    Brisket #2

    I’m back. Going to smoke brisket number two tomorrow. Costco prime whole packer 18lb trimmed to about 12. Last time I cooked at 225 and it took 18 hours. Going to do 250 this time.

    LG900 owners with cold smoke cabinet

    It's cooling off and I'm eager to try smoking some cheese in my recently purchased LG 900 with cold smoke cabinet. Looking for tips/tricks for this unit. Is it as simple as putting pellets in the hoper and opening the side vent, or would I be better served buying a smoke tube or similar? /n00b...

    Smoking my first brisket today

    I let it sit for an hour and had a little bit while it was still warm. This was at midnight. I put it in the fridge and will heat some up today for dinner. :)

    Smoking my first brisket today

    Can’t say I was very hungry by midnight, but I did have a few pieces. The brisket has a good bark and seems to be a bit on the dry side (at least in the ends). I was surprised to not have more drippings in the pan but that may be due to the cook at 225? Next time I think I’d cook at 250. Here’s...

    Smoking my first brisket today

    195! Seemed soft with a toothpick in various places so I pulled it. Resting now.

    Smoking my first brisket today

    lol it's 10:30 and it hit 192.1, but but it's been sloooooow going and it just regressed a bit to 191.9. I'm wondering if it's hitting the point of little return at 225 and I should toothpick it or bump to 250.

    Smoking my first brisket today

    Still going at 8:20p. Been in the 180’s since 6p. I guess I know what’s not for dinner tonight!

    Smoking my first brisket today

    Graphs of the two probes so far. It’s been a bit breezy so I turned the smoker a bit. I suspected the lower temp probe was getting affected by the wind as it is near the exhaust vent. I don’t think I’ve hit the 160 degree stall yet.

    Smoking my first brisket today

    Thanks for the advise. The probes are hard to see in the pic. There's one in front and one in the back. I tried to find the thickest part and since I had two ports to use on my Smoke, I figured I'd put in two to see how they differed. Will wrap at 160 or so when it stalls and then monitor for...

    Smoking my first brisket today

    Hi everyone, Today I’m smoking my first brisket. I got a prime whole packer from Costco that was somewhat small - 8.75lb. I trimmed about 3 pounds of fat off the meat and put a simple salt and pepper seasoning on it. After reading about various methods, I decided to put it on a rack in an...

    New LG Champion Smoker with cold smoke offset

    Was in Costco today and saw the LG900 is $100 off until 6/17. $799 is a great price for this unit. $699 is excellent.

    My first time making pulled pork on my Louisiana Grill LG900

    My first long cook and it came out great! Good flavor and plenty for leftovers. I used mustard then put on some "Butt Rub" I had in the pantry. Cooked for 12 hrs at 240 with apple pellets.

    Brisket

    Thanks everyone for the replies. It seems the consensus is this cut is too lean to cook slow and low. What type of cooking style is this lean cut good for? i.e. what would you do with this cut if it was gifted to you?

    Brisket

    Thanks for the helpful and detailed response! Two questions: Cutting off a large portion of the flat - you mean something like this? http://www.slapyodaddybbq.com/wp-content/uploads/IMAG16691.jpg Treat it like a Chuck Roast - is that what you had in mind...

    Brisket

    While browsing Costco, I saw a smaller, trimmed brisket next to their larger 12-16lb vacuum packed briskets. Curious what everyone’s opinion is on these smaller cuts. I’m still a noob and there’s only two of us in the house, so 12lb. Brisket is a lot to make, but a 3-4 pound one would be ideal...

    Smoke WiFi Gateway is on sale

    They had a statement on their website about warranty and authorized sellers. Apparently there’s a large amount of fakes out there and when they break, Thermoworks gets calls and upset customers that are not really theirs.
