Scored the best looking brisket I have ever seen!!!
Thanks. It was $2.69 per pound. It was not labeled what grade, but was not as marbled as "prime" grade I have bought in the past from Sam's club before. Prime is just too fatty for my tastes -
Scored the best looking brisket I have ever seen!!!
It finished a bit faster than I anticipated, but came out awesome! I think this might just be the best brisket I have ever cooked! It looks a bit dry in the pics, but trust me, it was very moist and tender! I foiled it at 170 with beef broth and brewed coffee and finished it to probe tender... -
Pit Boss Copperhead for cold smoking cheese?????
I fear you will have smoked cheese puddles in a pellet smoker. Your best bet would be using the Amaz-N tube in there for smoke and it will likely produce enough heat , or maybe even too much. Use a Maverick or similar remote thermometer to monitor the temps closely and don't rely on the gauge...- radio

Scored the best looking brisket I have ever seen!!!
Had a friend get me a brisket from his food service that he uses for his restaurant and it is by far the best looking brisket I have ever bought anywhere! These folks specialize in premium aged Angus beef, so was anxious to try one of them. No way this went in the pellet pooper! Salt and... -

PIT BOSS 5-SERIES WOOD PELLET VERTICAL SMOKER vent adjustment
My Green Mountain suggests at least a two inch opening. You should never use the exhaust cap to control heat or smoke on a charcoal or stick burner, but instead use the air intake to control the heat. Restricting the exhaust can cause creosote and other unburned particles to give the meat a...- radio

Goal when building the fire?
Sounds to me like the smoker is not drawing properly. make sure the stack damper is wide open and check for large gaps between the firebox and cooking chamber. Next, make sure the CC door is sealing tightly. If it gets air anywhere except through the intake vent it will cause these problems...- radio

GMG DANIEL BOONE or REC TEC 590?
No experience with a Rec Tec, but I have a Daniel Boone and would not buy another. Great customer service, but the control boards seem to fail often and temps fluctuate more than I would like- radio

GMG help
I find that the fan in my Daniel Boone circulating the heated air can dry out things a bit too much for my liking. When doing a long cook like brisket or pork butt, I start them in my stick burner until they hit 160-170° or so, then wrap and put in the pellet grill basically using it as an oven...- radio

GMG help
Are you using the DB probe, or a another unit such as a Maverick? MY GMG Daniel Boone fluctuates 10-15 degrees as new pellets are augered in. I do not trust the GMG probe and always use my Maverick to monitor chamber and meat temps. My guess is the mass of the meat is affecting the temp...- radio

Okie style
I don't think it would necessarily be a "bad" idea, but my concern would be that it would not take on much smoke. I would be more inclined to reverse sear one that had been wrapped and the bark got a bit soft- radio

Rub ideas
the others are spot on with advice. One thing I like to add to a pork rub is a bit of ground up dried Rosemary. I like it so well that I keep a couple of rosemary plats going year around and cut fresh as needed. To dry quickly, place fresh sprigs in the microwave and nuke it in 15 second... -
new GMG Daniel Boone issues.. Temperature fluctuations..
I have a Daniel Boone and still have not got it to hold very steady even with a new control board. The one thing that helped was gradually repositioning the deflector over the fire pot until I found the sweet spot. I actually made a gauge out of a piece of copper so I can reposition it in...- radio

Retiring MES40 - Offset vs Traeger Pellet Smoker? (Or WSM??)
I have smoked for years on offsets and love the good ones. I have a love/hate relationship with my pellet grill. I have tried it many times to smoke from start to finish and even with a tube for extra smoke, I still prefer my stick burners. For large cuts like brisket and pork butt I have...- radio

New Braunfels information?
Great score! I have two of the older new Braunfels smokers and love them! The Hondo I restored is in my avatar. I also restored a Bandera vertical smoker and use it for summer sausage and larger cooks. After you get them cleaned up, use charcoal to start your fire, then use wrist sized splits...- radio

Brisket flat attempt #2. Tips?
If a water pan is under it, I would smoke it fat cap up. I would score it in a crosshatch patter almost down to the meat so the fat will keep the meat moist. I like to put them in a disposable aluminum pan with a rack under them and brew 12 - 16 ounces of black coffee and add 3-4 tablespoons... -
best offset smoker for the money
See my reply above to Sparky9's post about the Highland issues. A couple of tubes of red RTV sealant will help you seal up the smoker and help with the "smothering out" issues. The firebox has a big gap between it and the cooking chamber and the CC door does not seal well on these units...- radio

best offset smoker for the money
I welded the firebox halves together on my Highland and put sealer between it and the cooking chamber to seal off any gaps. I also did the silicone gasket an the cooking chamber door and it draws a LOT better than it did. Being bolted together, it has a lot of gaps that cause air leaks...- radio
