    First time corned beef brisket.. nailed it

    Did a brisket tonight. Rinsed it dryed it. Cut cross hatches on the top. Rubbed on the season packet. Set the temp for 240°, used apple wood. I used a wireless probe and took it to 180°. All I can say is it's perfect. Juicy as all get out and it just melted in your mouth. Smoker is...

    The black sheep of the smokers.. "galvanized steel trash cans"

    I agree unclebubba, I was provided great info specifically from Marc and ringy. The way I see is that thoughts on this are scattered with negative and positive notions. Perhaps I do need to grow a thicker skin but all of that kinda took the wind out my sails.

    The black sheep of the smokers.. "galvanized steel trash cans"

    What are the thoughts on file cabinets and 55gal drums and oil tanks. There must be a health risk to some extent.

    The black sheep of the smokers.. "galvanized steel trash cans"

    1-2-3 ribs in progress

    1-2-3 ribs in progress

    I rubbed them up and let them sit for awhile. Put them in at 225 for 3 hours. Then foiled them for about 1 1/2 hours. I by no means screwed up the meat. Just wasn't as moist as I like. That's why I was wondering about water.

    The finished product. They were slightly on the dry side but tasted great. Next time a small pan of water will be used.

    Trash can chicken, first run ever!

    I had it loaded down. 5lbs of chicken, drip pan full of water, small cast iron skillet for chips with foil covered. I was getting high temps of 350 but with all everything in there I could only get it to 250°. Had the coil maxed and never needed to adjust. Kept a solid 250 the whole time...
