    second briket on the mini

    Thanks.  I know it is just gonna take time and practice. And I am gonna enjoy every beer drinkin' minute of it.  Well if I drank that much beer I'd probably not be able to walk straight.

    second briket on the mini

    It was the smaller peice of the 16 pounder...probably just under 4 lbs. My thinking was after 6+ hrs on the smoker up to 162* that about 1-1/2 hrs sounded like a good time.  If I woulld have checked the temp what should the finish temp be?

    smoked filet mignon question

    We are a family of 7. But only myself and oldest twin daughter are true meat lovers, the others like and eat it but not with as much enjoyment.  I think I will try both.  My only disappointment about the whole thing is the place I bought it is a 3 hour drave away and we only make the trip when...

    smoked filet mignon question

    I bought a 13# fillet mignon the other day for about $20. I already cut it in half. My question is... should I slice it into thick steaks or smoke it whole? Seasonings? Thanks.

    second briket on the mini

    Well I fired up the mini this morning to smoke my second brisket. The first one was pretty tough but had good flavor. This one turned much better but was a bit on the dry side. Two hours in.  I left it on for 6 hours at about 250* for most of the first 3. I could not get the temps down even...

    first brisket on my new mini

    Here is the result. The brisket on the left had decent flavor but was chewy, it was under 4lbs. My guess is it needed longer on the grill. The one on the right was something I found at the grocery store and was labeled 'lomo de res' which ended up Si?th the texture of a roast. They went for 6...

    Fired up for a Mini build

    Good flavor a bit chewy. I think it needed more time. Something went screwy with the meat temp. In 2 hers it was up to 158* then  not long after dropped down to 154*. At the 3hr mark it was down to 138*. Not sure why the drastic jump. I think the brisket was a flat. The other cut of meat was...

    first brisket on my new mini

    it began about 11:15 Am now 2 hrs in and holding around 220* w/158* internal. I had to move the mini into the shade an hour ago. Found the temps varied 10* when the clouds moved in front of the sun. Much more consistent now.

    Fired up for a Mini build

    gonna try the brisket tommorow.  got it rubbed down ready to go in the fridge.  I think I ended up with, from  what I've been reading, a flat.  I wasn't very big so I bought another cut that I am not real sure about.  It was labeled loma de res and was about 3" thick x 6" x 10".  I cut it in...
