    An Embarrassing Confession!

    I've  never cooked brisket...I've read so many times how easily it dries out that I've never tried. I cook tri-tips often matter of fact I've got several currently in the freezer.

    Wood in 100+ degree California Heat

    Thanks for all the replies everyone. I had a feeling it was off, but I thought I'd ask anyway. I'm new to smoking meat, but I've been to other respected smoking wood sites and most say just keep in the cardboard box it came in and possibly even punch holes in the box. Now I'm excited about using...

    I like'm a little saucy!

    I have a decent idea about rub as I've found some good places to start for them. I know I REALLY enjoy Big Ron's and Rufus Teague Touch of Heat. I understand these are both Texas style tomato based, even though I really like these two I want to make my own, but I'm not sure how much of each...
