    Is bark on the wood a problem

    Hi guy's, When smoking, does it make a difference if I keep the bark on the wood? Or should I remove it? It would be easier just to leave it on. If it makes a difference I will remove it.

    Smoking brisket on 22" WSM

    I think the brisket I bought was already trimmed. Next time I'll ask for the fat left on and do it myself. It's funny you say about it tasting like roast beef! That is what it tasted like. I assumed it was because I over cooked it? But I also thought I worked to correct internal meat...

    Smoking brisket on 22" WSM

    Ok thanks. I've got a drink, which helps! I've wrapped it. I'm not running low on briquettes tho. How should I go about adding more? I know if you stir up the briquettes too much the temperature sky rockets.
