Brisket & Burnt Ends
Good lookin brisky, If I could offer a suggestion. If your gonna trim alot of fat off, you might want to inject the flat a bunch. I try to trim my packers, but mainly the hard white fat towards the deckle end, not to much on the flat end unless its a comp and I need a specific width to fit in... -

Oak for Brisket?
Oak is great for brisket! I use oak for all smokes as a base wood. It makes great coals( I use a stickburner). Add to it your flavor wood of choice, and your all set. I cook packers at 245-260 all the time, and it works just fine, these packers take 8-10 hrs. after a couple hrs rest, they... -

Vac u Pack
well like I said a couple weeks ago the foodsaver was on its last leg. Upon further research and some good info from Erain, I decided to buy the VacUpack. It is a bit larger than the foodsaver, but I love it. It does a great job, has a much better vacuum pump , and the heat seal is about twice...- capt dan

Brisket dilemma
200 is too low of a temp in my opinion. I smoke mine at 245-260. Never tried one at 200, never seen a good reason too. -
Vac u Pack
My foodsaver is finally on its last leg, so I am looking in to a replacement. I need one that will last at least 5-10 yrs, or at least be worth fixing. Alot of the Chineese junk aint worth fixing, and most of it can't be fixed very reasonably. Lookin real hard at these VacUpack units.- capt dan

Rust On Outside my Lang Help!!!!!
That is exactly right, I redo mine about 1-2 times a month, but I smoke food 2-3 times a week usually. Nonstick spray works well too. NOTHING that you use will work permanently. I think I repainted mine 3-4 times before I just gave up on it and went to the veggie oil. After a while, It takes on...- capt dan

Long time no post...........Ribs!
It just takes practice. You'll get there. I was searching for answers and help a few years ago too, and found it here and other nice sites. After you smoke a couple hundred racks, you will get a feel for how they are doing, and have a confidence that always helps too. Lotsa ways to smoke good... -
