smoke I should try to make sure gets to...

    Can I improve my mailbox mod?

    I decided to do a mailbox mod for my A-Maze-N Tube I bought for cold smoking. I purchased the mailbox at Walmart and the flex pipe and fitting at HD. Drilled out the holes and hooked it all up. Decided to go for a test run right away to see what happens. Loaded up the tubes lit it, and thought...

    Newbie using my smoker for the first time- Brisket!

    I start checking mine around 190 or so, and I use the back end of a beater from a mixer.....if it goes in smoothly, it is good to go. Wrap it, into the cooler with towels. Now, if you want to slice the brisket, unwrap and let rest on the counter for 30-60 minutes or use your probe and don't cut...

    Next project.....JERKY!!

    Even if I don't use the slicer ever, it is a memory trigger...my dad was one of my best friends, and making sausage and jerky reminds me of him. Thanks Mark, should be fun. You must farm potatoes based on your location and handle, huh? I've always done ground jerky also, but I'm switching and...

    Next project.....JERKY!!

    Lol, I find it interesting how the name Bladeguy can conjure up everything from a skater, to a knife collector, to now a heavy equipment operator. That's great! Actually, I'm in sales, and one of my jobs used to be selling saw blades for the woodworking industry as well as picking them up for...
