    Flat too tough?

    Hey guys when I cook a brisket my lean always seems to be too tough, but I go by when the point gets probe tender. Here are some pictures of each. I cook at about 275, wrapping in butcher paper after about 7 hours. Prime briskets. What am I doing wrong?

    Freezing thawed brisket...

    So I froze a brisket I cooked last weekend and shipped it to Arizona, when they got it, it was completely thawed. They don't plan on reheating and eating until next Friday. Should they refreeze or leave in fridge? It's whole and wrapped in foil.

    Anybody ever smoke a whole bone in ribeye as prime rib?

    Going to be doing 2 of these bad boys next weekend. Planning on smoking at 250-275 for about 3 hours until IT reaches 110, then pull and bring pit up to 450-500 to reverse sear to an IT of 125. Sound about right? So excited!

    Who else is bored while smoking today? lol

    Been using prime briskets and wrapping in butcher paper and smoking around 275. For grins and giggles I picked up a cheapo 12lb brisket at wal mart for $24, trimmed it (finish weight 9lbs) and cooked it 275-300 and wrapped in foil about 4 hours in since it was drying up pretty quickly. Well 6...

    What style smoker do you prefer?

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing all these builds, but what has me curious is as to why it seems that everybody who builds an offset smoker goes reverse flow. Having have built a 1,000 gallon cooker, against what everybody has said, I've been able to maintain very good temps on it. (15* across the middle...

    First attempt at Beef Ribs

    Got some beef ribs from Kroger ($5/lb YIKES!), they were Choice, I was really hoping for prime. All in all it went well, I think I need to go to my local butcher and get some prime ones next time though.

    1,000 Gallon Smoker

    Well I started with a $40 kettle grill and got pretty good at that but got tired of using charcoal and smoldering wood so I upgraded to a $60 eBay offset smoker so at least I can have a clean burning fire (I say that loosely. Lol). Now wanting to really step it up I decided to build my own...
