    First Brisket Update - Cooked on 1/1/15

    I'll have to check on the local rub to see its contents again. I stayed away from worchestshire because I was afraid of too much salt. I unfortunately didn't take any photos of the slices. It did have a nice smoke ring. Didn't cut up any burnt ends.

    First Brisket Update - Cooked on 1/1/15

    Hello everyone! I asked a few days prior to new years about some tips regarding brisket and my overall game plan. Well the results turned out great. Wanted to share my experience with everyone.  I rubbed the brisket down with mustard and seasoned about 3.5 hours before placing on the smoker...

    1st Brisket Smoke - My plan

    Awesome input folks! I appreciate it a lot. I've gotten really good at smoking chicken wings. I've had a consistent product for a long time since I did some research and experimentation on lighting the smoker. Found two specific methods that were great. I did a pork shoulder a few months back...

    Weber Charcoal Smoker 18.5" Heat Control

    Yesterday was my first attempt at cooking a 3lb pork shoulder for my family and myself. All and all it turned out great and was very pleased. I only had one minor "hiccup" in the whole process, which didn't turn out to be that big of a deal because in the end the meat was cooked perfectly and...

    Weber Charcoal Smoker - 18.5" ; Inconsistancies, and Novice Issues - Please Advise!

    @Pops6927 - If I read that correctly, after heating the charcoal in the chimney, you pour the burning coals into can, let the heat from that light the other coals, and then pull it out? I'm confused as to how that read about putting the coals into the can, and then pull the can. Other than that...

    2.5 - 3lb Pork Shoulder

    So after reading the pork sticky, and a few threads I think I have a decent grasp on what to do with the pork shoulder. Is it appropriate to use an injection with the pork shoulder or is that something I shouldn't do? If it is something that is appropriate when should I inject it? 12 hours...

    Oh wow, you all are awesome. I learned a lot from reading through your comments. @resstealth - If you look at the picture that @forluvofsmoke posted just a couple comments later, take that but no can, and fill the ring up completely all the way around, not just one side. @resstealth &...

    Different wood chips, same taste.

    So I've been using my electric smoker for about 2 yrs now. Great with chicken wings, and other smaller meats however I've been hitting a couple of road blocks. 1) larger meats that take several hours; if I want to smoke some pork that I know will take 8-10hrs, but I have to keep changing the...
