    Shootr's First Brisket Ramblings

    2.99/lb at Costco for a prime - and with a long weekend ahead - figured I'd give it another go. It's all injected with marinade and will trim it and start it tonight. Hope to correct a few mistakes from the first one: Trim more evenly Keep better track as it approaches the stall Check for...

    Smoke an Egg Casserole?

    Winner winner chicken dinner.... It was a hit - she says everyone had some and loved it - so that's cool. Smoke + Eggs = more gooder.

    I'm looking for small bite things I can throw on the smoker and pull out as we desire.

    Somebody here did scotch eggs a while back that looked fantastic.

    Smoke an Egg Casserole?

    Looks good, guess I'll find out in the morning if it tasted good... Tried to keep it kinda light - can't have all the nurses falling asleep after too rich of a dinner!

    Smoke an Egg Casserole?

    I figured I would prep the recipe like usual - saute the veggies in a pan w/ olive oil, etc. - then just cook the complete mixture on the grill instead of the oven - seems like a bit of smokiness wouldn't hurt - but don't want to overlook some bad reaction that might be lurking. Gotta send the...

    Smoke an Egg Casserole?

    Just tossing it out there... So I'm tasked with making a "breakfast" themed dish for the missus' graveyard shift potluck tomorrow and am going to bake up an egg casserole for her to take. And now that I'm addicted to smoking things - was wondering if using my Camp Chef pellet grill to cook it...

    Where to Place Tube - CC DLX24 Pellet Grill

    Pretty sure you nailed it. Yesterday with a brisket I put it on the right side opposite the temp probe. I don't think it got good airflow since the drip pan completely blocked it from air movement from below. Going to do a cleanup on it today - think I'll foil the drip pan this time. I use...

    Shootr's First Brisket Ramblings

    It was 13lbs before trimming so yeah, I think 12 is a fair bet - not a lot of fat came off it - probably too much in places. "Self-diagnosed OCD" is a you-know-what (LOL) - being a compulsive planner has it's pluses and minuses - but minimizing the surprises and hitting goals close to the mark...

    Shootr's First Brisket Ramblings

    For a first effort, I'm ecstatic. Wound up resting for 2 hours and was still piping hot and looked perfect. Though it got unanimous rave reviews, one side was slightly less moist than the other. But I'm nitpicking - it was a great dinner and early Christmas celebration Oh, and I tried my...

    Shootr's First Brisket Ramblings

    And at hour 13, I believe it's done! Probing all over is slick as silk, and I'm getting between 202-205 degrees all over. So it's about 12:30pm local time with dinner planned at 2:30ish, so into the cooler it goes. I'm like a kid before Christmas

    Do pellet grills like this (or any "lightweight" smoker i.e. not made out of 1/4" steel and 250 gallon propane tanks) benefit from some sort of added thermal mass in the cook chamber to reduce the temp swings? I wonder if a couple fire bricks in the bottom, or maybe the top rack, or both -...

    Shootr's First Brisket Ramblings

    6 hours in and I think it was starting to stall. So we went to the store and breakfast. Wrapped in paper when we got back, it read 164 in a couple places. Not nearly as dark as most I see, but maybe they weren't half done like this one. Grill seems to hold 225 +/- pretty well in mid 40's...

    Shootr's First Brisket Ramblings

    On the grill at 11:30pm now back to bed... Not easy trimming when it's the first one, doesn't look like the YouTube videos I watched... Salt, pepper, onion, and garlic after a pat down. Now it's 225 plus the smoke tube until morning/165.

    Where to Place Tube - CC DLX24 Pellet Grill

    Picked up a 12"tube to see if it'd add more noticeable smoke profile to the meats. Seems like they can be placed about anywhere but when things get tight (space-wise) is there any definite "do's and/or don'ts" of where ir can or should go? This is with 2 racks of ribs this morning, so maybe...

    Beef chuck smoking

    Nothing I can add as advice, I'm new to this too - but this pic is really, really good - if that was in an advertisement for the restaurant I would beating the door down to get some! Best of luck!

    Shootr's First Brisket Ramblings

    Pulled the 13lb prime flat out of the freezer and put it in the fridge to slowly thaw. Our fridge is 36-38 degrees, so shooting for Thursday night-ish so it will be ready for marinade injection Friday morning. Current plan is to start it at midnight Friday/Saturday, for a 1PM Saturday...
