    Pipe Nipple Intakes

    3/4 iron pipe, pvc, or black iron (sch 40) is 1 1/8 od, but the taper let's you use a 1" hole saw for a snug fit.

    Pipe Nipple Intakes

    yes iron pipe threads are tapered. If you have enough threads on the inside for your nut and washer you should be good. If not you may need to bearly swedge the hole. Edit: The tighter the hole the better the seal. You could also put on your valve so that you don't scar your threads and as you...

    LET'S TALK BRISKET!!

    I'm intrigued! When you say you half it, how do you mean? I definitely don't need 15lbs of brisket, as I'm only cooking for my family. Wife and 2 kids, as my youngest is still on the bottle. She may get a few bites of the tater salad. :)

    LET'S TALK BRISKET!!

    Right on brother, I read the entire thread. I've only ever done whole packers, but this weekend I'm cooking a rather large one and had been debating on splitting and cooking individually (partially for time and partially because of my smoker size), but not at the risk of a lowered quality of the...

    LET'S TALK BRISKET!!

    So the general agreement of SMF is that you can't get the same tender juicy brisket from a flat only cook vs whole packer?

    Smoker design advice PLEASE!

    The air tank is a 25 gallon, and after reading more and watching some videos, I may just make a wsm type smoker. I'm really torn......

    Splitting a brisket

    I definitely have. I don't think splitting will be the issue, I was wondering if I should cook it differently split than I would if it were whole.

    Splitting a brisket

    I got a good deal on a 15lb brisket. I have not smoked an untrimmed packer of this size before and my offset is rather small, so I think I may seperated the point from the flat and cook them separately. I usually cook whole brisket at 230 until I like the bark, then wrap it in packer paper, bump...

    Questions from a Rookie

    Next time you fire up, stick an oven therm inside and see if the temp is difference.

    Right on! The best thing you can do is keep trying. Everyone's pit is different, so there's no exact wrong or right. The more you cook on your smoker the more comfortable it will get.

    T Roy has some great info in this video about management on offsets. If link doesn't work just go to youtube and type t roy fire management. Hope this helps.

    Questions from a Rookie

    Definitely. There's a scientific reason for the stall, and some meats take a good while. What was the temp when you pulled it?

    Questions from a Rookie

    Also what are you cooking on? How did you rest it?

    Questions from a Rookie

    Did you internal temp it at all? Some fatty brisket is hard to get to temp, and definitely plateaus. It's really hard to say where you went wrong. There are lots of factors when cooking a big chunk of meat that long.

    Smoker design advice PLEASE!

    I currently have a small (really small) offset smoker. It's made from 14" pipe that is 5/8 thick. The fire box is 12" and the smoker chamber is 24". The smoke stack exits the end of the pit on the side, and is 2 1/2" in diameter and extends up ariund 18" I was recently given an old air...

    I'm new!

    I heard the church moved to Alto and bought a sawmill. Neches is definitely up, but not quite out of the banks on 7. It's flooded but receded in places like diboll. I kayak the neches so I've enjoyed the swift waters
