    Prime Brisket Smoke ?

    I am looking forward to it and $3.59/lb at Costco is hard to say no to! I will have to cut it down a bit to fit in my mes 30 but probably still gonna start it around 8pm to play it safe, I will probably start out max temp them lower to about 240 an hour or so in. The good thing about the...

    Prime Brisket Smoke ?

    I am smoking my second brisket ever tonight thru the morning. I got a 15lb prime packer from Costco. For all you that have smoked prime brisket is does it usually go faster or about the same as using a choice brisket?

    Pickled red onions shelf life??

    just wondering if anyone knows how long pickled red onions last in the fridge. I made a bunch for Easter and still have bunch left. I love them but the rest of my family won’t eat them, I’d hate to throw them out. Simple recipe of 2c apple cider vinegar, 1/2c brown sugar,2tbs kosher salt and 1...

    First brisket smoke

    Everything turned out great! I pulled at 9am internal temp was 195 and I probed a few times for tenderness. I wrapped in butcher paper and then towels, I rested until 11:45 and was steaming hot still as you said. My family said everything was excellent. I already posted some of these pics in a...

    What’s cookin for Easter?

    I have a thread in electric smokers about my first brisket smoke but thought I would share since you asked, was real nervous about it but it turned out great today for my whole family. For the pit I did the brisket, burnt ends, and dutches beans, to make a whole BBQ shindig I also made twice...

    First brisket smoke

    Excited my first brisket smoke is underway! I trimmed and cut it just enough to fit, and put it in my mes 30 at 8pm. Got a probe to monitor the temp and it seems to be running hot with it maxed out at 275, so I bumped it down to 250 around 9pm and it is running between 250-260. Here is what I...

    First brisket smoke

    Thanks for all your input, probably as most do with their first brisket I’ve ran 100s of different scenarios thru my head. That pic you posted looks great! I was leaning towards only trimming what I needed and keeping and smoking the other part later. So this just solidified it for me. Do you...

    First brisket smoke

    Yeah I better start earlier, like 7 or 8 pm the night before just to be safe. I am leaning more towards just cutting it and having some flat attached to the point. Seems like that is pretty common, and I still don’t think the whole flat will fit on one rack. Thanks for your input and I’ll...

    First brisket smoke

    Thanks for the input from your experience. When you cut it you mean at the thick part with point still attached to some flat, correct? Makes sense about the air circulation. Maybe I’ll try the whole thing at an L with a rack sideways at a later date. My mes does seem to run around the temp...

    First brisket smoke

    I’m still very new to smoking and I’m doing my first brisket for my entire family for Easter. It is rather nerve racking cause I want it to turn out good even though I know my family will be forgiving if it don’t. I got a 14lb packer and am starting the smoke Saturday night. I know after...
