    Help with Maverick ET #73

    I finally decided to go ahead and drill mine... sure beats buying new probes for every smoke!

    Brisket... what would you do?

    Ok so far so good, after 5 to 6 hours they were ready to come off, I sliced the point off and foiled the flats to go in the oven. I can already tell the changes helped, OMG it was sopping wet inside! On the smoker they go... 3 hours in.... and almost ready to come off... Ive got the...

    Brisket... what would you do?

    Caveman, I do the oven thing because it helps to save fuel for the smoker. Once its foiled I dont think it matters because Im just looking to reach my finish temp and not add more smoke. I think what DID matter is that I was running it too low and too slow, so im gonna try 275 this time to...

    Brisket... what would you do?

    Sounds like a plan! I will get them trimmed, injected and rubbed tonight and give it a shot tomorrow, and report back.

    Brisket... what would you do?

    Its just regular garden variety grocery store packer briskets, never tried "choice" Im sure that would make a big difference, but the brisket Im doing was supplied to me for a family event so I had no choice. I left the fat cap alone, just trimmed the big clod of fat, but didnt take it entirely...

    Brisket... what would you do?

    To clarify a couple of points... What I consider dry, Take a piece as Im slicing it and if its hard to swallow... its too dry for me. This is without any kind of sauce or added juice. I also add apple juice to the foiling part. And yes I do rest it in a cooler with beach towels. This is the...

    Brisket... what would you do?

    Need some advice. I have never really been too fond of Brisket, It always comes out too dry for me. Other people say they love mine, but Im not feeling it. My brisket makes others happy, but not me. On my last attempt I even tried injecting (apple juice and a store bought marinade) to see if...

    Help with Maverick ET #73

    I think you got a bad probe. I got the same one for Christmas, used it for the first time yesterday, and apparently both probes are shot. reading 112 and 198 degrees just sitting on the counter. While it was working, it was great! I think the probes are very fragile, Ive read where others have...

    Trying to smoke a turkey but my ET73 is WAY off

    Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I got a ET 73 for Christmas. I decided to give it a go today, I think it worked ok, except now that Im done... the thing is reading wrong. Ive got the two probes laying on the counter and its reading 112 and 198. I thought maybe if I cycle the power off and on...

    Spring Cleaning!

    Even though I scraped off all the gunk, It still has a nice layer of grease on it, I didnt use any cleaners on it at all. Im thinking I can just run it nice and hot for an hour to burn it out and I will be good to go. That bucket of "flavor makers" sure did stink, real pungent stuff. Time to...

    Spring Cleaning!

    Hi all, Spring has sprung... well almost. I decided I need to give my smoker a good cleaning, Ive never really cleaned it out before since it has always drained well. But I noticed that on the last few smokes that the drain plugged up. So I broke out a couple different sizes of putty knives and...

    Smokin Gun?

    Can you imagine pulling that thing down the highway? Really though it should be pointed the other way around. One other thing... I suppose only THIS kind of rub works in this smoker???

    Need to knock some socks off

    Go to the local butcher and get him a nice thick T-Bone steak, grill it up to perfection. Go ahead and do the ribs too! Pass along our thanks, we appreciate all that they do!!

    Advice on Party

    I always throw something else on there, just for the simple fact that while I got the smoker going I might as well try to fill up the grate. Something simple like Hot Links would be good.... and easy!

    Help! My wife just came home with spareribs!

    All replies are pointing you in the right direction. One thing to add... the yellow mustard helps the rub stick on there good, and once smoked you wont be able to taste the mustard. It also helps in forming a nice bark. Definetly pull the membrane, its not hard to do. I cant stand eating a rib...

    Need Labels printed, suggestions?

    Ok here you go. But first an explanation, The year we all got custom T-shirts I was named the Sea Captain since I was the most experienced boater in the family. So thats why I named the rub the way I did. Kind of an inside joke to the rest of the family. Its not perfect, I may change it up...

    Need Labels printed, suggestions?

So this year on vacation I decided I wanted to mix up a huge...
