    My First Brisket

    I foil mine around 165 usually but I have done them without foil as well. Without foil you will get good, tough bark. With foil it will be soft bark. Moisture is about the same from what I've seen. The most important thing is to let the meat rest for a while before slicing to give the juices...

    My First Brisket

    Brisket has a lot of connective tissue and is a pretty tough cut. This is why it works so well for low and slow cooking. It's done and safe to eat over about 130. You wouldn't want to eat it at that temp. It will be so tough you might break a tooth. The higher temp allows all the fat and...

    I need to try this again. I got so frustrated with blowouts and not being able to load them on the tube last time I said no way. I wanted to try tubed casings next time

    First Bacon

    My first time I did 12 hours. Last time I did 30. My wife found it to be too smokey. She's not a huge fan of smoke flavor though (hates smoked cheese.) I like both but the 30 hour you can smell the smoke coming out when you cook it. I'd recommend 12 unless you really like smoke flavor.

    Can I thaw frozen brats and smoke them?

    I think you will be giving up some flavor refreezing. I would thaw and smoke small batches as you are ready to eat them.

    My First Brisket

    I usually do a simple rub then smoke at 250. I foil at 165 and I usually pull it out around 195-200. I go by the toothpick test. If a toothpick slides in like butter it's done. I leave it foiled and put it in a towel filled cooler for at least an hour before slicing.

    Ribs

    Just did ribs today. I usually smoke them around 235-240 degrees. With baby backs I like to do 2.5, foil with some apple juice for 2 hours, and the final hour for firm up. I remove the membranes, coat in mustard then rub before smoking.
