    Finally--perfect brisket

    Or as close to perfect as I could hope for. Injected with creole butter, seasoned with SPOG. Ran at 275-295 on the UDS with pecan chunks til about 170. Wrapped in foil til it was 200. Then opened the foil and probed every few degrees til it was tender. Right around 208 and it was done. By far...

    First time burnt ends

    I know how to make them. My only question do I separate the point and flat straight off the smoker, or should I wrap and rest it as a whole brisket first?

    First rack of short ribs QVIEW!!!

    Dad visited a nice local meat market this weekend, and after hearing me talk about wanting to do a rack of beef ribs decided to buy me a slab. I just gotta take him some.

Got them all rubbed up at about 8:00 this morning. Gunna let them hang in the fridge til about 3 o'clock. I've never done tips before, but I'm...

    Question about measuring the temp at cooking surface

    I'm running a UDS, and I know that the center runs quite a bit hotter than the outside edge where the thermometer is. In order to get a reading on the center, can I just set a probe from my digital on the grate? Or do those probes require being inside the meat to measure accurately? I'm thinking...

    New guy with a UDS

    Hey everybody, last year I got a masterbuilt electric smoker for Father's Day. I used it about once or twice a month this last year. The food was pretty good, but not what I wanted. Growing, my dad always used a old horizontal 55 gallon drum split in half with a firebox welded to the side of it...
