    How fast can I cook a 10lb brisket?

    I did not say it won't be any good if you do it that way. I DID say I ddin't think a brisket of that size would cook that fast. Clearly I was wrong. Assuming it was really cooking at 275°. Again, that depends on the size. It may work on a 6 pound flat but on a 15 pound unseparated packer...

    First time smoker! In need of help.

    You want your temp closer to 240°. 225° to 250° is the reccomended range. I shoot for 240ish and I say "ish" because it's pretty damn hard to regulate right on a given temp. So if my smoker wanders between 230° and 265° I don't worry about it. It's a lot more relaxing that way. Is there...

    temp for sliced pork

    What he said. For pulled 195° to 205° is what you want. It may be a little hard to pull at 185°. Dave

    1st Attempt at Pulled Pork, with Q-View of course

    Looks good. You could bump the MES up to the point where your grate temps are 240° or even (GASP) 250° and it wouldn't hurt a thing. Looks like some tasty pulled pork is in your near future. Dave

    Rib Help

    Some folks make a "bed" of honey and brown sugar in the foil and place the ribs meat down during the foil stage. Looks pretty tasty from what I've seen. You could also brush them with honey during the final stage. Good luck. Dave

    1st attempt at pulled pork with Q-view

    Good lookin' pulled pork. That's the secret for electrics from what I have heard. I don't own one so I can't say first hand. I do use a propane burner in my SnP and I notice the smoke ring is not quite as pronounced as it is when I smoke stuff in the charcoal fired UDS. I know a lot of...

    How fast can I cook a 10lb brisket?

    According to your post of 3-24-2010 So you've been smoking less than a month. Looking through the threads that you started you've smoked a prime rib, some chicken and some pulled pork. I didn't see anything about smoking a brisket. I must have missed that thread. Don't discount the posts...

    @Jeff: Will you add the forum extention to embed Youtube vids?

    I don't think it costs anything but I think some admins consider enabling the HTML embedding like that a security issue. That may be a question for Brian to address. I belong to another forum that has that feature but it is limited to one sectioin of the forum. Dave

    How fast can I cook a 10lb brisket?

    I doubt it. Depends on the weight. Dave

    How fast can I cook a 10lb brisket?

    Who knows, you miight hit a fast one. I had a 14 pounder hit 195° in 10-1/2 hours smoking in the 250s. Certainly not the norm for me though. Twelve to 14 pounders usually take 15 hours + in the UDS. But like I said, keep us posted. I do want to try one in the 350s sometime just to see how it...

    UDS with doors

    If it leaks too much and runs away on you with the door at least you can use a smaller basket and reload fuel as necessary. Kind of like a 22.5" WSM but at a much lower cost. Either way it'll cook some meat. So when's the trial run? Dave

    How fast can I cook a 10lb brisket?

    LOL That's a good one. What temp do you consider "done"? Because I don't think you're going to hit 195° in 5 hours at 270°. Maybe 375°. Keep us posted. Dave

    Fuel for Smoking

    I use Kingsford Comp and wood in the UDS and propane and wood in the SnP. Although I may have to do a charcoal smoke in the SnP one of these days for old times sake. Dave

    UDS Temp Problem

    What he said. Definitely some leaks somewhere. I would try the rope gasket under the lid. Good luck. Dave

    UDS with doors

    Interesting idea. Remember, it takes very little air for a UDS to get out of control. I'll be interested in seeing your test runs. If you are able to load a full basket of fuel, light a small portion of it and not have it get out of control temp wise, that will be impressive. Dave

    1st attempt at pulled pork with Q-view

    No worries. I don't know about the others, but I kind of like the "play by play" threads. Makes it like we're almost right there with ya. Now pass me a beer, would ya? Dave

    1st attempt at pulled pork with Q-view

    Looks good. Keep us posted. You won't get much if any smoke ring with an electric. Not enough byproducts of combustion. http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/for...ad.php?t=61546 BUT, you're right, it won't really matter. I'm sure it will taste great. Dave
