    Where to put my brisket?

    We'll see. I figure that once I trim the really thin part of the flat off it will fit.

    Where to put my brisket?

    I have an MPS with two racks. I am doing a packer brisket for the 4th. Which rack do I put it on? I also plan on doing some ribs either after the brisket is done or toward the end. Can I Add the ribs in at the end on the other rack?

    We definitely like the no foil better but they were both good.

    First Time Ribs on the Smoker

    For Father's Day I had my first attempt at ribs in the smoker. I bought two racks of spareribs and coated them with Dinosaur BBQ rub from the store. I did one rack for 2 hrs smoke then wrapped with some apple juice for two more hours. The other rack was dry for the first 3:45 and sauced and...

    Add-On Gasket Really Works

    I have an 2 rack single door MPS. I installed a third party nomex gasket and it really helped stabilize the temp. I didn't have to adjust the flame until it got over 90 degrees outside.

    Shoulder taking forever

    Oh great. I may be having this tomorrow. Things to take away for next time. Start early and fine tune my probe location. I think the meat was getting less heat than what I was measuring.

    Wash before use

    I washed it and it worked great. Burned up a little faster than I expected but made really nice smoke.

    Shoulder taking forever

    This is my first smoke and I am doing cochinita. I cut an 8 pound shoulder in half to make two batches. The meat is taking forever. I was under the assumption of 1.5 hr per pound but it has been going for 7.5 hours and it is barely to 170. Different parts of the meat are measuring wildly...

    Wash before use

    I just received a tube smoker yesterday and plan to use it on today's smoke. Can I just wash it with soap and water or do I have to season it on the grill prior to use?

    When to Add More Wood

    Thanks. I thought the wood would last longer but I will make sure to check it every 45 - 60min.

    When to Add More Wood

    This may be dumb but how often do I add wood? I plan to use chunks and from what I read I should use 2 or so pieces at a time.

    First Time Smoke

    I was planning on Christening my new smoker with a brisket this weekend but would it be better to start with something else. I have never smoked before but brisket doesn't seem that difficult from reading but I am sure you all may have a different opinion.

    Help choosing gas grill

    I have the Summit 670 (I think that's the number). I was hesitant but my wife insisted getting the best we could afford. It is awesome. The amount of burners means I can do low and slow or blazing hot. I suggest getting the best you can afford and don't look back.

    New from North Jersey

    What would be easier to do first? To me the brisket instructions seem easy. Smoke unwrapped at 225 until 160F then wrap in foil until 190-205 then take out and let sit for a while until ready to eat.
