    Forgive me Father, for I have wrapped! - -Brisket content

    No problem, I ended up pulling mine at 193-195 and I ended up with pulled brisket, it's not suitable for slicing. I was shooting for sliced but didn't think it would become too tender to slice before at least 195-200. I was wrong, but I'm ok with that, the end product still came out amazing and...

    Forgive me Father, for I have wrapped! - -Brisket content

    Thanks. Unfortunately I won't be able to get that here in time to smoke this piece of meat. I'm not doubting you, but I'm curious what the difference in the paper is? I'm ignorant when it comes to butchers paper. Basically since I only have the white paper, I should just not wrap it at all...

    Forgive me Father, for I have wrapped! - -Brisket content

    That looks amazing. I too am going to try wrapping with paper this weekend on my first brisket in about a year. I can't find the brown paper that Franklin's uses but I called the butcher shop I buy most of my meat from and they told me to swing back in and they would give me some, their's is the...

    1st try at a pork butt

    No problem, it looks like a good piece of meat. I actually put one on last night and its being a bit stubborn, looks like I'm on my way out of the stall though. Good luck on your cook, just be patient with it, butts have a mind of their own.

    1st try at a pork butt

    I dont spritz mine, I just collect the juices in a drip pan and add those when letting it rest. Ribs on the other hand I spritz the last hour of the cook. I see you have it sitting on a baking pan on the top rack of the fridge. I would recommend putting it on a bottom rack next time, just for...

    I need help! Beef Tenderloin...

    Sounds good guys. I will likely start it early, due to the weather forecast for tomorrow, wind and rain all day tomorrow. If it gets done early ill wrap it and toss it in a cooler until its time to sear, as I'd rather go that route as opposed to everyone waiting on me lol. I will be sure to post...

    I need help! Beef Tenderloin...

    Thanks. I was curious how much quicker it would cook. I knew it would be quicker, but had no idea it would be that much quicker. If I happen to start it early to make sure its done.. Would I have a problem pulling it when needed, then wrapping it and tossing it in a cooler. Then searing it...

    I need help! Beef Tenderloin...

    TThanks guys. Basically I'm looking at cooking it about the same as I had planned with the Prime Rib, except pull it off a little early and sear? I'll probably let it reach 125 or so, then sear at 6-700 for a few mins, does that sound ok for medium rare? I figure I will go light on the smoke...

    I need help! Beef Tenderloin...

    Ok, so my mother asked if I wanted to smoke a meat for Christmas Eve. I suggested a prime rib. So she went to one of the local butchers and they gave her a beef tenderloin. She could have told her the wrong thing, or they could have gave her the wrong thing. But regardless, I need to prepare a...

    Smoking my first brisket, any suggestions?

    Thanks guys, it may be my new favorite. It wasn't as hard to get right as I thought it would be, just had to wait the stall out. That said it was my first brisket, I may have just gotten lucky and the next one could be crap hah. I'm glad I got one under my belt though and it was a success, I...

    Pulled it off the grill at about 530 yesterday, let it rest until about 7.. It was amazing, very happy with it considering it was my first attempt. Sorry it took so long to get more pics up.

    Smoking my first brisket, any suggestions?

    Thanks.. I don't have a time restraint so ill pull it when its ready and let it rest for an hour or so.. when I smoke I tell everyone it will be done she's done heh.. We usually work on sides while the meat rests.

    Smoking my first brisket, any suggestions?

    Thanks for the suggestion, ill check it with a toothpick periodically once it hits 195 or so.. I plan on warping it and sticking it in a cooler to let it rest, how long should I do that with brisket? I usually let pork butts rest for an hour or so.

    Smoking my first brisket, any suggestions?

    They are good units for people not wanting to spend a ton of money..With a few mods they can be great units. I haven't really modded mine yet, though I will probably seal up some leaks in the near future. The only thing I have done so far is modify the ash tray in the side fire box and filled...
