    Packer brisket- Hot and Fast method..

    Like you I find hot and fast the way to go for briskets, works great on butts too. The shorter time is the deal clincher for me. I note you got a nice smoke ring on yours despite the shorter time in the smoker.

    Why dry rub? Why not just season the pulled pork after it's cooked?

    For a commercial rub, I like Bad Byron's Butt Rub. A little salty for ribs but great on butts.

    advice for pulled pork at tailgate

    I use both the juices and finishing sauce. You don't need a lot of finishing sauce, most are vinegar based, so a little goes a long way. I generally put a pan under the butts with some broth in it. It then catches the drippings from the butts. I then put the butt in the pan and cover it during...

    advice for pulled pork at tailgate

    I've done what I call twice smoked pulled pork. I smoke and pull the day before, then put it in an open pan in the smoker the next day. I usually reheat pulled pork in a roaster/slow cooker with just finishing sauce, but for twice smoked I usually sauce it with BBQ sauce and let it cook down a...

    Brisket WSM

    I place the ends of the brisket against the handles on the upper rack, the brisket will bow up slightly. On a WSM there is a narrow zone of high heat around the edges. To prevent burning I use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield the ends, a loose fit is all that is needed. As the meat cooks...

    Why dry rub? Why not just season the pulled pork after it's cooked?

    A commercial rub I like is Bad Byron's Butt Rub. This forum as well as the Internet  have ton's of recipes if you want to make your own. I usually apply liberaly.

    Why dry rub? Why not just season the pulled pork after it's cooked?

    The salt in the rub pulls moisture out of meat and helps build the bark. If you use sugar it caramelizes. Bark is what differentiates smoked pulled pork from some made in a crock pot with liquid smoke. Having said that there's nothing wrong with experimenting with rub and no rub to see how you...

    how to do Brisket point cut only/burnt ends?

    I always make the point into burnt ends. I usually put a pan under the brisket while it's smoking. I de fat this and use it to wet down the cubed point. Sometimes the au jus is rather strong and I do not hesitate to water it down. Sometimes I add rub sometimes not. Then a light coat of BBQ...

    clay flower pot base in WSM vs water?

    I switch back and forth between water and a flower pot saucer depending on what I'm smoking and the time of the year. In the winter i usually use the flower pot saucer because it makes it easier to get the heat up. The one fault of the WSM is that a cold wind will pull the heat right out of the...

    ABT jalapeno substitute?

    The sweet peppers work really well, especially if you can get good sized ones. I like Pablanos  too.

    bagging butts

    If you are going to make pulled pork I would smoke and pull as usual and reheat the next day. Pulled pork reheats really well. I reheat in an electric roaster. Crock pots or the oven work well too.

    Rainy Sunday smoke w/qview

    Great looking cook texasgal! I like to always put something on that finishes quickly for a little pitmasters snack. Another good one are brats, you can usually find a little room around the main course for these snacks.
