    What am I working with here???

    I agree with them looks like you got the best part of the brisket. The only tricky part will be slicing as the grain of the flat goes one way and the point goes another. After it’s done you can either separate them and slice separately or, my favorite, rotate 45 degrees to slice diagonally...

    Ref; Favourite BBQs!

    Don’t really use commercial sauce but head country or sbr will get you home in a pinch. As far as favorite recipes, it depends on what it’s going on. noboundries has a great mustard sauce that I love on pork and chicken. Then again there’s vinegar sauce for pork and white sauce for chicken and...

    Why do my burgers suck?

    So I’ve been reading through this thread and now I’m not sure I remember everything that’s been suggested or tried so forgive me. Have you tried a reverse sear yet? It seems like you’re trying to get a good crust without cooking the life out of it or eating raw beef. I’m not familiar with your...

    BDSkelly ~ Pork Butt Fajitas

    Dang that looks delicious! I’ve done enchiladas and tacos but never thought of fajitas. I’ll have to give it a try in the fall. I swear every time I make fajitas in the spring there’s a tornado. Lance

    What should i smoke?

    My go to for that type of smoke would be two spatched chickens and a couple kielbasas. At 325-350 they are usually done in the 1:30-2:00 range leaving plenty of time to relax after work and catch up up with your friend.

    To Wrap a Pork Butt or To Not Wrap A Pork Butt

    Absolutely Ray, ever since the first person built a pit with cinder blocks instead of digging a whole in the ground folks have been arguing about what is the right way. I go back and forth on the shoulder section. Whole shoulder, picnic, butt, chopped, pulled, etc. doesn’t matter it’s all...

    Charcoal & Wood or Just Wood?

    Like some of the others have mentioned, I start my fire with about a qtr chimney of lit coals. I just dump them in the center of the fire box and stick a couple splits on top with the lid open. Once they are fully burning I’ll close the lid and stick a couple more on the lid to preheat. Once my...

    Various temps at different points--for a full load, what temp to hit?

    Personally, I would go by the door gauge if it’s reading correctly. At the end of the day you’re cooking the meat. Definitely, try Al’s water pan and see if that evens things out for you but I wouldn’t get too hung up on the exact temp in every part of the cooker. After a few cooks you’ll know...

    What’s Cooking on Memorial Day???

    Yup even up here in north MS we’re kind of screwed. I was going to throw a chuck on while I mowed and woke up to storms. We have friends over tomorrow and it’s looks like the forecast calls for tacos.
