    Brisket time

    I just picked up a nice Brisket from GFS.  $2.59 per pound.  Every place else was $3.99-4.99.  Cooking it later this week.

    Smoking Brisket Point Only for Burnt Ends

    The way I have seen brunt ends done is smoke it whole, then cube and sauce and put back on smoker for a bit. You don't want to just smoke a full packer and then separate it yourself?

    Charcoal taste

    OK take it as you will, I saw an episode of BBQ Pitmasters and one of the guys actually did a fine grate of charcoal over the meat as part of his finishing rub.  I thought it was pretty weird and I doubt I would ever try it.

    CAN'T FIND WOOD TO USE FOR SMOKING WITHOUT HARSH CHEMICALS ADDED. I LIVE IN PHILLY PA. ANY SUGGESTIO

    Don't forget Craigslist.  I was looking on there and the other day the golf course across the street from me posted a free firewood ad.  I called them and they told me where it was and they must have about 10+ cords of some nice Oak.  I pulled some and split it today and it looks real good. For...

    wood splitter

    I know you've already started this project but the depot has an electric 5 ton for $299.  Pretty good deal.  Seeing you are splitting oak, the 5 ton should make quick work of it. Heck I'd buy one and try it and if it didn't work as well as expected, take it back. Harbor Freight has on for $100...

    Figuring out how to post Pics here is my Big Green Egg Table!

    Great looking table.  If you hadn't told us you made it, I would swear it's store bought.  Great job!

    Brinkmann Trailmaster Limted Edition - mods

    I had some free time today so I decided to see about a tuning and deflector plate.  I did some research and it seems that 16g metal is about what most people use.  So I went to the local big box hardware store and got a 16g 24x24 sheet of metal and a grinder with cut off, needed the grinder for...

    Brining Pork

    I've always rubbed down my pork butts the night before.  It does create a gooey type of exterior as the sugars and salts create it from the natural juices of the meat.  Does it make a difference, I don't think so.  I'm beginning to look at smoking from the eyes of these smoke house...

    Basic Brisket Smoke

    You don't need sugars to create a bark.  I have seen plenty of briskets and other items that only end up with a salt and pepper rub and they have a nice bark on the outside.  You lose the bark when you wrap and put in a cooler.  All of the steam from the heat causes the bark to become soggy.  I...
