I just got a USDA prime 14 lb brisket packer from Costco at $3.49/lb. I can hardly wait. I have never smoked a prime. I have always gotten choice packers from Walmart. My Costco used to not carry packers, only flats. This is the first packer I have seen at my Costco. I couldn't believe my...
Get yourself a good remote grilling thermometer. There is no way I would do this without one. It is one of the things that gives me confidence. It is worth the $50 investment. If you have successfully smoked other meats, you can do a brisket. It is just bigger and takes more time. You could try...
I am one of those people who likes to do a lot of research on anything that I want to do and I tend to get obsessive compulsive to the point where I have to become an expert on anything I want to do. Smoking brisket is no exception. I spent probably 3 or 4 months reading in this forum before I...
I couldn't even find anybody in the meat department to ask so I just let it go. But it sure was amusing. I would never buy anything less than a full packer anyway. A full packer is juicier than a small flat in my opinion. Besides I can get a packer at Walmart fro $3.49/Lb any day of the week...
I saw this at my local Food Lion. I knew they had recently started carrying small briskets and I knew that they were more expensive than Walmart whole packers, but this is ridiculous.
I have smoked beef and pork plenty of times, but until today I had never done a chicken before. I started out by spatchcoking it by cutting out the backbone and then I removed the ribs also. I then took about 3/4 stick of margerine and melted it. To this I added about a teaspoon of Lawry's...
My wife is the best. Today we took delivery of a new 38" Smoke Hollow vertical smoker. She bought it for my birthday and it was a real surprise. I was not expecting it at all. She bought me a smoker for my birthday many years ago but it was narrower than this one and I could never fit a brisket...
Currently I own a Landmann 3405gw smoker That measures 16" wide. For the most part it has been a good smoker for the three years I have been using it, but I can only get an 11 lb packer in it, at most. It is hard to find packers that are less than 15 lbs at Walmart. So I am on the quest to find...
Crap, I thought that prime rib roast at Harris Teeter for $5.99 was a steal. I picked up a piece on Wednesday and cooked it on Friday for supper. It was great.
$4.99 a pound is insane!
My wife actually told me once that she can't look at me when I eat a steak because I like to eat them rare. I am not going to eat them any other way so she will just have to look elsewhere while I enjoy every juicy delicious bite.
The smoke gods were kind to me today. Even though it was pouring rain, my temps stayed even and my wood smoldered long and slow. There was very little intervention on my part. I opened the smoker once to add more wood chips and that was it. No fiddling with the dampers or the gas valve. The...
8AM: The mini brisket is in the smoker. It is pouring down rain here and it is not my favorite time to do a smoke, but fortunately my patio, where my smoker is, is under the deck so I do have a little shelter from the rain. Once I get the temp stabilized I really won't need to be outside until...
I am really getting into this smoker cooking thing and have been making my own rub since my second brisket cook. Now I would like to go one step further and grind my own whole spices for my rubs. I have done a search on "grinders" in this forum and have found very little information on spice...
