    Quick Brisket Question

    I'm in Canada and I made my purchase at a Costco. Canada = $$$. Strange how the new setup doesn't show the locations of members... If I even attempted to bring up the idea of making soap from fat my wife would have me strung up by the dingles lol. More power to you if you make use of it though.

    Quick Brisket Question

    To be honest, I was a bit turned off by this last brisket. Not because of how it turned out, but because I trimmed no less than 5 pounds of fat off it before smoking. I pay $5-6 per pound for brisket so dumping $25 in the garbage has me second guessing whether it is even worth doing. For...

    Quick Brisket Question

    Indeed. If it wasn't so darn late when I pulled it off the smoker I would have done it. Wrapped the first one which turned out quite well. Mark

    Quick Brisket Question

    Both actually. I smoked the brisket with the tip on and poked at 190* The tip was fine but the thinner part was well done. It was running real late yesterday so I yanked it and cut it up. We pay about $5 a pound up here on average. Mark

    Quick Brisket Question

    Here's my reason for asking. I've done two brisket smokes: First one took 6.5 hours and was fat side up. Turned out juicy but not a very pronounced smoke flavour. Second one done yesterday, fat side down, long smoke - ~10 hours. Turned out with nice smoke flavour but was drier than hell -...

    To be honest, being a 700S owner, I sincerely hope you have better luck with it than I have. Mark

    Fried Cabbage and Bacon

    Its great that you make it from fresh. We usually grab a ready cut bag of cabbage that includes shaved carrot and a couple of other things. Still turns out pretty good though. Mark

    Fried Cabbage and Bacon

    Yup, nice combo. I add 1/4 cup of chicken broth for a bit of added flavour. Mark

    Pit Boss setup question

    Nope. I let the grease flow down and across the plate. Once in awhile I scrape the worst of the crud off, but leaving it there adds to the overall flavour of your cook. Mark

    Pitboss 820 Issues(hot rod or electrical)

    It is probably a bad relay on the controller board. These are not the best quality units, believe me. Contact Pitt Boss and give them your story. They will send out a new controller. hopefully that one will continue to work for you. Mark

    Oklahoma Joe's Pellet Grill

    Looks like another China product. If they are racing to the bottom with pricing, don't even consider it.

    Brisket - Two Stage Cooking?

    Okay, thanks for the responses. I thought of it as one of convenience, especially if you know a smoke will take longer than 12 hours. We did short smokes using a Big Chief and then throwing the meat on the propane BBQ to cook, hence my idea.

    Brisket - Two Stage Cooking?

    I've read a number of threads where folks needed to start their cooks very early in order to finish by a certain time. I'm curious if splitting a cook has been considered - say, 5 hour smoke on day one and then a higher cook temp the next to finish things off. Anyone?

    Pricing out Brisket - Yeesh

    Okay, thanks for that. At least I know what the standard price is and will watch for it. I went to purchase some of those awesome Polish foot long dogs that Costco serves at their cafe, only to find out that they discontinued them. That sucks - they were awesome.
