    First Brisket Smoke

    brisket just reached 150*, I've been basting it with my squirt sauce once an hour. I'm smoking with hickory and at about 225. If any of you remembered, I was having trouble with temperatures due to the garbage can that i smoke in and the weak heat source. Well, Im using a hot plate with a pan...

    First Brisket Smoke

    So, I bought a small, 2.5 pound boneless brisket this afternoon with intentions to smoke it tomorrow in my garbage can smoker. I just prepped it with some mustard and one of my favorite rubs. I wrapped it in plastic wrap and stuffed it in the fridge. I plan to eat around 6:30 tomorrow night...

    Getting TBS

    When I first start my homemade trash can smoker and get the wood chunks in there, it makes that horrible "billowing white smoke" for about 20 mins before I get some TBS, is there anyway to stop this?

    Notice the lovely snow falling, so you can see my troubles. Since these pictures were taken I have enlarged the vent holes on top and added more, there are 7- 1/2" vents now.

    you're lucky you dont have to deal with these winter months. Although I just started smoking, I've been grilling for years and the winter always makes it tough, especially because me and the guys cant gather around the grill with a cold brew in our hands.

    is it ok to cook at 205?

    pineywoods, how much will the welding blanket help? Is it insulated or just fireproof? Also, wont that prevent proper air flow? I use a big cardboard box as a windbreaker sometimes with a few holes cut in the base of it for airflow, but it only gets me about 15 degrees hotter when its under...

    is it ok to cook at 205?

    its electric, I use a hot plate for heat so it can only get so high. In my garage I got it up to 250 no problem, but I would rather not leave a heat source unattended in my garage for long periods of time.

    Why does it matter how long it takes to escape the danger zone. I thought as long as you cooked it further than 140 you were clear.

    So i've already done this roll call before, but my account got lost. My name is Matt and I'm a beginner from Long Island. I recently made an electric powered garbage can smoker that I'm still getting used to and love to practice with till I buy something big.

    is it ok to cook at 205?

    I've got my smoker at full blast and its about 205 degrees due to the cold weather, besides the fact that it will take longer, is it going to affect quality?
