    Texas native in Indiana

    Welcome! I lived in Indiana for many years. There is a great BBQ place in Edinburgh, Indiana named Hickory Hills. Highly recommend it if you are near there. The original owner used to grow all of his peppers on site and made a great Carolina slaw to put on top of the sandwiches. He had over...

    It has been a minute but I am back with a brisket!

    I appreciate the feedback! I had one probe in the point reading 165 and the flat probe was 167. That was when I wrapped at 3am. When I checked at 8am the temps had only jumped to 172 and 170 respectively. Which made me think along the lines of what you are saying and don't wrap it so soon...

    It has been a minute but I am back with a brisket!

    Well here is the final product. I was a little disappointed in how it came out. I will say that everyone loved it and there was none left. I only got to eat what I call the pitmaster privilege cut as I set it out to be served. Felt it was a little dry and didn't get the bark I wanted. I...

    It has been a minute but I am back with a brisket!

    Yes. I run probes for ambient and will run one from the flat and one from the point so I can monitor. This smoker has a ceramic plate that goes above the coals to disperse the heat evenly. I will have a pan underneath for drippings and moisture. I am going to inject beef broth tonight about...

    What do you think about the amount of charcoal on my method below? Too much or too little?

    It has been a minute but I am back with a brisket!

    Question for all. I am really worried about having to add heat later in the night so I decided to go with this minion method. Here is what I have stacked on the sides and will put a whold chimney of lit coals in the middle tonight. Does this look okay? Too much? Too little?

    Smoked Pork Steaks with Monroe County Vinegar Dip

    Those look awesome! About how long did it take to get up to 160 and is that when you foiled them? Looking for another dish for Saturday to go with our Pork Shoulder and Loin.

    Masterbuilt Vertical Duel Fuel Smoker Questions

    Thanks! I currently own two of these smokers but have never used charcoal with them. Was wondering if there is anyone on here that owns one and has used charcoal. I have never been a huge fan of using charcoal because I feel that it needs to be played with too much. But now with all of this...
