I have found that injecting with beef broth makes a huge difference. I also place the fatty side up so when it renders it goes into the meat. Yes, foiling to early can make a difference.
My last big brisket took 19 hours to reach 205 degrees. It was spot on after all that time.
Good luck on...
Here is a step by step guide that I used for this ribeye. Maybe it'll help others who are wanting to try one like this. Please remember this an almost 14lb whole ribeye.
1. I let the roast age in the fridge for 3 days. It was wrapped in cling wrap.
2. The fat cap although not to thick was...
Here is beautiful picture of a perfect ribeye at 141 degrees. It sliced up very easy.
My plate.
The baked beans were cooked in a dutch oven on top of the fire and the garden raised potatoes were wrapped in foil and slow cooked on the grill.
The entire ribeye was devoured. It had an...
Here is the beginning. I used a prime rib rub from Buckland spices and Worcestershire sauce. Hickory pellets in the a-mazing smoker tray.
Pulled and ready for au jus and foil wrap. Looking good, the temp is 134
Au jus is looking and tasting good.
Smothered and ready to cover in foil...
I must say this is a lesson learned on this roast. I put it in at 8:30 this morning at 225. It smoked 3 hours and after 4 hours the temp is 131 degrees. I'm pulling at 135 and wrapping in foil. I'm hoping it stays good for a few hours. I am shooting for a medium to medium rare middle as most...
Thanks Foamheart, I actually had read Bears post earlier. He has it down pat, however his weighed under 6lbs and it took approximately 5 hours.
Mine is almost 14lbs and I know it won't be close at five hours. I believe the pound per hour rule will be close for this smoke. That gives me a 14...
Ok fellow smokers, I am asking for advice on a whole ribeye weighing 13lbs.
I plan on injecting it with beef broth and rubbing it down about an hour before it goes into the smoker. That part I have down pat.
My plan is low and slow at 225 with hickory.
In your opinions how long do you believe...
My electrician was the same way. I had to enlighten him about the lower temps. He suggested the contactor. However it took two weeks to get it in, as I needed a 110v and most contactors are 12v.
This is my control box I use from Sausage Maker...
Dave, I agree with the condensation. To solve that problem for my build, I build a simple metal cover that fits snuggly on my stack. After the smoking is done I slip it on. So far after three years I haven't had a condensation problem. This also keeps the bugs out of it too.
I have a very similar build. My stack is on top and is 4". I run 220 electric so can't really help on the charcoal question. I might say though, if it's the charcoal taste your after, use a few briquettes inside on the near bottom. Electric is so much easier to keep the constant temps needed...
