Working a night shift getting home at 5:30 and starting my brisket flat when I get home. Decided to try this whiskey barrel oak. Anyone have any experience with it? Gimmick? Extra flavor? Meh? Just oak. Curious the crowds thoughts.
It will run with both fully closed. Try stack on #1 and intake about 1/4 of 1. I assume you did initial season? Also only light about 8-10 coals starting on side. My first time I had too much charcoal and too much burning at a time.
Thanks, yes I went looking and found where his post was. Definitely the route I will take. It’s only under 5#. What type of of wood if preferred?? I’m not into too heavy of smoke.
I’m very interested in making pastrami and corned beef. Have you posted a recipe for those? I love both, but I never buy it because I’m not a fan when it’s all fatty I would love to create my own lien cuts.
Hello bbq friends. Well Memorial Day per family request was a Blackstone Kabob cook. My next day off is Tuesday and weather permitting with all this southern New Jersey rain we’ve been getting I’m going to attempt my first brisket on a smoker, I had two left from my half beef purchase...
Yes, I feel very comfortable with it being consistent, I used it only for my first two cooks. One was all day at 275. The second was all day at 2:50 and that cook went 10 hours without touching a vent and the gauge never moved very happy with this smoker. I’m a complete noob so it’s really good...
It was pretty accurate in the 250 to 275 range at 300. It was off by about 40 to 50° the first two cooks. I use just that thermometer it’s consistent just not 100% accurate so once you learn, it will be fine however I do have an external Thermo works smoke X2 that I compared it against
End result very acceptable. Wouldn’t be mad being served this in a restaurant. And about $1/ sandwich vs $14 in my area. I like it lean so I was very surprised at yield. Thank you all for awesome pointers. If we could only share the bounty lol.
Thanks. Great info. I totally get sometimes more expensive isn’t always better. Sometimes cheap is awesome. I have plenty of Snapon overpriced tools and I have some great Harbor Freight stuff. My daughter bought me the german brand knife for my bday. I got to check them shears out. Thanks
So got the 6 pounder on at 7 am. Let go 2 hours untouched at 275 ish and a 2 hours was already 159. Let go till 170 bark was good. Wrapped in butcher paper, which I think I put too many layers on too many wraps around it made it up to 193 and stalled. After reading about moisture escaping...
Question for the veterans, I’m brand new to smoking. I have a OJ Bronco drum smoker, I did a long 10 hour chuck roast using Kingsford blue and white bag and held 250 the entire cook. Neatly stacked coals around perimeter working to center. Lighting a couple from one side so it could work across...
