    What are the latest brisket prices?

    I know how to trim and cook a brisket pretty good though. Cooked my first one at 15 and got 2nd place in a local cooking comp. Got beat by cabbage rolls -_-

    What are the latest brisket prices?

    My grandfather bought it so I didn't get to see what he bought until after. But a whole packet brisket over there runs a solid $80+ untrimmed. It's crazy. For choice untrimmed packer brisket.

    What is the point of the a-maze-n (I think it's called) smoke tube and the "mailbox mod" on the MES

    In my couple of days on SMF Ive seen a bunch of people talking about the a-maze-n smoke tube and the mailbox mod on their MES smokers. I want to know. What's the point? What makes them so good and why do people like them so much? I see no problem with periodically adding a handful of two of...

    Best wood. And tips. For smoking red drum and other fish.

    Recently my grandfather bought a new motor for my dad's boat. We go salt water fishing every weekend (they're out now without me because I have a project for school to get done) And we always catch red drum (red fish) and black drum. Occasionally a white or speckled trout or a sheep's head. I...

    Is there a way I can convert my smoker to be "legal" by the strict standards of BBQ competitions?

    I'm 17 and have been BBQing for 3 years. Cooking in general for nearly 5 times as long. I bought a new smoker yesterday. A MES 40. to replace my falling apart stick burner. I had the intentions of being able to compete after I turn 18 with this. But I was informed that my smoker is "illegal" by...

    Thinking about competition.

    Hey guys. I'm 17. I've been smoking for about 3 years now (on top of cooking inside since I was 3 years old) and I'm really refining my technique and recipes. Everybody who tries my BBQ LOVES it. I bought a little chat broil offset stick burner for my 15th birthday after trying out indirect...

    Did I clean my MES 40 correctly?

    I took the racks and wood tray out and threw them in the dishwasher. I then took the water pan and drip pan and soaked in hot soapy water (dawn dish soap) and some white vinegar. I then scrubbed the hell out of them but eventually they were pretty close to silver again. Then I went out and...

    Our favorite BBQ sauce

    I never make my own sauce. Every flavor has already been commercialized. My favorite off the shelf rub has to be either the shed's sweet heat. Or stubs pecan bourbon (I think it is) on pulled pork. Guy fierri's Carolina #6 with the shed's southern sweet.

    Favorite cut for jerky?

    I made jerky 3 times. Twice unsuccessful and once perfect. I used a pot roast and a skirt steak for the unsuccessful cooks. And a sirloin roast (I believe it was called) for the successful one. I was wondering. What's your favorite cut to use for beef jerky. And what can I do to ensure success...

    Help with brisket and turkey

    Thank you Willie. A little late on the reply but your numbers are pretty accurate. I raised temp to about 275 at about hour 6 of brisket/hour 2 of turkey to help get the brisket through the stall and crisp up the turkey skin. Meat was GREAT!! Brisket had perfect tenderness at a number 2 pencil...
