Lets see if we can go for a personal best of 2 photo posts in a row working :-)
Here is a pic of the brisket. Been on for 1.5 hours, already 157 degrees, added some more charcoal to keep the heat on in and some hickory chunks. "Spritzed" it after I flipped and we'll check in another 1.5...
Lets see if my photo adding skills are getting better. Here's a pic of my newly installed thermometers. The one on the left (near the brisket) sittin' right at 250, the one on the right at 300 and the standard one on the lid right about 300 also. I'll get a pic of the brisket when I open her...
It's almost the weekend again, and once again I've been volunteered to smoke another brisket (darn). I'm curious to see how my temps stay today. Since I live in Vegas and it's close to 100 outside already I think I might use a lot less charcoal today to keep my temps around 250. I added some...
Unfortunately I am only able to eat one burger at a time, so I got the brisket one first, and it was AMAZING! I've been cooking on a gas grill for a long time so I think just using charcoal to make a burger added a lot but the bbq sauce and onions just sent it over the top! Can't wait to eat...
I think I have a sickness, and the only cure is MORE COWBELL....wait wrong forum. Anyway I decided to make some burgers on the smoker tonight. I figured I'd used the SFB from my Chargriller as a grill. So I started by just making boring ol' cheese and onion stuffed burgers and while I was in...
Another great bonus of putting the fattie right above the chicken was the all the drippings from the fattie "basted" the chicken, so not only was it juicier than the rest of the chicken but had a great fattie flavor infused.
That is great advice about the chicken. I had put everything else on as an after thought since the whole reason I was smoking anything was for the chicken. But now I know better :-) I have done the 5 day course. I think I did that the first day I discovered the site. I think I will revisit...
I bought a book the other day (since I know nothing about smoking) to kinda get me started in the right direction to making awesome Q. Along with this site I think I'll be doing ok. The book is called "Low & Slow" by Gary Wiviott. If anything it is a humorous read and has lots of great...
No foil, just spritz once an hour. Seems to work good. I think I just used too many chunks at once. Last time I used chips and they burned up quickly so I threw about 3 chunks on this time and I think they just lasted longer and let the flavor sink in more.
I bought a bag of Hickory chunks the same time I bought the Mesquite so I think I will try that next time. Still tastes good, but it's even better with some bbq sauce on it now too.
