    Typical Newbie Brisket Questions

    Okay - sorry if I keep asking questions, but I want the brisket to turn out excellent...or at least edible with a good flavor, LOL When you are using the Minion method in a SFB on a CG, do you put the hot coals in the middle, or on the side?  Seeing some different ways to do this.

    Typical Newbie Brisket Questions

    Wow.  That's a bunch more info I wanted to see.  Thanks a bunch for that. Well, at this point, I'm probably a bit more comfortable (as well as informed, LOL) at doing a brisket.  I can do it next week - I have a couple of dial thermometers coming now that I got off of eBay, and I have my eyes...

    ROFLOL Oh, no, he's goin down.  He doesn't currently smoke any meats, but he thinks his is still better than mine, LOL.  I don't think the wife has the heart to tell him mine is better (cause she knows it is, LOL). So, you guys see nothing wrong with cutting the brisket into two pieces and...

    Typical Newbie Brisket Questions

    Do you have a coal basket?  How do you keep your heat up in there for so long?  That's my MAIN concern - I'd like to be able to relax instead of babysitting my smoker all the darned time, LOL

    Typical Newbie Brisket Questions

    I have a Char Griller Smokin Pro with SFB.  My worry is keeping the heat in my SFB - as of right now, I have to babysit it too much (as I don't have a coal basket).  That will soon change, hopefully, LOL. How did the 2nd half of the brisket turn out?

    Hmm, never thought of cutting it up.  Always thought that was a bad thing, LOL.  I see how you did yours, though, by putting it into a freezer bag. Your brisket looks reaaaaaal good, btw.

    Typical Newbie Brisket Questions

    The brisket I have is a packer - it's about 11 lbs, I think.  I know it's going to take me FOREVER to smoke this piece of meat, so I'm waiting until I get all my ducks in a row before I put this humongous slab of beef in my smoker. I just want my brisket to be nice and tender.  My goal...

    Typical Newbie Brisket Questions

    So, when I stick in the temperature probe I have, I put it into the flat ONLY?  Am I supposed to put the probe anywhere into the point through the flat?

    Typical Newbie Brisket Questions

    Okay, all, I'm not so much a TOTAL newbie to smoking, as i've successfully smoked Ribs, chicken, and have done about five pork butts (doing two next week).  I've even smoked a couple of turkeys (still want to perfect that, tried it one time thus far). I know pork butts are a very forgiving...

    Charcoal Basket for Side Fire Box in Char Griller

    The one time I smoked without my water pan, I was smoking two turkeys for thanksgiving as well as some pork loin.  That was the only time i didn't use a water pan in my smoker and it's the only time I ever had kinda dry meat. I have the fire side box with the cast iron grates.  I was thinking...

    Charcoal Basket for Side Fire Box in Char Griller

    Hey all, I'm thinking about building a charcoal basket for my side fire box, but the only problem is, I have those cast iron grates in there that I usually put my water pan on.  The Charcoal basket mod that I've seen all over the internet and this forum would require me to move my water pan...

    Steam Cleaning Grill or Smoker

    I'm going to try a very low powered shark steam cleaner to get around the edges of the door when spring comes.  Reason why is I'm going to continue modding my smoker and one of the things I want to put in there is a high temperature sealant to keep the smoke in.

    Need some help on the Mods to my Char-Griller SFB Smokin Pro

    First off, let me say that I've been looking at the mods on here and have enjoyed looking at all of them.  I've done one thus far - the chimney mod (with the stovepiping inside).  Works like a charm.  Now, I'd like to seal up the cracks where smoke escapes.  I went to Ace Hardware to find some...
