I want to smoke it tomorrow night, have done midday sat. So I could thro it in the oven to heat on sunday morning? I was going to heat in the oven at about 250 for 3 hours wrapped in foil.
I'm guessing here as I usually eat on the day of.
I'm cooking a 10# brisket and 4# pork loin for mothers day.
I want to smoke the brisket the day before, should I slice it the day before and reheat the sliced/pulled meat? Or should I reheat then slice "on mothers day".
thanks in advance to the BBQ board on the net!
update,
After eating, it was awesome. My best so far, and blew awaymy others. one little issue with the propane conversion (afetrburner). Is the ability to keep a good smoke for over 45 minutes. Other than that its great. I'm going to try the coffee can to get a little extended smoke time.
Good so far, It took me a while to get a handle on the temps, it can be very touchy. I brought it up to temp 4 or 5 times last week, before I put meat on it. other than that it works well. Waitin to taste the finished product
threw this 9# butt on at 10 last night. woke up at 4 refilled water and smoke box. Threw on 2 fatties this morning at 7. Temp is at 195 as I type waiting for 205 or so. Gonna be a good dinner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Smokin a butt and some fatties this weekend, I hope I have the handle on this thing before saturday night... I feel pretty confident. I have brought it up to temp and held it at 230 or so 3 times.
THeres a pic of the rig. I had it too 300 + degrees after about 25 minutes, Backed it down to 235 or so after that. At 300 the water was at a good boil, at 235 I would call it a hard simmer.
Thanks for the help! The electric would barely get to 220 on a good day. And I went through two heating elements in 6 months. I was putting chunks of wood on the reflector plate to produce smoke. It worked okay, but not the greatest.
I'll post pics as soon as I can. The flame is blue and yellow. I have the smoker sitting directly on the burner no legs. I was thinking the water pan might be to close to the burner as well. My water pan sit level with the bottom part of the smoker, not much clearence from the burner
no it hasnt been windy. I called the manufacturer and he said if the lid is too tight it will suffocate the burner causing it to go out. Makes, sense I ran it for 30 minutes with out the smoke on it, and it was fine. Well, today at lunch I drilled 3 3/4 inch holes on the top of the lid...
I have the Charbroil electric. Vertical water smoker. I posted a pic below. Also the adjustment for the heat seems very touchy, maybe I have it up too high thats why it keeps going out on me. Was running it about one full turn on the valve or so.
Thanks for your help.
Hey man-
If I remember uou have the afterburner propane conversion?
We'll I did a test run over the weekend hoping to do a chicken. No luck, the propane would get knocked out after lighting in 5 to 10 minutes. I called the manufacturer and he said, I need to allow more air out the top...
Well, talk about service. I ordered the conversion Tues afternoon. Received it Yesterday!! Of course I live in atlanta so shipping time was minimal from Alabama.
