    Brisket Cooking - with Q View

    I am leaving with the brisket at 3pm on Friday. The ranch where the party is does not have a smoker. I thought if I got 6 or 8 hours of smoke on it at home and then finished it in the over it would be better than nothing.

    Is everyone a bbq expert? What is the craziest BBQ advice someone has told you and what did you say?

    I went to pick up a couple of briskets at a local place in town (my church has a credit card with this place so I have to go there for church bbq functions). All they had was select briskets. When I asked if they have any choice or higher briskets the meat manager gets real defensive and starts...

    Need Help with Using Oak

    Well I smoked three briskets in my NBBD and they turned out incredible. I started with lump charcoal and then added a small split of oak every 30 minutes. Once the lump charcoal went out the wood was not staying lit. I have the dampeners open but the log still did not have enough oxygen. When I...

    Need Help with Using Oak

    I have been smoking for 5 years with lump charcoal. Today I bought some seasoned oak and want to start using it in my vertical smoker and NBBD. This is my knowledge so far: 1. The bigger the smoker the bigger log you can use 2. If you choke down the fire too much you will get lots of bad...

    well thanks to everyone that chimed in. I cooked the q ahead of time, sliced it cold the day of the event, added some broth in a pan, heated the meat up on site for about 35 minutes and everyone was really happy. cooking ahead of time, chilling, and reheating will be my go to for any large quantity.

    Prime Brisket Story

    I went to Costco today to look for meat. It was my first time in the meat department. I looked at briskets and saw they had amazing looking choice packers for $2.39 lb and prime packers for $2.69 lb. I thought prime was really hard to find and really expensive. As I looked at the meat in awe I...
