    Flap on the "pointed side" of the brisket

    This is basically how I carve my briskets. Separating the point and the flat is easy if you start at the "corn" and follow the fat line. I don't try to slice both the point and the flat at the same time though...that seems a bit silly to me.

    Brisket on my new MES - help!

    I'm not exactly a 'newbie'.  I've been smoking meat for years on all kinds of smokers...just never with an MES. I'm hearing you all though.  I will do this for sure. Guess I'll use the Traeger for the briskets too - overnight Friday.  Wrap 'em with foil and a towel and rest 'em in a cooler...

    7 pounds of Yummmmmmm,!

    I'm unsure what cut you're talking about here - boneless beef ribs, as far as I know, are also sometimes called Country Style Ribs and are actually a cut off of the shoulder clod.  I've cooked them before, but I haven't smoked them.  I always sear and then braise.  Melt in your mouth, fork...

    First time doing boneless pork shoulder for pulled pork with Q/View

    I buy my meat for bbq almost exclusively from Cash and Carry.  Not sure why, actually, maybe I'm just in a rut. C&C has picnic roasts too, FYI. I'm doing a smoke this weekend.  Not sure what yet, but I've got a taste for some thin blue smoke flavor.

    First time doing boneless pork shoulder for pulled pork with Q/View

    Mighty fine looking butt there! I usually do boneless butts (I can get them cheaper here at Cash and Carry than bone-in) so I feel your pain.  I bought some butchers twine and now I tie 'em up.  I just try to oput them back in the same shape they were before the bone was cut out.  Works well...

    Smoked Pork Loin for tacos?

    Grrr...no finish pics.   Things got busy, guests arrive early, lots of hubbub = no pics. I can tell you all that I did pull at 145 IT and placed in aluminum roasting pan, added apple juice, apple cider vinegar mix, and rested for only 15 minutes.  When carving the first bacon-wrapped loin, the...

    Smoked Pork Loin for tacos?

    Just put these guys on the Traeger.  Planning on, oh, 3-4 hours @ 225.  Will pull at 145 IT and foil and rest until time to eat. Excited to see how this turns out.
